    That mapping is Cantor's proposal. But for every other mapping,

    Cantor's proposal is between members of two distinct sets.

    No. He does not specify that. And there is no reason to do so,
    except that it can be used to contradict the ridiculous nonsense
    that there are as many fractions as prime numbers.y

    But he DOES, as he talks about the two SETS of numbers that are
    matched up.

    One set and its subset. Dedekind: A system S is said to be /infinite/
    if it is similar to a real part of itself. To consider them as two
    sets does not change the numbers of elements.


    But does affect your logic of pairing.

    No. Since there are precisely as many natnumbers n as natnumber
    fractions n/1, nothing is affected. The only effect is that the Os can
    be proven to remain the same number in every step. This is true in all mappings but more easily seen in mine.

    Yes, the size of the Natual Numbers is the same size as the Size of the Rational Fractions that have a denomenator equal to 1.

    This doesn't mean it can't ALSO be the same size as the full field of n/d.

    Your inability to understand that is just your own problem.


    So, With infinite sets, a proper subset CAN be the same size as its
    parent.

    Impossible.

    Nope, PROVEN.

    Since the DEFINITION of "Same Size" is the ability to make a 1-to-1
    mapping between the sets.

    Do you want to claim that two sets that you can match EVERY DISTINCT
    element of one to a UNIQUE DISTINCT ELEMENT of the other are NOT the
    same size?

    and we can build such a mapping between the set of natural Numbers (N)
    with the set of even Numbers (E).

    Since for ALL elements n, a member of the Natural Numbers, there exists
    an element e, a member of tghe Even Nubers, such that the value of e is
    twice the value of n (e = 2n)

    EVERY element of N is mapped to a DISTINCT element of E.

    Try to find an exception.

    If E is smaller than N, then BY DEFINITION, when building a bijection,
    two different values of n must map to the same value of E, but that
    never happens.

    But E is ALSO a proper subset of the Natural Numbers, as we can also
    build E by removing all the "odd" values from the Natural Numbers.

    In fact, it turns out that the size of the set of Natural Numbers is
    exactly the same size of ANY non-finite subset of any set based on some
    bounded length tuple of natural numbers (like the rationals). They are
    all "Countably Infinite" with a size of Aleph_0.


    You are just PROVING you don't understand how infinity works,

    I understand that a crowd of fools has been tricked by Cantor.

    NOPE, you have FOOLED YOURSELF by beleiving your own lies.

    Your problem is your instance on using "finite" logic on infinite sets,
    which makes your world blow itself up in contradictions.

    Which seems to have blown your brains out of your head.

    All you have done is proven that YOUR logic can yield different

    That means that YOUR logic system is proven INCONSISTENT, and thus BLOWN

    Your problem is that YOUR logic system can't actually have N, but you
    still talk as if it does.

    Thus, your system is BLOWN UP.

    N is the FULL SET of Natural Numbers, all countable infinite number of
    them all the way to the unreachable (by finite operations) end.

    If your logic system can't handle that, you LIE every time you mention
    that set.

    Except that there *IS NO* Natural Number with less than ℵo successors,

    Even for all the numbers in the ..., as it NEVER ENDS and thus EVERY

    I don't. Matheologians do.

    Then why do you talk about a set of Number you "don't believe" in?

    Any time you mention "Natural Numbers", or "ℵo", you are accepting the "Mathology".

    You can't talk about "Cantor" and his bijections, if you don't accept
    the rules he discussed his theories in.

    You just seem to be too stupid to understand that fact.

    You logic only handles FINITE sets (possible of unspecified by finite
    size), as such, "infinte" bijections can't occur, so you can't talk
    about the mapping of N to NxN as you don't HAVE the set N.

    It is a TYPE ERROR to talk about what is "between" them. What you mean

    Not a defined term for NUMBERS.

    It could be as small as 1 or almost as big as 11, so NOT A VALUE.

    Switch to Geometry, and we have an answer, but not for Mathematics.

    We might INFORMALLY treat the mathematics as Geometry, but it isn't

    No, "Set Theory" doesn't talk about "differences" based on the values of
    the elements, because that is outside of the domain of Set Theory.

    The "Distance" between two sets would be based on which elements of the
    set differ and which are the same.


    Mathematics talks about NUMBERS not "Sets" as having a distance between
    them. Mathematics uses set theory to describe the sets, but doesn't
    define how you take the distance between a set and a number.

    Yes, Geometry defines this, as Geometry doesn't consider (0,10] as a
    "set" but an open ended line, which is made of points.

    Which is MATH THEORY, not SET THEORY (which is a SPECIFIC subset of
    math, DIFFERENT than Order theory).

    Read the first words of that reference: In mathematics, especially order theory.

    The "Set Theory" part of Mathematics doesn't deal with the values, other
    than "equality". Sets themselves are UNORDERED. Other parts of
    Mathematics (like Order Theory) adds concept of "order" to the ELEMENTS
    of the Sets.

    And again, it compares SET to SET, not SET to Number.

    And "Order Theory" doesn't define "Distance" either, only ordering.

    Do the elements of the set have an ordering relationship? And is it strict.

    Their distances must be 2.

    Why 2 ?

    Doubling of ordinals with distance 1 results in ordinals with distance 2.

    For example, 0-1 isn't an ordinal.

    But 0 and 1 are ordinals.

    if n < ω
    then 2⋅n < ω

    That is impossible because doubling is a linear operation.

    Why?

    Every Natural Number has aleph_0 numbers above it, one of which will be
    double it. Thus, doubling ALL the Natural Numbers still gives you
    results that are all Natural Numbers.

    You logic blows up, because it can't understand such an infinite system.

    Multiplication on Natural Numbers is CLOSED, so ANY Natural Number times
    any other Natural Number (like 2) is another Natural Number so NEVER
    gets as big as omega.

    You just continue to run into the problem that you finite logic just
    blows up when attempting to try to handle infinite sets.

    And where does he talk about the "Distance" betwen the Set of the
    Natural Numbers, and the "Number" w?

    You huff a lot about the "errors" he has made, but neglect to point out
    that you complaint is that you don't accept the basis of logic that he
    uses, and that the problem is the logic you want to try to use can't
    actually DO the things to define the sets he is using.

    Not understanding the rules of logic for the field you are working in is
    a good way to make errors.

    But all of this just seems above your head, so you just call everyone
    else "wrong" when what you mean is you disagree with them because you
    refuse to use the logic that they are using, and instead use logic
    beyond its capability and just ignore all the contradictions it creates
    which makes you close your eyes to the "darkness" you need to put on
    things to try to ignore the errors.

    Doubling IS absorbed by the existing Natural Numbers.

    Name a Natural Number that can not be doubled!!!

    Just try to.


    Thus, doubling ALL the Natural Numbers still gives you results that
    are all Natural Numbers.

    Impossible, since all are doubled.

    POSSIBLE!!!!

    That is the "miracle" of INFINITY. It doesn't act like your finite logic incorrect presumes.

    Your mind is just too small to understand this.

    You logic just blows up when it tries to deal with something bigger than it.

    There is no "doubling" since functions are relations between 2 fixed sets.

    4*2 doubles 4.
    {1, 2, 3, ..., ω}*2 doubles the domain of the elements.

    With Dedekind, all infinite sets like IN are having proper subsets and have therefore real supersets so there is any required "place" in infinite sets.

    Why?

    What number in the set of Natual Numbers doesn't have another Natural
    Number that is twice it?

    Your definitions of "Potential Infinity" and "Actual Infinity" don't
    seem to match what you claim they do or what they actually are.

    Note, no "Natural Number" is actually infinite, that distinction falls
    on omega. But the SET of the Natural Numbers is Actually Infinite in

    Does that mean the Natural Numbers themselves are individually only "Potentially Infinite" but the set of them is "Actually Infinite" by
    your definitions? If so, you need to be clearer about what you are
    talking about when you discuss things.

    The visible natural numbers are potentially infinite. The set ℕ is

    Because ω is smaller than ω2.

    THe two set/series are of the same size even though the bottom misses

    The two sets are of same number of elements because every elements is

    If you accept set theory, then you have to accept too that there is no
    ordinal between ℕ and ω. The interval populated by ℕ is (0, ω). By doubling the number of elements remains the same, but the populated
    interval is (0, ω2) with ω amidst.

    I do not claim that ω is in the image, but it is amidst the interval.
    That proves that doubled numbers surpassed it.

    |⟦0,k⦆| = |⟦0,k+1⦆|

    Proof: Let f⤨(f⁻¹(k+1)) = f(k+2)

    If,
    for any sum k+n
    |⟦0,k⦆| < |⟦0,k+1⦆|
    |⟦0,n⦆| < |⟦0,n+1⦆|
    |⟦0,k+n⦆| = |⟦0,k+n+1⦆|

    the first transfinite ordinal above the set ℕ would be the value ω. So yes, as you say below, there are no "finite" numbers between the set ℕ
    and the value ω, but since ℕ has no "highest" member there is no "predecessor" to ω, just as there is no predecessor to 0 in the Natural Numbers.

    Nonsense.
    ω follows upon all natural numbers. There is nothing between them and ω.

    From the existence of an injection between sets,
    we can deduce
    the existence of an injection between nearby sets.

