CEV goes infinite levels meta, that's what the "extrapolated" part means.

Countably infinite levels or uncountably infinite levels? ;)

Countably I think, since computing power is presumably finite so the infinity argument relies on the series being convergent.

No, that isn't what the "extrapolated" part means. The "extrapolated" part means closure and consistency over inference. This says nothing at all about the level of abstraction used for setting goals.
