Examples

“An interesting and perhaps essential formal model⟳ of this quality is to be found in Cantor's concepts of infinite sets and transfinite cardinals. The laws of ordinary, inductive mathematics do not apply⟳ to these, for the 'least part' of such transfinites are equal to the whole, and convey their infinite (i.e. world-like) quality.”
