well

the well only looks infinite because we render over uncertainty-surfaces with more of what's around them (think: ellipsoidal infinity mirror; think: generative fill)

there's a class of apparently-infinite well in which the well isn't infinite, the bottom is present but unrecognizable until you encounter it through direct experience and get some data by which to later recognize against

(think: punch through the glass of the infinity mirror, and stand on the reflective backing. from your now-orthogonal perspective, you're just on a new plane, is all)

infinite regress of the mental map is not infinite regress of the territory

^ nb: converse nonimplication (think: "here be dragons")
