a train of thought that when logically analyzed and/or continued creates an infinite regression of outcomes. Similar to a paradox, but not limited to logical contradictions. It is not required to continue a particular theoretical scenario.
Also defined to be:
A paradox without a continuous scenario;
A paradox without contradictions;
an event that leads to an infinite creation and/or prevention of theoretically different outcomes.
It is often associated with critical and abstract thinking.

An Inquantradox would be something like "I'm wondering why I'm wondering about why I'm wondering about" ect..
This is not a paradox because the infinite regression doesn't come from the contradictions, but from the logical expansion of an idea.
