So it has become obvious now, that is not possible to define "all
paths" by nodes. Only the finite paths can be defined by their nodes.
How can you define all paths if not by nodes?

The contradiction is that an undefinable path cannot be put into any
order or well-order.

Again: A real number is a quantity and must be in trichotomy with all
other reals. An undefinable number can neither be in trichotomy nor
can it be pit into a well-ordering. It simply is not a number. Butr
Cantor's ideas are too nice to be given up when faced with reality of
real numbers.
It is a shame that someone defends the concept of "undefinable
number", unthinkable thought, anusable use, - and nevertheless claims
to be a logican and mathematician!
