No, it isn't. An infinite regress is a series in which each proposition is dependent on the one before it. You're describing propositions in parallel which are independent of each other, but each dependent on another common proposition. They're not the same thing.

And the problem with recurrence relation is? How does this relationship break down if we have infinities?
