Paramorphism

A paramorphism (from Greek παρά, meaning "close together") is an extension of the concept of catamorphism first introduced by Lambert Meertens [1] to deal with a form which “eats its argument and keeps it too”,[2][3] as exemplified by the factorial function. Its categorical dual is the apomorphism.
