If there are an infinite number of natural numbers, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two natural numbers, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two of those fractions, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two of those fractions, and an infinite number of fractions in between any two of those fractions, and... then that must mean that there are not only infinite infinities, but an infinite number of those infinities. and an infinite number of those infinities. and an infinite number of those infinities. and an infinite number of those infinities, and... (infinitely times. and that infinitely times. and that infinitely times. and that infinitely times. and that infinitely times. and...) continues forever. and that continues forever. and that continues forever. and that continues forever. and that continues forever. and.....(…)…

So prove it, show me the infinitest natural number.

>>16924919
countable infinity means
1) you can enumerate what you are counting and
2) you can count an arbitrary number of them (i.e. name a number and i can name another that hasn't been enumerated yet)
>>
>>16924928
>countable
Doesn't appear anywhere in the thread until you brought it up, OP didn't say it was countable, he said there was an infinite number.

>an arbitrary number of them
OP wasn't considering an arbitrary number of naturals, he was posing a hypothetical infinite number of them.

>name a number and i can name another that hasn't been enumerated yet
Then you have refuted OP since there is not an infinite number of naturals, there is an arbitrary large number that never actually reaches an infinity and you can't actually enumerate some of them since the length would exceed the character limit and eventually outnumber your own neurons such that you couldn't possibly rattle off the next number just like an x-bit computer that reaches it rollover limit.

would you feel better if numbers just end at some arbitrary point?
>>
>>16924959
They basically do if you are using radial circular logic of degree where 2*x*pi can just be simplified as 0.
>>
>>16924964
>they just do if you heap on my irrelevant assumptions
>>
>>16925139
The only assumption is the axiom of radial circular logic where 2*x*pi can just be simplified as 0 since 2*pi is the period of a circle, its how the math works, not some kind of additional assumption, but true by definition.
>>
>>16926215
yes, and that is totally irrelevant and out of the blue.
>>
>>16924930
>Doesn't appear anywhere in the thread until you brought it up
yeah, maybe OP was talking about some other, uncountable set of rationals. one can never be sure.
>>
>>16926216
No, someone asked about if numbers could just end and in radial logic, they do end and reset every 2*pi back to 0, you just don't understand the topic so you don't understand how it applies to the conversation.

>radial circular logic
mh, i think you should ease on the grok, pal
>>
>>16926224
I think you should just study the unit circle so you actually understand the topic of conversation.
>>
>>16926216
>>16926224
You prefer 0-360 degrees instead since pi is irrational or something?
>>
half A press
>>
>>16926230
OP is about natural numbers and fractions. anyone bringing in anything else is a pathetic failure thinking that baby's first not-quite-trivial group will impress other people.
>>
>>16926391
0-360 are all natural numbers that represent the fraction of traversal around the circumference of a circle, the only pathetic thing is your nonexistence understanding of the unit circle and radial logic that lead you to be completely flummoxed by the fact that radial logic doesn't necessitate unlimited linear growth since it resets back to the origin orientation every 360 degrees.
>>
there's only one true infinity, and everything else is merely reflecting its properties. every time you go "infinite infinities" it's just "reflection of reflections".
>>
>>16927780
>there's only one true infinity
So infinity is just the absolute value of 1 which is why 1 actually equals .999...?
