iiib4
Hint:
It's in the title.
Perhaps recursive reflection refers to
in which case iiib4
refers to
3 before, i.e. three words before the code, which is
REBUS.
It would also explain the reference to the term self-evident as well as the now-deleted note to look at the rebus
tag.
The answer might be
rebus
Argument:
iiib4 = three i's before
reflection of iiib4 = after three i's
The first word after three i's in the title "The recursive reflection of this" is the word rebus
's
(apostrophe s) instead of an attached s
(i.e. I's
instead of Is
). At first I kept reading the word is
instead of multiple times the letter i

I's
and Is
is grammatically correct, even though I personally prefer I's
for better readability.

Is it,
Rebus
because
iiib4 refers to three before the end in the title, and the recursion is that the answer to this rebus is rebus?
how about
it's right before my eyes
OR
it's right before the eyes
rationale:
{ (iii) is "eyes" ["right before" (b4) (which must be, recursing reflexively, put b4 the eyes)] (whose eyes? reflect on self) "my" } and finally "it's" is self referential to the very puzzle itself
OR
"iiib4" referring to itself is "it's" and the (right "b4") must be put b4 (reflexive recursion) the "iii"'s or "eyes" and thus the rebus becomes self-evident
