Hi Arlo, As it turns out, holding the hypothetical as hypothetical is the complete circle. There is no recursion that happens after that. This may be hard for you to understand since you seek some fundamental ground or culmination to reason. However, on contemplation of these forms of paradoxes, you may find that they do not lead anywhere except to the belief that understanding is creative and stems from the inside to the outside.
Holding the hypothetical as hypothetical as hypothetical is no different from the first circle. The idea that there is recursion is a dead end. It does not lead to any understanding apart from that I presented above, in my opinion. However, this may not be true for you. As I see it, the point it to get above (or out of the recursive). This is not difficult, but takes a different way of seeing things. Of course many philosophers (such as Borges) have discussed this so I won't be condescending by getting into that. If you like recursion, then that is great for you, but it doesn't work for me. I don't see the purpose behind it. The MOQ does not present a recursive world. Think of Quality and what it means to you. I don't think you will find any recursion there. My suggestion to Marsha was to escape from the recursive. Your intent is to strengthen it. Well, Vive le differance!
