Create an infinity? What does that mean? Why would you need to do that?

Is there a limit to how many times something can be logically divided? If not, then there’s your infinity. It doesn’t require you to continue brute forcing it, just reason about it.

Maybe? Can you prove there's no limit? The default proof by induction requires postulate of infinity. (this statement is potentially incorrect, but takes across the point)