    S⁻ˣ and S⁺ʸ are sets nearby S
    S⁻ˣ and S⁺ʸ abbreviate
    S\{x}:x∈S and S∪{y}:y∉S

    S⁻ˣ and S⁺ʸ are not.quite.operations.
    They exist, but x and y are any member or non.member.
    S⁻ˣ and S⁺ʸ are not uniquely.valued.

    | Assume
    | ∃f: S → S⁻ˣ: ¬∃s≠s′:f(s)=f(s′)
    |
    | Define f↗(y) = x
    | otherwise f↗(s) = f(s)
    | f↗: S⁺ʸ → S: ¬∃s≠s′:f↗(s)=f↗(s′)

    Concisely,
    S⁻ˣ [≥] S ⟹ S⁻ˣ [≥] S [≥] S⁺ʸ

    | Assume
    | ∃g: S⁺ʸ → S: ¬∃s≠s′:g(s)=g(s′)
    |
    | Define g⤨(y) = x
    | g⤨(g⁻¹(x)) = g(y)
    | otherwise g⤨(s) = g(s)
    | g⤨: S → S⁻ˣ: ¬∃s≠s′:g⤨(s)=g⤨(s′)

    Concisely,
    S [≥] S⁺ʸ ⟹ S⁻ˣ [≥] S [≥] S⁺ʸ

    And always
    S⁻ˣ [≤] S [≤] S⁺ʸ
    because
    S⁻ˣ ⊆ S ⊆ S⁺ʸ

    Those results about injections.between.sets
    can be concisely summarized as
    S⁻ˣ [<] S [<] S⁺ʸ
    or

    Please answer the question.

    Consider an ordinal as a prequel.set:
    the set of all ordinals before that ordinal.
    κ = ⟦0,κ⦆

    ⟦κ,μ⦆ = {ordinal λ: κ ≤ λ < μ }

    We have gotten the result for a set S
    S⁻ˣ [<] S [<] S⁺ʸ
    or
    S⁻ˣ [=] S [=] S⁺ʸ
    because we can define
    f↗(y) = x and g⤨(g⁻¹(x)) = g(y)

    A prequel.set ⟦0,κ⦆ is a set.
    Thus,
    ⟦0,κ⦆⁻¹ [<] ⟦0,κ⦆ [<] ⟦0,κ⦆⁺¹
    or
    ⟦0,κ⦆⁻¹ [=] ⟦0,κ⦆ [=] ⟦0,κ⦆⁺¹

    We can define, for each ordinal κ
    a unique successor κ⁺¹
    for an operation κ+1
    where non.unique S⁺ʸ is not.
    κ+1 = ⟦0,κ+1⦆ = ⟦0,κ⦆∪{⟦0,κ⦆}

    Consider the set
    {ordinal λ: ⟦0,λ-1⦆ᴲ [<] ⟦0,λ⦆ [<] ⟦0,λ+1⦆ }

    ᴲif λ-1 exists.
    Note that κ+1 always exists.

    | Assume
    | κ ∈ {ordinal λ: ⟦0,λ-1⦆ᴲ[<]⟦0,λ⦆[<]⟦0,λ+1⦆}
    |
    | ⟦0,κ-1⦆ [<] ⟦0,κ⦆ [<] ⟦0,κ+1⦆
    | not( ⟦0,κ⦆ [=] ⟦0,κ+1⦆ [=] ⟦0,κ+2⦆ )
    | ⟦0,κ⦆ [<] ⟦0,κ+1⦆ [<] ⟦0,κ+2⦆ )
    | κ+1 ∈ {ordinal λ: ⟦0,λ-1⦆ᴲ[<]⟦0,λ⦆[<]⟦0,λ+1⦆}

    Therefore,
    ∀κ ∈ {ordinal λ: ⟦0,λ-1⦆ᴲ[<]⟦0,λ⦆[<]⟦0,λ+1⦆}:
    κ+1 ∈ {ordinal λ: ⟦0,λ-1⦆ᴲ[<]⟦0,λ⦆[<]⟦0,λ+1⦆}

    The set {ordinal λ: ⟦0,λ-1⦆ᴲ[<]⟦0,λ⦆[<]⟦0,λ+1⦆}
    is closed under the successor.operation.
    Its closure has nothing to do with humongosity.
    Closure ultimately follows from the definitions
    f↗(y) = x and g⤨(g⁻¹(x)) = g(y)

    We build on that result.
    Addition.closure from successor.closure
    because κ+μ⁺¹ = (κ+μ)⁺¹ and no.first.exception. Multiplication.closure from addition.closure
    because κ⋅μ⁺¹ = (κ⋅μ)+κ and not.first.exception.

    ∀κ,μ ∈ {ordinal λ: ⟦0,λ-1⦆ᴲ[<]⟦0,λ⦆[<]⟦0,λ+1⦆}: κ+μ,κ⋅μ ∈ {ordinal λ: ⟦0,λ-1⦆ᴲ[<]⟦0,λ⦆[<]⟦0,λ+1⦆}

    The meaning of ω is the least.upper.bound of
    this set: {ordinal λ: ⟦0,λ-1⦆ᴲ[<]⟦0,λ⦆[<]⟦0,λ+1⦆}
    Its meaning is NOT connected to some vague humongosity.

    {ordinal λ: ⟦0,λ-1⦆ᴲ[<]⟦0,λ⦆[<]⟦0,λ+1⦆} is
    the prequel set of ω so we can write
    ⟦0,ω⦆ = {ordinal λ: ⟦0,λ-1⦆ᴲ[<]⟦0,λ⦆[<]⟦0,λ+1⦆}
    which is a nice improvement in conciseness.

    Even when we write
    0, 1, 2, ..., ω, ω+1, ω+2, ...
    ⟦0,ω⦆ = {ordinal λ: ⟦0,λ-1⦆ᴲ[<]⟦0,λ⦆[<]⟦0,λ+1⦆}
    ω is NOT _humongous_
    ω is _infinite_ which has properties different from finite.

    It is enough if you explain
    where ω is in the lower line:

    0, 1, 2, 3, ..., w
    | | | | ||| | 0, 2, 4, 6, ..., w*2

    ∀κ < ω: k⋅2 < ω
    ∀κ ≥ ω: k⋅2 > ω
    ∀κ <≥ ω: k⋅2 ≠ ω

    ...because
    f↗(y) = x and g⤨(g⁻¹(x)) = g(y)

    Right, and any Natural Number * 2 is a Natural Number, so less than ω.

    Your logic can't handle the fact that the set of Natural Numbers is

    not all natural numbers have been doubled because new products have been inserted below ω.

    ∀κ ≥ ω: k⋅2 > ω

    But is it also less than ω*2? Are all products
    {ω, ω+1, ω+2, ω+3, ...}*2 less than ω*2?

    Nope.

    Counting, BY DEFINITION, stays in the set of "Counting Numbers",
    otherwise know as the Ordinals (and that is the BASE Ordinals, the
    FINITE Ordinals, not the Transfinite Ordinals which require moving from "Counting" to Counting Infinities.)


    That you think you can reach omega, the first transfinite ordinal, by
    finite counting, shows your error.

    It isn't that there isn't a KNOWN Natural Number that reaches it, there
    is NO Natural Number that is before it, as there is no "last" Natural
    Number, because they are unbounded.

    Your mind just can't comprehend what infinity is, and thus tries to
    comprehend it by making it something smaller than it actually is.

    The set of Natural Number is Closed under Addition, Multiplication, and exponentiation.

    After all, all Multiplication is, is a repeated addition, Multiplication
    by a Natural Number can't get you to a Number you couldn't get by addition.

    n*2 = n + n, so a natural number
    n*3 = n + n + n = n*2 + n, so a natural number

    n*m (m > 0) = n*(m-1) + n, so a natural number by induction.

    You logic, like your brain, is just exploded with inconsistancies
    because you have used it beyond its capabilities.

    Perhaps WM thinks that ω is a finite boundary for the natural numbers.
    Then, I can see where he thinks it must be some really big, hyper huge, natural number. Strange!

    Yes, it sort of matches his "dark numbers", you "somehow" reach a point
    where you can't use the numbers as finite number (becuase they are no
    long finite, but transfinite).

    But then he insists they must be part of the finite numbers.

    The infinite must be finite because his logic doesn't allow for true infinities.

    I answer and you refuse to see it because
    ω isn't what you (WM) want ω to be.

    I assume that it is the first transfinite number, following directly upon
    all natural numbers. If you can't or won't understand that, you need not answer.

    ω isn't in Y

    Wrong. Cantor's sequence of ordinals shows that ω is amidst between 0 and ω*2. See Transfinity, https://www.hs-augsburg.de/~mueckenh/Transfinity/Transfinity/pdf, p.42. If
    ω is not in Y then at least nearby ordinals are in Y.

    Nope.

    First, if we are talking the set of NATURAL Numbers, we don't normally
    talk about "intervals" like this, as (0, ω) would be the set {1, 2, 3,
    ...} and when doubled would be the set {2, 4, 6, ...} which isn't really
    an "inteval" any more as it skips values.

    Intervals are more naturally used in continuous systems (like
    Rationals), and those are not normally talked about as "Ordianals", (as positions in sequences tends to be seen as discreet) and thus we don't
    get to ω which is defined as an ordinal. You are mixing domains and
    making category errors.

    Not with your logic, which is why it blows up when you try to use it on
    such systems.

    You need to allow yourself to do better than needing to individually
    count to handle the logic of transfinite numbers.

    Since you don't, you can't use any of it.

    You can't say something is actually "impossible" if it is only
    impossible when you artificially restrict yourself from doing thing that
    you can actually do.

    Having rejected "Mathologies", you limit yourself from that which
    becomes possible when you embrace the concepts they allow.

    That is YOUR loss.

    Of course you can double all the elements, they just double into a

    This blows your mind, as your mind doesn't understand how unbounded sets

    The countably infinte set of the Natural Numbers, which has no upper

    I don't remember the words "finite steps". He creates a bijection
    between the sets. Note, there is a difference in meaning between a
    finite countable set (which we can count in finite steps) and the
    countably infinite set which pairs to the infinte set of the counting
    numbers in a one-to--one mapping, which can not be done in a "finite
    number of steps" since the set isn't finite, but infinite.

    You just don't seem to understand the nature of infinity and countably
    infinite sets.

    what the first transfinite ordinal is.

