It doesn't matter if there is an infinite regression. If each step has an agency, then nothing exist without reason.
The chain of reasons does not need to, indeed I do not see how or why it should, ever terminate at some point. The fact that there is no initial reason doesn't mean there is no reason, simply no reason that can be encapsulated as having started it all.
Either way, It's amazing things work the way they do. That was what I was getting at.
