Yeah, maybe iterative as a concept is too facile a concept to contain what is meant here. Maybe "fractal", or recursive is better. Maybe though that's the point, it is hard after "multiple rings" to make code simple anymore, so better start off trying to optimize for simple first. Correctness requires exposure to cases you didn't know you didn't know (unknown unknowns).This is one of the reasons why I am suspicious about the long-term saliency of so-called "smart contracts" on the blockchain. The immutability of code, while super amazing for digital assets, seems like a horror-show of a liability for dApps.