    The original set fits in (0, ω).
    The doubled set doesn't.

    ⦅0,ω+ω⦆ fits ⦅0,ω⦆
    ω+i ⟼ 2⋅i
    i ⟼ 2⋅i+1

    (k%2=0 ? ω+(k÷2) : (k-1)÷2) ⟻ k

    ⦅0,ω⋅ω⦆ fits ⦅0,ω⦆
    ω⋅i+j ⟼ (i+j-1)(i+j-2)÷2+i

    ω⋅iₖ+jₖ ⟻ k
    sₖ = max{h: (h-1)(h-2)÷2<k}
    iₖ = k-(sₖ-1)(sₖ-2)÷2
    jₖ = sₖ-iₖ

    Each ordinal before the first uncountable ordinal
    fits ⦅0,ω⦆

    ----
    ω the.first.transfinite.ordinal stands between
    different.sized.neighbor.haver ordinals
    and same.sized.neighbor.haver ordinals.

    Neighbors of different.sized.neighbor.havers
    are different.sized.neighbor.havers.

    Neighbors of same.sized.neighbor.havers
    are same.sized.neighbor.havers.

    | Assume that ω has both
    | different.sized.neighbor.haver neighbor ω-1
    | and same.sized.neighbor.haver neighbor ω+1
    |
    | ω is a different.sized.neighbor.haver.
    | ω is a same.sized.neighbor.haver.
    | Contradiction.

    Therefore,
    ω does not have both ω-1 and ω+1

    ω has ω+1 = ω∪{ω}
    ω does not have ω-1

    ⎛ ω has a same.sized.neighbor.haver neighbor ω+1
    ⎝ ω is a same.sized.neighbor.haver.

    The successor of a different.sized.neighbor.haver

    The sum of different.sized.neighbor.havers

    The product of different.sized.neighbor.havers

    The arithmetic of different.sized.neighbor.havers

    Same.sized.neighbor.havers, ω among them,
    do not have the familiar arithmetic.

    On the other hand, "in principle" it might be "possible" - if you
    believe in/accept supertasks.

    See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertask

    Note that set theory does not rely on supertasks. That's why we use a
    set theoretic definition for the notion /countable set/. See above.

    Hint: On this basis we can prove for example (a) that the set of
    rational numbers (Q) is a countable set and (b) that the set of real
    numbers (R) is an uncountable set.

    Yes, there is sort of a gap below ω as you can only get to ω via a
    "hyper" step, not a normal step, like from 1 to 2.

    There are no Ordinals in that gap, as the set below it is unbounded, but
    in a sense, there is a gap, since you can back down from ω, or step up
    to ω with ordinary steps, only "hyper" steps, which go from finite, to ω
    to 2*w, to 3*ω and so on.

    You invent "dark" numbers, because you can't look at the nature of the unbounded because you are blinded by your finite logic that has blown

    Of course it does, as every number < ω is finite, and any finte number

    any element of the set (0, ω) will be a finite number 0 < k < ω (since ω

    No, you are right. But not all doubling results in even natural numbers.

    It would be nice if that task were roughly similar

    On the other hand, "in principle" it might be "possible" - if you

    When every count is done in half the remaining time, it would be possible,
    but only if all numbers were accessible. The impossibility proves dark
    numbers.

    See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertask

    Note that set theory does not rely on supertasks. That's why we use a
    set theoretic definition for the notion /countable set/. See above.

    The mapping is nothing else but counting. f(x) defines the position where
    an argument has to be inserted.

    Hint: On this basis we can prove for example (a) that the set of
    rational numbers (Q) is a countable set

    only if potential infinity is asumed.

    and (b) that the set of real
    numbers (R) is an uncountable set.

    Only if actual infinity of definable numbers is erroneously assumed.

    Name one that can't be!

    Your logic just blows you up because it doesn't understand the nature of unbounded infinite sets.

    You invent "dark" numbers, because you can't look at the nature of the unbounded because you are blinded by your finite logic that has blown
    your logic to smiterines because you used it when it can't work.

    natural number, he just cannot see it, so, well, it must be dark. lol!
    Your largest natural number is already in the set of all natural numbers!

    You invent "dark" numbers, because you can't look at the nature of the

    But if ω - 1 existed, it would be before ω, and thus less than it.

    That is the definition of ordinal numbers.

    But since it is NOT a "finite" number, as "ω - 1" + 1 would be ω and not
    a finite number, but all finite numbers + 1 give the next finite number,
    and ω is DEFINED as the first transfinite ordinal, it can not exist.

    Why?

    [0, ω]*2 = { [0, w), ω } *2 = {[0, w), ω*2} since the Natural numbers
    (what [0, ω) represents) are closed under multiplication.

    The fact that a mixed set of two different classes of ordinals ends up
    with two different classes of ordinals isn't surprizing.

    The fact that there are "gaps" in the result isn't surprising, as we see
    the same gaps in the finite part of the set:

    0, 1, 2, 3 ... *2 => 0, 2, 4, 6, ...

    so the fact that 1 disappeared into a gap in the result says the gap
    between the finites and ω*2 is reasonable.

    But n, the finite number, never reaches ω.

    ω isn't just some unimaginably big number, it is a value beyond

    Of course, if you logic tries to make that transfinite value finite
    because that is all it can handle, your system just blows up in your face.

    But the "Size" of the set is Aleph_0, and 2*Aleph_0 = Aleph_0, so it
    "enlarged" to be the same size it was before.

    That is how the math of transfinite Cardinal numbers work.

    It may break your logic, because your logic only handles finite numbers,
    and blows itself up when pushed past that.

    the problem is the set below it is unbounded,

    But ω isn't in the set, so it can't be the upper bound of the set that
    is below ω

    Your logic just said that ω is the number before ω, so got stuck in a infinite loop.

    After all, if the number below ω is the upper bound of the set of
    Natural Numbers, and that is itself ω, then the number below ω must be ω
    by your logic.

    BOOM.

    There is not "Upper Bound" for the Natural Numbers *IN* the Natural
    Numbers to be the "last" value to step back to.

    Thus, your logic about ω-1 breaks. The value does not exist, as there
    can not be a "transfinite" value below ω, by its definition, and ω-1
    can't be a Natural Number, as then it would be the "last" Natural
    Number, but that set doesn't have a "last" member, as its "Upper Bound"

    No, because 2 or 5 were FINITE numbers, not transfinite numbers.

    Regards, WM

    Right, and 2 or 5 are not assigned as a number for an ordinal type. The "Numbers" assigned to the Ordinal Type for the Natural Numbers is w, the
    value that represents the "size" of the Natural Numbers.

    There is no set with an Ordinal Type of 2 or 5.

    The key point is that numbers like w are not normal values that you can
    get to by finite counting, which seems to be the only type of numbers
    you understand.

    Thus, your logic just can not actually handle any of the transfinite
    numbers, as they have values that you logic just can not represent,
    which is what creates your "darkness", as to see them requires you to
    admit that there must be more than you logic allows.

    Like a LIE I guess.

    The fact that you logic needs for there to be a value there is what

    There is not "Upper Bound" for the Natural Numbers *IN* the Natural

    Thus, your logic about ω-1 breaks. The value does not exist,

    In actual infinity something is below ω.

    Nope, at least not just one step below.

    What is "below" ω is the whole set of Natural Numbers.

    each number which CAN be counted to from 0

    any number which canNOT be counted to from 0

    By definition,
    ω is between

    Imagine being someone who denies that definition of ω

    Because the following isn't a claim about ω
    you (the denier) should still admit:

    then n⋅2 can be counted to from 0 (through n)

    If ω exists as defined,
    then doubling never crosses ω

    Hence
    not all natural numbers exist as defined
    for visible numbers.

    We describe some things.
    For our convenience,
    we refer to what we describe by some label.
    Whatever label we use, "natural number" or
    "flying rainbow sparkle pony",
    using that label uses _that description_

    2.
    We describe some things as
    things which can be counted to from 0

    Everything which is
    a thing which can be counted to from 0
    is
    a thing which can be counted to from 0

    Nothing which is not
    a thing which can be counted to from 0
    is
    a thing which can be counted to from 0

    For our convenience,
    I refer to
    things which can be counted to from 0
    as
    flying rainbow sparkle ponies.

    3.
    I describe a thing as
    the first upper bound of
    flying rainbow sparkle ponies.

    For our convenience,
    I refer to that thing as ω
    ω is the first upper bound
    of flying rainbow sparkle ponies
    (of things which can be counted to from 0).

    4.
    If n can be counted to from 0
    then n⋅2 can be counted to _from n_
    then n⋅2 can be counted to from 0 _through n_

    If n is a flying rainbow sparkle pony
    then n⋅2 is a flying rainbow sparkle pony.

    If n is before ω
    then n⋅2 before ω

    5.
    For each flying rainbow sparkle pony m,
    it is not always true that,
    if n is before m
    then n⋅2 before m

    However,
    it is always true that,
    if n is before ω
    then n⋅2 before ω

    The explanation for that is that ω
    least upper bound of flying rainbow sparkle ponies
    is not
    a flying rainbow sparkle pony.

    6.
    My guess is that you (WM) feel that
    you (WM) should be able to _define_ ω into being
    a flying rainbow sparkle pony.

    Definitions do not have that power.
    The most that you (WM) can do in that regard
    is to define ω into "being" non.existent, since
    a flying.rainbow.sparkle.pony least.upper.bound of flying.rainbow.sparkle.ponies must not.exist.

    7.
    A claim that a non.existent thing exists
    has consequences.
    It has all the consequences you can wish for
    and all the consequences you can wish against.
    It has both, for and against.
    For that reason, it's useless as an argument.

    Imagine that the existence of darkᵂᴹ numbers
    is a consequence of a flying.rainbow.pony
    first.upper.bound of flying.rainbow.ponies.
    That's useless as an argument because
    the non.existence of darkᵂᴹ numbers follows
    equally well.

