The "ubiquitous ordinals", sort of recalls Kronecker's

I think Kronecker's integers are the finite ordinals.
Are you saying that 'ubiquitous' means 'finite'?

So, "ubiquitous ordinals" is exactly what it says.

Or, you know, "infinity plus one".

Consider the definition of a finite.cardinal as
the cardinal #A of a set A
smaller.by.one than sets fuller.by.one
#A ∈ ⟦0,ℵ₀⦆  :⇔  (#A < #(A∪{a}) ⇐ A ≠ A∪{a})

If,
as might be expected,
infinity.plus.one is different from simple.infinity,
then,
under that definition,
infinity is finite.

Yeah, I know, you don't have a universe in your theory,
as you say that there's no meta-theory your theory,
yet, what's that then, all one theory?

Well good luck then, this is one of the examples of

I'd so hope to be helpful, it's categorized
under virtue somewhere between thrifty and
reverent or reverent and clean, so I'd wonder,
is it, "un-helpful", in, "can't think it", or,
"keep thinking it", or, "keeps rebooting".
