The underlying idea behind one or more stated points, each point being a salient fact or observation that is relevant to some course of discussion. This phenomenon occurs when an individual expresses a series of points, the spirit of which could be summarized more concisely (although often with greater potential for misinterpretation) by the metapoint. It is rare but possible to recurse to the next level of summarization, when one makes numerous obvious points that could be grouped and summarized by fewer less obvious metapoints that in turn could be summarized by a metametapoint. It all depends on the granularity of thought used in formulating the original set of points. A metapoint does need not to be stated in order to exist. It simply exists.
One may reasonably conjecture that all the truth in the universe may be reduced to one single hitherto unknown metapoint.
