An infinite regress is a never ending chain, with no fixed beginning.

This could be an infinite series of nested realities, each one having a parent, and being in some way a manifestation of an aspect of the parent.

I'm not proposing this is the case, I just note that it is logically consistent. We don't know how realities other than this one operate (if there are any), or how their structure might work. Trying to model them on how this reality works is a baseless extrapolation and/or fallacy of composition. Our naive concepts of time and causality, again relating only to observing our own reality, do not equip us to make statements about goings on "outside" of it.

This would of course give rise to an "infinite number of realities". This intuitively seems impossible, but that is not an argument against reality.

This will probably always be unfalsifiable, making it as useless as any other unfalsifiable proposition.

Think of a fractal, that you can zoom in and out of as many times as you like. That's about the best way I could visualise it.
