In this study, we explore the properties of certain solutions of Hofstadter's famous $V$-recurrence, defined by the nested recurrence relation $V(n)=V(n-V(n-1))+V(n-V(n-4))$. First, we discover the nature behind a finite chaotic meta-Fibonacci sequence in terms of mortality in the $V$-recurrence. Then, we construct a new kind of quasi-periodic solution which suggests a connection with another Hofstadter-Huber recursion, $H(n)= H(n-H(n-2)) + H(n-H(n-3))$.
