I received a grant from the Institute for New Economic Thinking (http://ineteconomics.org/) to work on reflexivity and reflexive agents in economics. That work has led to a book to be completed in 2021.
The painting below, Las Meninas by Velazquez, is a famous expression of reflexivity, the idea of something reflecting back on or mirroring itself. For an excellent discussion of how the artist expressed reflexivity in the painting, see:

For an application of the idea to economic methodololgy, see Davis, J. and M. Klaes (2003) “Reflexivity: Curse or Cure?” Journal of Economic Methodology, Vol. 10, no. 3: pp. 329-352 (posted below).