    It's a nice change from
    what I usually hear about me.

    Unfortunately,
    WM is not interested in
    our ideas of (our) math and logic
    but in his own (mostly read up upon) ideas and
    his flexible and willingly deformable "true logic"
    which a "normal" person can even "feel" --
    but even more is WM interested in
    WHAT (we) folks CLAIM and STATE about (our) math,
    more than about that math itself.

    You might think I'm on a fool's quest.
    You might even be correct to think that.
    But what it is I am trying to do is address
    the reasons WM thinks what he thinks,
    whatever those reasons are.

    I think it's possible that
    WM thinks that
    a mathematical claim is mathematical because
    of the great certainty with which it is expressed.

    I think it's possible that
    WM thinks that
    _he_ has been playing by The Rules, even though
    _we_ have been cheating,
    by overriding his mathematizingᵂᴹ certainties
    with "proofs" (WM uses deprecating quote marks).


    I think it's possible that
    WM has no objection
    to the run.of.the.mill claims about
    the first.upper.bound of
    numbers which can be counted.to from 0
    (and things like that) as long as
    those claims are not made using symbols

    which WM thinks is given by THE ONE real nature
    and by THE ONE true logic which can ONLY be

    I have tried to accommodate
    the "seen.only" view of mathematics with my
    little "only.not.first.false" backgrounder.
    A finite sequence with no first false claim
    is "seen" and must be with no false claim.

    If I have had any success at all with that approach,
    it appears to be no more than partial.

    If n can be counted to from 0

    then n⋅2 can be counted to from 0 _through n_

    WM rejects the idea that

    WM rejects
    ∀j:∃k≠j: j<k

    If I recall correctly, the reason he's given is

    that only flies if "infinite" means
    "more than one"

    and WM rejects it also
    in the any mental space because
    it is "wrong logic" and idiocy
    (but he tends to "allow" for
    the idea of "potential infinity").

    It seems to me that
    there is less going on there,
    going on either correctly or incorrectly,
    than there appears to be at first.

    WM call various things
    "actually infinite" and "potentially.infinite".
    What does he mean by those terms?
    NOT "What does Cantor mean? Euclid mean?"

    WM alters definitions to whatever suits him.
    What others mean is no more than
    a suggestion, a guess about what he means.

    I look at how things get labelled.
    "Actual infinity" is used to disagree with
    the mathematical.industrial.complex.
    "Potential infinity" is used to agree with
    the mathematical.industrial.complex.
    And that's the whole of it.

    | ∀j:∃k≠j: j<k

    | ¬∃k:∀j≠k: j<k

    Therefore,
    "something something actual infinity".
    Oh! We matheologians are so silly.
    Wolfgang Mückenheim wins again.

    But
    there is nothing about infinity of any kind
    in the derivation.
    WM doesn't care.
    He has his two permission slips, which
    excuse him from thinking about any of this.

    WMs philosophy is like ultrafinitistic
    while he is too dense for any mathematic thinking
    which he lacks to basically understand altogether)...

    I have a strong suspicion that
    WM's philosophies are
    roll.over.and.go.back.to.sleep and
    under.no.circumstances.bother.me.with.that.

    I have trouble accepting that
    WM is literally unable to follow this,
    but
    I can imagine that,
    after 30+ years of shielding his ignorance,
    he is unwilling to get rid of it.

    If he weren't actively working to propagate
    his ignorance, I'd be more.than.half inclined

    Nope. it can't streach beyound ω, because ω is defined to be beyond it, beyond the boundless list of finite numbers.

    Your problem is you seem to only be able to think in terms of finite
    numbers, and ω is just beyond that.

    That is why numbers like this are called "Transfinite", they are beyond
    what is finite, and finite thinking can not handle them.

    The errors are all on your end for not using the tools that can handle
    this sort of number. Your finite logic just can't hold them.

    That doesn't mean there is a largest Natural Number.

    In fact, the fact that the smallest Upper Bound we can find is Omega,

    "Highest" Natural number.

    The findable natural numbers constitute only a small initial segment of
    ℕ. Every findable number has ℵo successors. But these successors are natural numbers too which can be subtracted from ℕ, such than no natural numbers remain, only collectively.

    But there isn't a specific number that is the end.

    There is no such number findable.

    That is the problem with your logic.

    That is not a problem with logic. It is only a problem for people who

    No, nothing must be shifted - it is enough to give each element another

    When 1 is added to 3, then no other name but precisely 4 is required.

    Here is some help for you raving mad (Tobsüchtiger) in citation:

    In summary,

    The Isomorphiesatz von Dedekind

    asserts that although we can obtain multiple Peano systems by changing notation, they are essentially the same. Isomorphism provides a precise
    notion of equivalence between these systems. The theorem ensures that
    the natural numbers are uniquely characterized by the Peano axioms.

    (For more information, you can refer to the original German article on the Isomorphiesatz von Dedekind.)

    The Isomorphiesatz von Dedekind is a fascinating result in the theory of natural numbers and their foundational properties.

    Mückenheim, Du verstehst (so wie die beiden Deppen RR und TB) wirklich _nichts_ von zeitgenössischer (d. i. axiomatischer) Mengenlehre. Eine /geordnete Menge/ ist hier ein geordnetes Paar (M, <), wo M die Menge

    They do if you want to use them to step into the set, like you did.

    I use the upper bond only as upper bound.

    But then you can't talk about using it to "step back" from omega.

    I can't because almost all natural numbers are dark.

    No, they are not dark, you only refuse to look at them with eyes that
    can see them.


    Yes, ALL Natural Numbers are less than omega.

    Yes.

    That doesn't mean there is a largest Natural Number.

    In fact, the fact that the smallest Upper Bound we can find is Omega,
    which is out of the set of Natural Numbers means that there is no
    "Highest" Natural number.

    The findable natural numbers constitute only a small initial segment of
    ℕ. Every findable number has ℵo successors. But these successors are natural numbers too which can be subtracted from ℕ, such than no natural numbers remain, only collectively.

    Except that you logic, which is based on finite rules, doesn't support
    the creation of the set ℕ, so you can't do that.

    And the other problem is that by your definition, ALL natural numbers
    are actually findable, because all of them exist in SOME FISON (and one
    based on the sequence up to a m >= n)

    There is no uppper bound to that set, so all Natural Numbers are findable.


    But there isn't a specific number that is the end.

    There is no such number findable.

    There is no such number.


    That is the problem with your logic.

    That is not a problem with logic. It is only a problem for people who
    cannot think farther than the definable or findable numbers reach. Intellectual inertia.

    It is so easy:
    Every findable number has ℵo successors. ==> Not all can be found.
    All natural numbers have no successors. ==> There are more.

    So, what is your actual definition of a "findable" number?

    How does that definition actually differ IN ITS DEFINITION from the
    definition of the Natural Numbers?

    It seems you just don't like the results you are getting, so are just
    trying to create some mumble words to hand wave away something you don't
    like.

    Of course, part of the problem is you are trying to use logic that

    things you want to try to handle with it.


    Of course the precondition for this theory is that almost all natural
    numbers are dark, only a tiny initial segment contains numbers that can
    be applied individually. The increase of every number mentioned above
    can only be applied collectively.

    Which is a statment that you can not maintain, as there is no upper
    limit to the numbers that can be applied individually.

    Yes, we can only talk about an infinite subset of numbers collectively,
    but every Natural Number is also a member of finite sets where it CAN be
    used individually.

    Some operations can only be done collectively (or only done collectively

    I don't know whether actual infinity is true.

    Being true IN MIND is
    all the Mathematicians want and need.

    That there is a "theory of truth" has two schools:
    "idealists" are "platonists" who
    agree mathematics is discovered,
    "nominalists" are "figurists" who
    each say mathematics is invented.

    Mathematicians might not be the best sources of
    information about what it is mathematicians do.

    I am thinking of novelists talking about
    their characters --
    inventions, if anything is an invention --
    talking as though the novelists struggle with them
    to get the plots to go where they want.
    Which sounds like discovery.

    We could perhaps imagine Platonic Realms of
    St. Mary Mead or Trantor in which
    these characters "really" exist, and in which
    the authors are merely explorers.

    Perhaps mathematicians, like authors, are inventing
    but, because of the way human minds work,
    they find it convenient or productive or whatever
    to think of what they do as exploring.

    Your problem is that N_Def isn't actually a singlely defined set.

    The set of "defined" values *IS* N, not a subset of it,

    You just try to claim that not all natural numbers are definable, but
    you can't actually prove it.

    Your problem is that your logic can't handle the set N, so can't be used
    to prove that something else isn't also N.

    All you have proven is that all finite subsets of N leave ℵo values
    above the set. That doesn't prove that not all elements of N are definable.

    Actually, we don't need such a definition, since the following can be

    AM c ℕ: ∀n ∈ M: ∃^ℵo m ∈ ℕ: m > n.

    Vᵦ₊₁ = 𝒫(Vᵦ)

    It seems advisable that we grant ordinals

    And natural numbers are finite ordinals.

    I think it can be argued that
    ω (sometimes called ℕⁿᵒᵗᐧᵂᴹ) exists

    For ω
    I suggest the definition:
    γ < ω ⟺
    ∀β: 0 < β ≤ γ ⇒
    ∃α: 0 ≤ α < γ ∧ α+1 = β

    I'm pretty sure we can derive induction from that.

    Suppose, though, that
    we don't have sets, but
    we have ordinals.

    Let's prove cisfinite induction.

