  Actually a phenomenon feeding itself isn't all that paradoxical.

  For example stars work via fusion, and the fusion keeps the star doing
the fusion. It's an endless loop (which only stops when there's too much
iron, which does not fuse, in the core of the star).

  Or more precisely: What stops a star from collapsing due to gravity?
The continuous fusion that happens in its core. But what causes the fusion?
Gravity (and temperature, which the fusion itself produces). So the fusion
itself allows the fusion to continue.
