Omnipotence paradox
Answer
The rule-following paradox, as discussed by Saul Kripke in relation to Ludwig Wittgenstein's work, arises when attempting to establish the criteria for correctly following a rule. If the correct application of a rule is determined solely by prior rules, an infinite regress of rule-following occurs. Alternatively, if some "extra-linguistic" understanding is required, it becomes challenging to articulate how this understanding is acquired and communicated.
