Cool enough.

Am I correct that you suggest an infinite regress, or rather progress? That every higher level is also a rule-following game set up as a subset of a (presumably) yet more complex level above it? And that there is no end to this progression, no top level?

I did not mean to suggest it when I started writing the original post, but the logic, flawed as it is, seems to be pointing that way.
