The case is that induction goes through,
an inviolable law you call it:
does it go all the way through?
Does it complete?
It is complete.
There is no completing.activity,
so I wouldn't say it completes.
Compare to right triangles:
Are all the squares of two shorter sides
summed to the square of the longest side?
That's a tricky question to answer because
there is no summing done.
That relationship between the sides
is simply something true about right triangles.
And it is complete == it is true for each.
We don't typically ask the tricky question
about right triangles.
We ask the tricky question about cisfinite induction
because we imagine it as a process,
which we don't for right triangles.
Cisfinite induction is NOT a process.
Cisfinite induction is an argument,
completely correct or completely incorrect.
See, the contrary inductive analyst just says
"in case you don't have a deductive argument why
something is so, induction is so much shifting-sands
and slippery-slope." He just has "the base case is
you haven't completed induction, and so is the
subsequent case, case closed: case not closed".
When the argument is completed,
induction is completed.

There is something completely different
which is also called induction.
The completely.different induction is physics.
Physics.induction is not unbreakable.
Physics.induction isn't cisfinite or transfinite induction.
