Mar 25, 2013 at 4:29 comment added user12265 This sounds like of Hofstadter's concept of "strange loop", explored in his book GEB.
Mar 25, 2013 at 2:19 comment added Noah Schweber That's neat! Could you add that as an answer (maybe with a bit more explanation, or a citation)?
Mar 25, 2013 at 2:11 comment added Kevin Ventullo Pseudo-example: the modular curve $X_0(11)$, say over $\mathbb{C}$, parametrizes elliptic curves together with a subgroup of order 11. It has genus one, so is itself an elliptic curve after choosing some base point. Thus it ''contains'' 12 copies of itself.