    Ordinals are well.ordered.
    ∃γ: P(γ) ⟹ ∃β: (P(β) ∧ ¬∃α<β:P(α))

    Define the _finite_ ordinals as
    those which can be stepped.back.from and also
    each ordinal.before can be stepped.back.from,
    except for 0

    I'm abbreviating finiteness as '< ω'
    γ < ω ⟺
    ∀β: 0<β≤γ ⟹ ∃α: (0≤α<β ∧ α+1=β)

    | Assume γ < ω exists such that
    | P(0) ∧ ¬P(γ)
    |
    | There is a first β ≤ γ such that ¬P(β)
    | β ≠ 0
    |
    | β ≤ γ is finite.
    | β can be stepped.back.from to α
    | α+1 = β
    | β is the first such that ¬P(β)
    | ¬(¬P(α))
    |
    | Exists α < ω such that P(α) ∧ ¬P(α+1)

    Therefore,
    if exists γ < ω : P(0) ∧ ¬P(γ)
    then exists α < ω : P(α) ∧ ¬P(α+1)

    That can be re.written as
    P(0) ∧ ∀α<ω: P(α)⇒P(α+1) ⟹ ∀γ<ω: P(γ)

    That is cisfinite induction.

    That makes sense to me.
    Without transfinite set theory,
    what good are transfinite ordinals?
    Transfinite flying rainbow sparkle ponies?

    But I get your idea (I think).

    We may imagine (!)
    infinitely many natural numbers
    independent of set theory:

    This is perhaps a small point:
    I would prefer "We may describe..."

    Our imaginations are too limited for
    the objects of even quite mundane mathematics.
    But we can describe them and reason about them,
    without imagining them.

    1 < 2 < 3 < ...

    Of course, no set IN which
    "contains" these numbers in this case.

    In addition to all these numbers
    we may imagine an additional "number" which
    is larger than all these (natural) numbers:

    1 < 2 < 3 < ... < ω.

    Right?

    Agreed.
    I would say "describe", though.

    I think that the imagine/describe distinction
    gets at the source of WM's troubles.
    WM _imagines_
    a natural number after all natural numbers.

    But imagination is -- _should_ be -- flexible.
    So flexible, we can imagine flying rainbow
    sparkle ponies and largest natural numbers
    _without their existing_

    Descriptions written in ink or pixels
    aren't as flexible as that.

    I think descriptions aren't so user.friendly
    as imaginings. That's my explanation for how
    descriptions, with their great advantage,
    "lose" in the struggle for our attention.

    (Actually, I sometimes didn't like the term
    "infinite ordinal" in this connection.
    My thought was:
    "It's just an additional number." :-P)

    But what is a number?
    Sometimes this, and sometimes that.
    The devil is in the details.

    It means what all experts are knowing, for instance what Cantor explains
    in the first sentence: "In spite of significant difference between the
    notions of the potential and actual infinite, where the former is a
    variable finite magnitude, growing above all limits, the latter a constant quantity fixed in itself but beyond all finite magnitudes, it happens deplorably often that the one is confused with the other." [Cantor, p.
    374]

    You cannot define all natnumbers such that none remains.

    Since ℕ is DEFINED as the set of Natural Numbers, either your term natnumbers is something different,

    It is what Cantor explains above: Potential infinity.

    You just try to claim that not all natural numbers are definable, but
    you can't actually prove it.

    This claim is simply FALSE.

    Hint: {} is a subset of IR, but clearly {} does not "have" a first

    So let's consider the claim: "Every nonempty subset of the real line has

    Now THIS would mean that IR with its usual order is a well-ordered set -
    which is wrong too! :-)

    Hint: "In mathematics, a well-order (or well-ordering or well-order

    every non-empty subset of S has a least element in this ordering."

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-order

    (IR, <) is NOT a well-ordered set.

    WM is just talking nonsense.

    A finite subsection of the real line does have a first element.

    Say, the
    following line [segment] denoted by these two points. See, I defined it:

    p0 = -42+0i
    p1 = 742+0i

    I guess you mean

    p0 = -4
    p1 = 742

    The line from p0 to p1 has a start (p0) and an end (p1).

    Right. But it is NOT a "finite subset" of IR. Actually, [-4, 742] c IR
    is an INFINTE set. :-)

    This is a _finite_ subsection.

    Nope, but the LENGTH of this interval is finite.

    However, in the reals it has _infinite_ points between p0 and p1

    Nope, it has _infinitely many_ points between p0 and p1. :-)

    without it's actual infinities. It's hard because he will fight tooth
    and nail not to talk about WMaths despite claiming that it's "proper
    maths".

    You have to re-phrase things so he can't duck out of the challenge so
    here one could define CUF(X) as the number of unit fractions in the set
    X capped at 10 -- no infinities, potential or otherwise in sight.

    CUF({0}) = 0
    CUF({0, 1/3, 2/3, 1}) = 2
    CUF({1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7, 1/8, 1/9, 1/10, 1/11, 1/12}) = 10

    and then WMUF(x) = CUF([0, x]). Presumably in WMaths

    WMUF(x) = 0 for x e IR, x <= 0 and
    WMUF(x) = 10 for x e IR, x > 0.

    so WM would have to explain how WMUF(x) can get to 10 without being 1
    for some smaller x.

    I suggest this simply because you seem to have some enthusiasm for the

    No infinite or infinitesimal elements implies

    1.

    Note that in Mückenhausen there is a smallest unit fraction. :-P

    Wild! I still wonder why he thinks there is a smallest unit fraction.

    Well, in Mückenland there's a largest natural number too. :-)

    A troll, or does he _really_ believe that nonsense? Humm...

    Yes, that's true,
    how many times has he written something akin to
    "Try to find 'A', fail, therefore dark numbers."

    I try to address the strongest version of
    Mückenheim's argument (bla bla bla HP Grice).

    His argument seems to have been spawned from
    "God exists, because you can't prove He doesn't".
    Still not great, but I don't see any better version.

    An important part of "you can't prove" is that
    WM _refuses to see_ proofs.
    He only makes assertions, and
    he only reads the assertion.part of the proofs
    which are sent his direction.

    I think that a cornerstone of WM's Weltanschauung
    is that _there are no proofs_ (as we mean proof).
    There are only assertions.

    And that is my motivation for beating the drum of
    finite sequences of only not.first.false claims.
    I don't expect to prove WM out of no.proofs.
    But how would you try to argue someone out of
    the belief that elephants don't exist?
    Take them to the zoo. Show them the beasties.
    And, if they cover their eyes, do it again and
    again and again, hoping their hands slip
    or they smell something or hear something
    that has them re.evaluating their belief.

    It seems unlikely to be productive.
    But not impossible.

    | Nasrudin was caught in the act and sentenced to die.

    | To which he replied:
    | "Oh, King, live forever!

    | "Very well then,

    | if the horse isn't singing a year from now,

    I'm pretty confident by now that

    No. Your "therefore" is a quantifier shift.

    There is no shift but merciless logic!
    Your quantifiers cannot be an excuse for not understanding logic.

    Zero unit fractions sit before any x > 0. What prevents this? That can
    only be accomplished by an x without smaller unit fractions.

    Was für eine DOOFE Frage, Mückenheim.

    "What prevents this", ist der Umstand, dass auch jeder Stammbruch eine
    reelle Zahl > 0 ist. Daher kann kein Stammbruch kleiner als _alle_
    reellen Zahlen > 0 sein (denn dazu müsste er kleiner als er selbst sein).

    That can only be accomplished <Hirnrotz>
    "That can be accomplished" by the fact that each and every unit fraction

    Quite correct. But there are many other real numbers.

    "That can be accomplished" by the fact that each and every unit fraction
    is a real number > 0. Hence no unit fraction can be smaller than _each
    and every_ real number > 0.

    0 is the greatest lower bound of unit fractions.

    Disprove this:

    For them NUF(x) = ℵo is wrong.

    For any x > 0

    If you are right, then there is a contradiction, since I am right with

    Hence we have to find a way to satisfy both statements:

    This confirms that there are ℵo real numbers too. ∀x ∈ (0, 1]:

    All ℝ⁺ ends above zero. If you disagree look for an element below

    If a set has no elements below 0, then it ends above 0.

    Preface

    This book contains the collection of my writings on dark numbers most of
    which have been published already here and there in the internet. Although
    I was a strong opponent of Cantor's actual infinity, an internet
    discussion in 2018 [1] has changed my mind in that without actual infinity
    the real axis would have gaps. That is my reason for accepting it and investigating its consequences.

    Whether actually infinite sets exist is unknown and, like the existence of
    God, cannot be proven; it can only be assumed as an axiom. But if actually infinite sets exist then dark elements are unavoidable. Almost all
    elements of infinite sets are dark: They cannot be manipulated as
    individuals but only as sets or collections. That is the essence of this
    book.

    Well-known vanity press

    https://beallslist.net/vanity-press/

    Vanity press is a type of publishing, where authors pay to have
    their work published; either in money or – more often – in the
    author’s publication rights. During the publication process, no
    peer-review is promised by the publisher and no quality control
    is done. Vanity press usually does no editing, and the authors
    are left to do all the formatting and spell-checking by
    themselves. Their works are then published in self-publishing
    outlets, such as on Amazon, and physical copies of their books
    have outrageously high prices. The authors, of course, get no
    income from the sales.

    Vanity press usually targets young academics with no experience,
    that have just finished their degree and produced a thesis.
    Then, such publisher offers publication of their work in a book
    form for free. If however, the author wants to publish their r
    esearch in the form of an academic paper afterwards, they are
    usually not permitted to do so, because of the legal contract
    with the vanity publisher.

    Here we list the known vanity press outlets. Please be cautious
    about sending them any of your articles or theses.

    Your sequences of not.first.false claims leads to
    the result that elements can disappear by exchange.

    Thank you.

    A finite sequence S which holds a false claim
    holds a first.false claim.

    We consider a set B and
    a sequence S of claims about set B
    which, in various ways, we have verified
    are only not.first.false claims.

