in which axiom system?

Any which allow """Archimedean property""" of real set.

Pardon my pea brain but by what grounds are finitism and its case made? Is it posited axiomatically or observed in the sense of mathematical realism?

Finitism means you can't use shortcuts, like the axiom of excluded middle, being forced to prove everything the hard way. In general, finitist mathematics is order of magnitude harder and proofs require more steps. For example, take a look at Wildberger's lectures, where he proves high school stuff without using irrational numbers, carefully avoiding introducing expressions such as sqrt(2).

Thank you for the clarification. I will investigate this further. Any reading recommendations on the topic?

I would recommend starting from Godel's incompleteness theorem and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presburger_arithmetic

I actually am aware of gödels work, which is why this surprised me and seemed intuitive.

What is wrong with that statement? I can't really consider countably infinite sets equal to uncountably infinite sets.

If you have to introduce such concepts and make such distinctions, then you have serious architectural problems. It is like these getter and setter methods in Java, which you wont find in a proper programming language.

infinity is a constant bro

every transcedental number and every interval bas an infinity embedded in it. there can be more of them of course; hence infinity implements addition.

I remember you, you're an annoying fucking asshole. Why would you even post here again? Don't bother replying, this is the only acknowledgement you get from me.

Thank you. >>17 is self-explanatory. >>18 is a random copy+paste from some other place, probably 4Chan, and pasted here to generate drama.
