Missing in your definition is the operation has to produce all numbers that you are counting over.
If you are counting something, you don't leave out elements.
- nico 4y agoIf you are counting a set that is larger than your count, you will always leave elements out. The only way you won’t leave elements out for an infinite set is if you keep counting forever.
- cscurmudgeon 4y ago"If you are counting a set that is larger than your count" What does that mean?
- nico 4y agoIf you want to count 4 natural numbers, your count is going to be 4, but the set of natural numbers is infinite. The set is larger than the count.
