Help with 52A - using the same procedure repeatedly r-c-r-i-e. That is if 'sterness' is right for 41D. Thanks for any help

It's recursive. To recur - to happen again

Sorry to be pedantic but this has been covered in several threads today. The correct answer is RECURSION, which is a noun. RECURSIVE is an adjective and qualifies the process; it is not a definition of the process itself. Of course, as I said in another thread, the crossword compiler may not be a mathematician but he should know the difference between a noun and an adjective.

AJT Thanks now the crossword is complete.
John (Arran) the answer has to be recursive because the whole crossword fits around this. PS I love the island you live on!

Ah, just a badly worded clue then.
