Outgroup creation, ostracization, and banning as a recursive process. A binary search for the perfect, comprehensively delineated worldview, honestly held by exactly one person

At most one person. Exactly one iff the axiom of choice holds.

perfection here is defined as "identical to the belief of the last ingroup member". It's a Matryoshka doll with an unknown but necessarily extant base case
-
I was (in response to "honestly") accounting for the possibility that the ingroup collapses into something entirely performative, whose existence is an idealized belief system which can't be held by an actual human being. (& I think we might be there already...)

Ah, right. Yes, I agree entirely
