In its basic concept, infinite regress can be visually explained with the world turtle. The belief that the world is carried on the back of the turtle comes with an inherent question: what is underneath that turtle? One possible answer is "another turtle". Which would mean there is another turtle underneath that one, and so on. An infinitely tall stack of turtles
You may already have noticed, Terapagos Stellar Form also alludes this: Terapagos is in the middle, on top is a little crystal version of the non-combat form, and below it is a dome with a shell-like rim and 4 "legs". It's a stack of 3 turtles
Now comes the part that a lot of people have trouble understanding
The game also has a plot that features infinite regress, in fact it explains all the weirdness and paradoxical shit. After you catch Terapagos and go to the lake in Kitakami, Professor Turo/Sada suddenly appear shrouded in mist. They came from the past, which is not just obvious from the fact that they aren't dead (lol) but they also don't "recognize" your Raidon. Anyway you talk a bit to them, and then they notice your white book. (That book was written by Briar and describes the shit that happened to you in the depth with Terapagos if you don't know). They insist on trading it with their copy of the Scarlet/Violet Book
Now comes the most interesting part: in the depths, even before you face Terapagos, you can read a journal entry from the professor that says that they suddenly found themselves at the Kitakami lake and received a white book from a child there. So what happened here?
The key to all this is that the professor that (You), the player, meets, trades their book away. The professor that died prior the events of SV did NOT trade it, we know because they used the book as the key to disable to time machine. We hold that book in our hands, so it's not possible that they traded it. Yet they said they got the white book.
