This research proposes a framework to characterize the computational complexity of recursive function superpositions, a key issue in computational complexity theory, neural network interpretability, and function composition. It develops a mathematical model to quantify the complexity of computing compositions of recursive functions, establishing bounds on resources and proposing algorithms for efficient computation.
