Now one might ask isn't that object of mind called "Ultimately there is no truth at all." arising through seeing this concatenation of sign assumed to be a truth?

No! Because ultimately there is no truth at all.

So it ends up with infinite regress. Infinite regress has not limit and is indeterminate. No corresponding object can arise from infinite regress because it never ends. It is like unbounded openness.

Experientially infinite regress is like space.


The philosophical system of 'The two truths' is a construct for ordinary mind which even philosophically (i.e. analytically) is inconsistent. It entails irreconcilable contradictions on its posited 'conventional level', e.g. between scientific and buddhist alleged 'conventional truths'. Thus it isn't compatible with the lives of people of present space-time. And the reason for this is that it calls 'truths' what merely are appropriate linguistic expressions or concepts in their own very limited contexts but are inappropriate or 'false' linguistic expressions or concepts beyond these very limited contexts. Since even the expression 'ultimate truth' is merely a linguistic expression or concept it is an inappropriate of 'false' linguistic expression because it claims truth in ultimacy and negates any contextuality when it is merely a linguistic expression or concept not different from any other linguistic expression or concept.
