BUT there's no singleton such that each and every n e IN is in it.
My theorem: Every union of FISONs which stay below a certain threshold stays below that threshold.
The threshold is finite.
{ 1 }, { 1, 2 }, { 1, 2, 3 }, ...
threshold = 3
{ 1 }, { 1, 2 }, { 1, 2 (3) }, three is invalid so:
{ 1 }, { 1, 2 }
// combining things and removing duplicates
{ 1, 2 }
This is finite thinking.
Find a counterexample. Don't claim it but prove it. Fail.
