Infralogic
An area of metalogic dedicated to analyzing the deep structure of logic itself and the infinite combinatorial possibilities within logical systems. Infralogic examines not just whether arguments are valid or fallacious, but the underlying architecture that makes logic possible—the frameworks, nested relationships, and recursive patterns that emerge when logic reflects on itself. The classic example of infralogic in action is the infinite regress of online debate: someone says "if everyone jumped off a bridge, would you?" (a reductio ad absurdum). The opponent rebuts with "this is whataboutism" (a meta-claim about the argument's form). The first speaker then responds with "this is fallacy fallacy" (a meta-meta-claim about the misuse of fallacy labels). Infralogic studies this very structure—how logical moves generate counter-moves, how meta-levels stack infinitely, and how the combinatorial explosion of possible rebuttals reveals the hidden architecture of reason itself. It's the physics of logic, examining the substrate upon which all arguments are built.
Example: "Their debate had reached seven layers of meta-discussion about who was committing which fallacy. They weren't arguing anymore; they were demonstrating infralogic, the infinite regress that happens when logic turns in on itself."
