circularity

circular reasoning (More direct and common for the faulty argument itself.) | begging the question (Traditional logic term for assuming the conclusion, though often used differently in everyday English.) | tautology (Sometimes overlaps, but more strictly means needless repetition or a statement true by definition.)

sound reasoning (Reasoning that supports its conclusion without such a flaw.) | independent proof (Evidence or reasoning that does not depend on the conclusion it is meant to prove.)

cyclicality (Emphasizes regular cycles or recurring patterns.) | recurrence (Emphasizes repetition, not always a closed-loop structure.) | loop structure (More concrete and often used for stories, processes, or systems.)

linearity (A straight, sequential movement without returning to the start.) | progression (Movement forward through stages rather than back into a cycle.)

closed-loop resource use (Emphasizes materials flowing back into use rather than becoming waste.) | circular economy practices (Refers to the broader business and economic model connected with circularity.) | resource efficiency (Broader term; may include using fewer resources, not necessarily reusing them.)

linear economy (A take-make-dispose model with little reuse.) | throwaway model (Informal phrase for a system based on short use and disposal.) | wastefulness (General opposite idea of using resources carelessly.)
