My Beautiful Proof Lies All In Ruins.

Every Transfinite Consistent Multiplicity, That Is, Every Transfinite Set, Must Have A Definite Aleph As Its Cardinal Number.

The Actual Infinite Arises In Three Contexts: First When It Is Realized In The Most Complete Form, In A Fully Independent Otherworldly Being, In Deo, Where I Call It The Absolute Infinite Or Simply Absolute; Second When It Occurs In The Contingent, Created World; Third When The Mind Grasps It In Abstracto As A Mathematical Magnitude, Number Or Order Type.

The Transfinite Numbers Are In A Sense The New Irrationalities [ ... They] Stand Or Fall With The Finite Irrational Numbers.

The Old And Oft-repeated Proposition "totum Est Majus Sua Parte" [the Whole Is Larger Than The Part] May Be Applied Without Proof Only In The Case Of Entities That Are Based Upon Whole And Part; Then And Only Then Is It An Undeniable Consequence Of The Concepts "totum" And "pars". Unfortunately, However, This "axiom" Is Used Innumerably Often Without Any Basis And In Neglect Of The Necessary Distinction Between "reality" And "quantity", On The One Hand, And "number" And "set", On The Other, Precisely In The Sense In Which It Is Generally False.

Great Innovation Only Happens When People Aren't Afraid To Do Things Differently.
