It goes on until it doesn’t? Seems like there’s a pseudo-scientific philosophical argument that it continues on forever at some quantum level?

There's a physics argument that information can't be destroyed, so in terms of causality it has an effect (see butterfly effect for reference) but because of various physical thresholds like the planck length, general limits on measurement precision (uncertainty principle, resolution limits, detection limits), chaos theory, etc, at one point it becomes indistinguishable noise.