    One of the claims in S is
    0. B contains an element but not a first.element.

    Here are the options:
    1.
    1.1 B holds an element and a first.element.
    1.2 S holds a false.claim and a first.false.claim.

    Scratch option 1.
    We have verified that 1.2 can't be true.

    2.
    2.1 B holds an element and a first.element.
    2.2 S holds a false.claim but not a first.false.claim.

    I, for one, welcome the scratching of option 2,
    since I do not make infinite sequences of claims.

    However,
    you (WM) should note that
    your "invincible logic" which denies the claim in S
    _should_ force you (invincibly) to deny claim 2.2
    and option 2.
    A false.claim but not a first.false.claim?
    Matheology!

    3.
    3.1 B holds an element but not a first.element.
    3.2 S holds no first.false claim and no false claim.

    Pick any option from {3}
    Conclusion:
    Some sets are infinite.

    You should recognize that this is impossible.
    Therefore,
    if your chain contains only correct conclusions,
    then your start must be wrong.

    Here is the most timid start I know of
    which provides all the matheology which
    you rail against:
    _Empty, Adjunct, eXtensionality_

    E. The empty set ∅ exists.
    A. For sets x and y, adjunct x⨭y = x∪{y} exists.
    X. Two equi.membered sets are equal sets.

    From EAX follows the usual natural.number arithmetic,
    arithmetic which leaves your darkᵂᴹ numbers
    out of the picture entirely.

    0 = ∅
    k⁺¹ = k⨭k = k∪{k}
    j < k ⇔ j ∈ k
    j⁻¹ ∈ k ⇔ ∃i ∈ k: i⁺¹ = j
    ℕ(k) ⇔ 0 ≤ k ∧ ∀j: 0 < j ≤ k ⇒ 0 ≤ j⁻¹ < k

    ℕ(k) does not assert that an infinite set exists.

    ℕ(k) asserts that k is a countable.to natural --
    of which infinitely.many exist, whether
    I assert they exist or I assert they not.exist.

    After more definitions and more not.first.false claims,
    we get to disappearances of Bob and so forth.

    if your chain contains only correct conclusions,
    then your start must be wrong.

    Either one of EAX is wrong
    ⎛ E. The empty set ∅ exists.
    ⎜ A. For sets x and y, adjunct x⨭y = x∪{y} exists.
    ⎝ X. Two equi.membered sets are equal sets.

    or you are wrong.

    So there are no non-positive real numbers

    In context,
    I could see that WM was referring to
    the positive real axis.

    I didn't correct it, but,

    Not all subsets of unit fractions or

    |ℕ⁺\{i≥}| ≥ |ℕ⁺\{i⁺¹≥}|

    I really think that it's not my job
    to choose for Mückenheim what to ignore.
    And maybe the horse will sing.

    And, again, really, a lot of what I post,
    especially in the longer expositions,
    are really more for my own benefit than for his,
    to get straight in my mind how all this works.
    It feels good after time spent staring into the abyss.

    And, less than angelically, again again, really,
    maybe if my exposition is convincing enough,
    Mückenheim will at least _feel bad_
    about posting such crap.
    Do you find a motive of _revenge_ believable?

    {j=<} ⊇ {j<}

    However,
    |{j-1<}| = |{j=<}|

    |{j=<}| = |{j<}| ≠ |{0<}|
    |{0<}| ≠ |{0<}|
    Contradiction.

    Therefore,
    |{0<}| = |{k<}| for k ∈ ℕ⁺


    |{0<}| = |{k<}| for k ∈ ℕ⁺

    {k<} = ℕ⁺\{1,2,3,...,k}

    They are following even upon

    3. Therefore, your/my/our claims about X are wrong.
    4. Therefore, Mückenheim's claims about X are right.

    If you sort it out into psychologically positive or

    WM seems to just 'not get' real numbers.

    There is a mix here of statements
    about actions by agents and
    about descriptions without agents.

    I think that
    the usual practice is to re.state without agents,
    so we've learned to automatically ignore the mix.

    Mückenheim does not ignore the mix.
    He uses the difference between our reading and his
    to sow confusion about what is meant.

    One should be able to discern
    each and every element
    at least enough to decide on membership.

    Yes, but
    what does that mean?

    Is that a constraint on elements or
    a constraint on the agent "one"?

    "One" can't perform a supertask.
    That is the crack through which
    WM's rhetoric enters.

    If we take "one should be able to discern" as
    a constraint on elements
    (whatever "one" does or does not do),
    in line with taking "one should be able to see" as
    a constraint on how some physical object
    interacts with electromagnetic radiation,
    then there is no crack.

    No supertask is needed for
    each nonzero natural number to have
    a definable predecessor.
    There is no "one" in that description.

    I am mostly a skilled programmer that enjoys interesting math, in a

    Same, same. (Actually, I started as a student of physics.)

    Sorry about my highly non conventional ways. I tend to learn

    Well, most of the time.

    I see.

    I can create some hard problems... I can teach myself
    a lot of things. This comes at a price, where its difficult for me to
    consult with people like you, or more of the math types that expect a

    Well, there's a cure for that. :-)

    May I suggest that you try to read

    | A. Tarski, Introduction to Logic and to the Methodology of Deductive
    Sciences

    I'm quite sure that it won't hurt you! :-)

    See: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Alfred-Tarski/dp/048628462X

    I have a lot of experience in programming and math, but parts of it are highly unconventional. Strange notation and such. Ahhh, the programmer
    side in me.

    Sure. Our aim is to make things work, I know. :-P

    I only started out with fractals around early 2013. So, not that long
    ago! I was a hard core multi thread sync guy before that.

    I guess you mean some sort of ""reduction"" (or "filtering").

    Actually, I've never heard about this (in a math context).

    Let's call this operation "nat".

    Then

         nat [.5, 1, 1.5, 2, ...] = [1, 2, ...] .

    And, say,

         nat [.5, 2, 1.5, 7, ...] = [2, 7, ...] .

    14/2 is seven, a natural? Filtering out all of the non-natural numbers 7
    is in there as 14/2?

    Exactly.

    Hier wird gezeigt, dass natürliche Zahlen ohne followers manipulierbar
    sind.

    Hinweis: ℕ = {1, 2, 3, ...}. Daher ist ℕ \ {1, 2, 3, ...} = ℕ \ ℕ = { }.#

    Hätten alle natürlichen Zahlen followers, so würden diese bei der Subtraktion der natürlichen Zahlen zurückbleiben, also nicht subtrahiert werden, denn es werden hier nur die natürlichen Zahlen subtrahiert, nicht
    die followers..

    Nochmal die Behauptung (von Jim) ist, dass jedes Element in ℕ (also jede der natürlichen Zahlen 1, 2, 3, ...) ℵ₀ Nachfolger besitzt.

    Die müssten übrig bleiben, wenn nur alle die natürlichen Zahlen
    subtrahiert werden.

    In der Tat gilt für alle n e ℕ: card(ℕ \ {1, 2, .., n}) = ℵ₀.

    Man subtrahiere alle n e ℕ. Da bleibt nichts übrig. Subtrahiert man nur solche mit endlichem Anfangsabschnitt, so bleiben ℵ₀ followers übrig.
    Das sollte doch auch dem schwächsten Denker zeigen, dass da ein großer Unterschied besteht.

    Was of great help for me many years ago.

    :^) Thanks Man. :^)

    N/p.

    Hint: This book is a classic.

    Amazon: "First published in Polish in 1936, this classic work was
    originally written as a popular scientific book & one that would present
    to the educated lay reader a clear picture of certain powerful trends of thought in modern logic. According to the author, these trends sought to
    create a unified conceptual apparatus as a common basis for the whole of
    human knowledge.
    Because these new developments in logical thought tended to perfect and
    sharpen the deductive method, an indispensable tool in many fields for
    deriving conclusions from accepted assumptions, the author decided to
    widen the scope of the work. In subsequent editions he revised the book
    to make it also a text on which to base an elementary college course in
    logic and the methodology of deductive sciences. It is this revised
    edition that is reprinted here.
    Part One deals with elements of logic and the deductive method,
    including the use of variables, sentential calculus, theory of identity,
    theory of classes, theory of relations and the deductive method. The
    Second Part covers applications of logic and methodology in constructing mathematical theories, including laws of order for numbers, laws of
    addition and subtraction, methodological considerations on the
    constructed theory, foundations of arithmetic of real numbers, and more.
    The author has provided numerous exercises to help students assimilate
    the material, which not only provides a stimulating and
    thought-provoking introduction to the fundamentals of logical thought,
    but is the perfect adjunct to courses in logic and the foundation of mathematics."

    But Growers' "I.2 The Language and Grammar of Mathematics" is nice (a
    good read) too.

    No. Every natural number that you can choose has ℵ₀ followers.

    Whatever, Mückenheim.

    Meine Antwort war in der Tat etwas länger:

    ---------------------

    Hinweis: ℕ = {1, 2, 3, ...}. Daher ist ℕ \ {1, 2, 3, ...} = ℕ \ ℕ = { }.
    Bekanntlich enthält { } keine Elemente, daher ist die Frage nach iw.
    Nachfolgern in { } unsinnig. Andererseits gilt natürlich das jede
    natürliche Zahl in { } ℵ₀ Nachfolger besitzt. 🙂

    Nochmal: Meine Behauptung ist, dass jedes Element in ℕ (also jede der
    natürlichen Zahlen 1, 2, 3, ...) ℵ₀ 'Nachfolger' besitzt.

    In der Tat gilt für alle n e ℕ: card(ℕ \ {1, 2, .., n}) = ℵ₀.

    Mit anderen Worten: Für alle n e ℕ: card({n+1, n+2, n+3, ...}) = ℵ₀.

    bzw. in der formalen Sprache der ZFC:

    An e ℕ: card({m e IN : m > n}) = ℵ₀.

