on 3/18/2025, WM supposed :
The set is ordered and if it is actually infinite, then all its
elements are there and do not appear from nothing but then it has a
greatest element.
Nope, it is a limit ordinal.
All elements of ℕ are there. That is the assumption. If no greatest can
be identified, then the reason are dark numbers.
No, the reason is that there is no greatest element. "Dark numbers" do
not exist, as has been proven in this thread.
Otherwise only potential infinity could solve the dilemma.
There is no dilemma here.
"Potential infinity" doesn't exist in modern mathematics. It was a
blind alley the pioneers of set theory drove up. "Potential infinity"
isn't a useful concept and isn't needed in mathematics.
