"Doll houses all the way down" is an expression of the problem of infinite regress.

Description

The saying alludes to the mythological idea of a doll house inside another doll house, like Matryoshka dolls.

Commentary

In the meantime, until the bigger house (+1), how about creating tiny doll houses (-1) that go inside normal-size doll houses (0), with a tiny doll figurine of you, using nano-tweezers to assemble individual molecules into yet smaller doll houses (3)?