    "Jedes Element in ℕ besitzt ℵ₀ 'Nachfolger'."
    "Zu jedem n in ℕ gibt es ℵ₀ Elemente in ℕ, die größer als n sind"

    There are infinitely many dark natural numbers, aka, we have not seen

    There is no natural number after (≥)

    ℕ is the minimal inductive meta.set.

    ∀ᴺx ∃ᴺy≠x: x<y ⇔

    That means:

    then no successors remain.

    If every number is deleted,
    then every number is deleted.

    If only definable numbersa are
    subtracted, then successors remain.

    Only if some natural number is undefinable.

    If any natural number is undefinable, then
    the first undefinable has a definable predecessor.

    No undefinable has a definable predecessor.

    No natural number is undefinable.

    After all definables are deleted from ℕ
    no successors (no anything) remain in ℕ

    ℕ is the minimal inductive meta.set.

    ℕ is all natural numbers.
    Not more and not less.

    Proposal 1.

    Definitions are only
    statements of _what the definer means_

    Without evidence to the contrary,
    the definer is presumed to be
    honest and aware of what they mean, and
    definitions are presumed to be
    true statements of what they mean.

    On questions beyond what the definer means,
    their definitions do not receive
    a presumption of truth,
    but they remain free to argue their POV.


    By 'ℕ' I mean the minimal inductive meta.set.

    If we condider, say, a set {1, 2, 3, ...} and, say, {0, 1, 2, 3, ...},
    then clearly {1, 2, 3, ...} and 0, 1, 2, 3, ...} are not idenical. After

    a = b -> AP(P(a) <-> P(b))

    and hence (in the context of set theory):

    a = b -> Ax(x e a <-> x e b).
    Hence:
    ~Ax(x e a <-> x e b) -> a =/= b

    and hence especially:

    ~Ax(x e {1, 2, 3, ...} <-> x e {0, 1, 2, 3, ...}) -> a =/= b.

    I other words, two sets a, b are either identical or different, no

    There is one (think of the first unit fraction) but as it is and

    I thought there were infinitely many dark natural numbers? If so, how

    You told me that there are indeed infinitely many dark natural numbers, right?

    Yes. You cannot get to the end because dark numbers have no discernible

    Fact is: If we assume the existence of ω at the ordinal line, then

    Yes. Obviously most are undefinable.

    If any natural number is undefinable, then
    the first undefinable has a definable predecessor.

    That is your error. The definable numbers are definable and have definable successors. You will never get into the dark numbers by counting or
    defining.

    No undefinable has a definable predecessor.

    Right.

    No natural number is undefinable.

    Wrong. For the difference between definable and dark numbers see above:
    All definable numbers have ℵo successors. All dark numbers have no successors. Otherwise you could not delete all numbers.

    After all definables are deleted from ℕ
    no successors (no anything) remain in ℕ

    Wrong. Easy to falsify: Delete any definable that has no successors
    remaining. Fail.

    By 'ℕ' I mean the minimal inductive meta.set.

    That is the set that contains all definables. There is none without ℵo
    dark successors.

    Yeah, if IN is defined due to von Neumann, we actually have that An e

    I have placed proposal 2 (sets: E A X) and
    proposal 3 (meta.sets: E A X C MX) before you.
    They have different consequences.

    | Proposal 2, sets.
    |
    | (E) The empty set exists.
    | ¬∃₂x ∈ ∅
    |
    | (A) For existing x,y, adjunct x∪{y} exists.
    | ∀₂x,y: ∃₂z=x∪{y}
    |
    | (X) Two equi.membered sets are
    | the same set.
    | ∀₂x,y: ∀₂u:u∈x⇔u∈y ⇒ x=y

    | Proposal 3, meta.sets.
    |
    | (C) If, for predicate.on.sets P(x):
    | for each set x: P(x) xor ¬P(x)
    | then meta.set {y:P(y)} exists
    | ∀₂x: P(x) ⊻ ¬P(x) ⇒ ∃₃Z={y:P(y)}
    |
    | (MX) Two equi.membered meta.sets are
    | the same meta.set.
    | ∀₃X,Y: ∀₂u:u∈X⇔u∈Y ⇒ X=Y

    Under proposal 2,
    each natural number (finite von Neumann ordinal)
    has a finite sequence of adjunctions
    which proves that it exists.
    ∃₂z=x∪{y}

    Under proposal 3,
    the meta.set ℕ of all and only natural numbers
    has a description P(y) of a natural number
    which proves that ℕ exists.
    ∃₃Z={y:P(y)}

    If every number is subtracted,
    then no successors remain.
    If only definable numbers are subtracted,
    then successors remain.

    If each finite von Neumann ordinal
    is deleted from
    the set of finite von Neumann ordinals,
    nothing is left in the result.

    We finite beings cannot perform a supertask,
    which is what it takes to count all
    finite von Neumann ordinals.

    However,
    it is not a supertask to describe them with P(y)
    and explore their properties by
    making finite claim.sequences which are
    only not.first.false.

    That is a distinction which we make
    infinitely.prior to dealing with ℕ
    "In principal" we can count to Avogadroᴬᵛᵒᵍᵃᵈʳᵒ,
    but we know very well we can't,
    not in our 13.7 Gyo universe.
    The tiny.ness of our universe doesn't stop us from
    reasoning about all the numbers which we would count,
    if we could.

    In this tiny universe, we reason
    about numbers bigger than we can count to
    and about infinite sets
    with tiny.length claims and
    tiny.length sequences of claims.

    We don't need to count to Avogadroᴬᵛᵒᵍᵃᵈʳᵒ

    ℕ is the minimal inductive meta.set.

    ℕ is all natural numbers.

    Proposal 1.

    Without evidence to the contrary,
    the definer is presumed to be

    I have placed proposal 2 (sets: E A X) and

    They have different consequences.

    We have the facts above. Your proposals don't change them and don't

    If each finite von Neumann ordinal
    is deleted from
    the set of finite von Neumann ordinals,
    nothing is left in the result.

    That proves that not each one has successors. Otherwise the successors
    would remain undeleted.

    We finite beings cannot perform a supertask,
    which is what it takes to count all
    finite von Neumann ordinals.

    But if all could be deleted without remainder and if all were definable,
    then you finite being JB could define one ordinal with no successors.

    However,
    it is not a supertask

    That would not be a supertask either.

    All FISONs or v. Neumann ordinals are finite.

    Theorem More than finitely many finite initial segments cannot be
    merged.

    Proof: This is caused by the pigeonhole principle and the definition
    "finite initial segment". If each of the first n positive integers has a
    unary representation in form of a string, like ooooo, that is shorter than
    n then, by the pigeonhole principle, there must be two different positive integers defined by the same unary representation. Clearly this is absurd.

    Same holds in case of ℵo finite strings. ℵo is a fixed quantity such
    that ∀n ∈ ℕ: n < ℵo. If each one of all ℵo positive integers has
    a unary representation in form of a string that is shorter than ℵo then,
    by the pigeonhole principle, there must be two different positive integers defined by the same unary representation. Clearly this is absurd too.

    Same holds for finite initial segments. Since the order of numbers in {1,
    2, 3, 4, 5} does not matter, it has the same information content as a
    unary representation like ooooo.

    Yes.

    D. h. (für jede natürliche Zahl n > 0:) die natürliche Zahl n ist durch die FISON {0, ..., n-1} mit 0 "verbunden". (Sonderfall n = 0, da ist die FISON {}.)

    Also:

    So, nein, there are NO natural numbers after all "definable" natural
    numbers (since ALL natural numbers are "definable").

    Bzw.: There are NO natural numbers after (≥) all finite ordinals.

    Maybe a _mathematical_ proof is helpful here.

    An e IN: card({m e IN : m > n}) = ℵo (*)

    Theorem: IN \ {n e IN : card({m e IN : m > n}) = ℵo)} = { }
    "If only numbers having ℵo numbers as successors are removed then
    nothing remains."

    Proof: Since IN \ IN = { } all we have to show is that {n e IN : card({m
    e IN : m > n}) = ℵo)} = IN. But this follows immediately from (*).
    After all, for all n, if n e IN then card({m e IN : m > n}) = ℵo (from
    (*)), hence n in {n e IN : card({m e IN : m > n}) = ℵo)}. And
    (trivially) if n in {n e IN : card({m e IN : m > n}) = ℵo)} then n in IN
    (by definition of {n e IN : card({m e IN : m > n}) = ℵo)}). Hence IN c
    {n e IN : card({m e IN : m > n}) = ℵo)} and {n e IN : card({m e IN : m >

    Erst mal muss man den Begriff "successor" einer natürlichen Zahl
    definieren, bevor man den Begriff verwenden kann.

    Bekannt ist die die Definition des "(unmittelbaren) Nachfolgers" einer natürlichen Zahl, also:

    Es hat dann aber eine natürliche Zahl nur genau einen (unmittelbaren) Nachfolger.

    Zweifellos schwebt Dir für Deine "successors" etwas anderes vor. Nach üblichem Verständnis des Begriffs würde man wohl definieren:

    m ist ein Nachfolger von n :<-> m e IN & m > n.

    Es interessieren hier ja erst mal nur die "Nachfolger einer natürlichen
    Zahl" in IN (die also selbst wieder natürliche Zahlen sind).

    Nun hat jede Zahl in IN unendlich viele Nachfolger (in IN). Wenn mal
    also eine Teilmenge von IN betrachtet, die keine natürlichen Zahlen
    enthält, die unendlich viele Nachfolger (in IN) besitzen, dann ist diese Teilmenge leer.

    Das ist geschehen: If only numbers having ℵo successors are removed and

    But all numbers including those having less successors can be removed.

    Both seem okay to me, as in I can understand both of them.

    Both are ok in there typical contexts, I'd say.

