Formulas determine sequences.
The other way round is not possible.

Then there are more formulas than there are formulas.
Of course. All constructed finite formulas belong to a potentially infinite collection.
.6 is finite
.66 is finite
.666 is finite
.(6) is infinite

So, there is a point there.
So, there is a formula there.
But there isn't an indexed.formula there.
So, all the indexed.formulas
(finite strings, finite alphabet)
aren't all the formulas.
Somehow.
Yes. There is no absolute "all" in potential infinity.
