Involution (philosophy)
In philosophy, involution occurs when a process or object is ontologically "turned in" upon itself.
Involuted values
In meta-ethics, involution of values is the extension of an otherwise convenient and decent system of values to its inevitable logical conclusion, with an indecent or inconvenient result.