    There's another form in math, here f is considered a "function":

    f(0) = 0
    f(n+1) = f(n) + 1

    (Actually, a[n infinite] sequence is just a function with domain IN.)

    There are two Great Families of programming languages,
    imperative languages and declarative languages.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declarative_programming

    | Many languages that apply this [declarative] style
    | attempt to minimize or eliminate side effects by
    | describing what the program must accomplish in terms of
    | the problem domain, rather than describing how to
    | accomplish it as a sequence of the programming language
    | primitives (the how being left up to the language's
    | implementation). This is in contrast with imperative
    | programming, which implements algorithms in
    | explicit steps.
    |
    | Declarative programming often considers programs as
    | theories of a formal logic, and computations as
    | deductions in that logic space.

    You seem to have there a little imperative programming
    and a little declarative programming.

    Personally, I find I need to _think differently_ when
    I move from one to the other, more than _changing gears_
    closer to _removing one engine and installing another_

    I speculate that WM doesn't do declarative programming,
    at all.


    Being able to talk about _finite sequences_
    allows us to define recursively, which allows us
    quite a lot.

    Define r[n] as the end of finite sequence SEQ
    ⟨ r[0] r[1] r[2] r[3] ... r[n] ⟩
    such that
    SEQ begins with 0 and
    for each split F SEQ\F of ⟨ r[0] ... r[n] ⟩
    exist i end if foresplit F and
    j start of hindsplit SEQ\F
    such that i+1 = j

    In general, for
    r(0,x) = f(x)
    r(n+1,x) = g(n,r(n,x),x)

    r(n,x) = y ⇔
    ∃SEQ:

    To put it in simple words:

    We ask
    what can we say (or not.say) about a and b
    if they are (or are.not) the same?

    In my opinion, that answer supersedes
    a lot of interesting philosophy about
    being really the same.

    Standardly, we can say a=a and b=b and,
    whatever one can say about a, one can say about b

    "What can we say?" squeezes our idea of "the same"
    into a shape well.adapted for
    finite not.first.false.only claim.sequences,
    our method by which we explore infinity.
    (I've beaten this drum before.)

    So _different_ unit fractions
    CAN'T BE "at the same coordinate"
    (i.e. equal to the same real number).

    Yes.
    However, WM gives 'fraction' and 'rational'
    different meanings.
    1/2 2/4 3/6 4/8 ...
    are all different _fractions_ corresponding to
    the same _rational_ at the same point.

    _As rationals_
    whatever we can say about 1/2
    we can say about 2/4
    Conventionally. By definition.

    _As fractions_
    in Cantor's sequence,
    the index of 1/2 is 2
    the index of 2/4 is 12
    We can say different things.

    In regard to _what the definer means_

    We can define _flying rainbow sparkle pony_

    And it is thereby defined.

    Does a flying rainbow sparkle pony _exist_ ?
    If it does exist, _it's not by definition_
    Defining things _to exist_ is silly.

    A FRSP exists or doesn't exist.

    If an FRSP exists, hooray, it satisfies

    If a FRSP _doesn't_ exist, then
    everything is true of a non.existing thing:
    it doesn't exist, it exists, it flies,
    it doesn't fly, whatever.
    So, not.existing.FRSP _still_ satisfies

    Defining a FRSP to exist says nothing
    about it existing or not.

    It's the same lame trick as defining God as
    a being with all good properties, and defining
    existence as a good property. It would be bizaare
    if God could be poofed into existence like that.

    It would be as bizarre for darkᵂᴹ numbers.

    Then I think of where:

    a = b = 1

    Then, think of b being the complex number:

    a = b = 1

    but a is unit fractions and b is a complex number.

    They are equal as in able to be plotted in the same place on the real
    line [in the coplex plane], but use different means to get to the same number?

    Fair enough?

    Yeah. As we say, the unit fractions are "embedded" (in a certain sense,
    don't ask) in the rational numbers, the rational numbers are "embedded"
    in the real numbers and the real numbers are "embedded" in the complex
    numbers.

    After this "embedding" the statement

    {1/n : n e IN} c Q c IR c C

    can be considered "literally true".

    For example, then the number x e IR

    such that for all numbers x' e IR: x*x' = x'

    is actually identical with the number z e C

    such that for all numbers z' e C: z*z' = z'.

    So (then) there's no difference between the 1 e IR and the 1+0i e C.

    Makes things simpler. :-P

    whose imaginary part is 0."

    Not every single time, but very, very often,

    _How_ do we say that? One answer is EQ1 and EQ2.

    a = 5 elephants
    b = 5 cats
    a = b?

    In the physical sciences,
    the wrong units of measurement turn something
    into flaming nonsense.
    How many stone.barns.per.fortnight does it take
    to turn this light bulb on?

    So, I would say
    5 elephants ≠ 5 cats

    5 mammals = 5 mammals

    Since from every FISON F(n) = {1, 2, 3, ..., n} we know by definition that
    it is neither sufficient nor necessary to make the union of FISONs ℕ, we
    can remove it from the union and find

    Among the FISONs of ℕ there is not, in any enumeration, a first one that

    Usually this is apologized by the fact, that even in

    {1, 2} ∪ {2, 3} ∪ {3, 1} = {1, 2, 3} (*)

    it is impossible to find a first set which cannot be omitted from the
    union to yield {1, 2, 3}. But this argument fails. It is not a set of sets which is subject to Cantor's theorem B (every embodiment of different

    That is true.

    Thank you.

    Also,
    ⋃{⟨0…n⟩} is inductive.
    ( ⋃{⟨0…n⟩} )ᴬ⤾⁺¹₀

    As it is with all inductive sets,
    inductive FISON.union ⋃{⟨0…n⟩} is a superset of
    the minimal inductive ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀}
    ⋃{⟨0…n⟩} ⊇ ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀}

    Each nonempty ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀}.subset is
    a nonempty ⋃{⟨0…n⟩}.subset
    Being a nonempty ⋃{⟨0…n⟩}.subset, it holds a first element.
    Thus, _also_
    for subsets of the minimal inductive ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀}
    only the empty set does not hold a first element.

    And also the minimal inductive is inductive.
    ( ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀} )ᴬ⤾⁺¹₀

    tl;dr
    ⋃{⟨0…n⟩} and ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀} are
    both inductive and both well.ordered.

    ----
    From that, it follows that
    ⋃{⟨0…n⟩} = ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀}

    Consider:
    There is NO FIRST in ⋃{⟨0…n⟩} not.in ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀}
    because ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀} is inductive, so
    there is NO j ∉ ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀} ∧ j⁻¹ ∈ ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀}

    There is NO FIRST in ⋃{⟨0…n⟩} not.in ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀}
    There is NONE in ⋃{⟨0…n⟩} not.in ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀}

    By a similar argument,
    there is NO FIRST in ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀} not.in ⋃{⟨0…n⟩}
    There is NONE in ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀} not.in ⋃{⟨0…n⟩}

    ∀j: j ∈ ⋃{⟨0…n⟩} ⇔ j ∈ ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀}
    ⋃{⟨0…n⟩} = ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀}

    ----
    {0<} the 0.followers in ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀} are ℵ₀.many.

    There is NO FIRST jₓ in ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀} which has
    fewer.than.ℵ₀.many jₓ.followers {jₓ<} in ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀}
    because
    sⱼₓ(i) = i⁺¹
    Sⱼₓ:{jₓ⁻¹<}⇉{jₓ<}: 1.to.1
    |jₓ⁻¹<| ≤ |jₓ<|

    idⱼₓ(i) = i
    idⱼₓ:{jₓ<}⇉{jₓ⁻¹<}: 1.to.1
    |jₓ<| ≤ |jₓ⁻¹<|

    |jₓ⁻¹<| = |jₓ<|

    But, for FIRST jₓ in ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀}
    |jₓ<| < ℵ₀
    |jₓ⁻¹<| = ℵ₀
    |jₓ⁻¹<| ≠ |jₓ<|
    Contradiction.

    There is NO FIRST jₓ in ⋂{Xᴬ⤾⁺¹₀} and

    Imagine the simplest sort of argument that
    deduction immediately solves, yet induction
    never does.
    "Not ultimately untrue."

    You and I only appear to be communicating.
    What I know, as induction,
    either transfinite or cisfinite,
    in a mathematical context, _is_ deduction.

    If you reject that, then remember that
    the usual Axiom of Infinity isn't just
    naming the second constant of ZF after
    the empty set: it's also a restriction
    of comprehension because naive comprehension
    makes it extra-ordinary.

    Here's what I think I know.

    Unrestricted comprehension says
    {y:P(y)} exists.
    I avoid self.contradicting sets by
    calling them meta.sets, and
    having only sets in meta.sets.
    (or maybe it's plural quantification).

    ZFC replaces unrestricted comprehension with
    specification, {x e A: P(x)} exists and
    replacement, {f(x): x e A} exists,
    where A exists.

    I see that unrestricted comprehension makes
    the axiom of infinity redundant.
    I don't think of that as it being part of
    unrestricted comprehension, but it's not hard
    to find disagreements I consider more important.

    According to Cantor's theorem B

    According to proposal 3 == "∅, x∪{y}, {y:P(x)} exist"

    A set of necessary FISONs to be unioned as ℕ does not exist.

    Removing a single FISON not.changes the union.
    Removing all FISONs is not removing a single FISON
    and changes the union.

    What FISON is the first that must not be removed?

    Therefore we have: UF(n) = ℕ ⟹ U{ } = ℕ.

    Do you (WM) have a math.like reason?

    You are unfortunately unable to comprehend what you dislike: It is
    Cantor's Theorem B: Every existing set of ordinals has a first or smallest element. The set of FISONs necessary to yield ℕ would be a set of
    ordinals. It is well defined. For every FISON we can determine whether it
    is necessary.
