Yes you need some external "knowledge" or better say trust in
matheology.

That is correct in every case. The reason could be that N does not
exist as something completed.

I am fairly sure that I can surject a FISON on that sequence that you
may have produced today, even if you have started very early.

So the complete infinite paths must extend beyond every finit path in
the tree? And if the tree contains only all finite paths, then we have
something like the bed of Procrustes. What shall we do? Cut the tails
that are too long? I would be glad to do so, but I have never seen
any. Perhaps it is only an apparition of matheology if you see such
tails?
