Let a potentially infinite set X be
p-unlistable if
L is a potentially infinite
list of x's implies that L
does not have the property
that every (in the sense of
"all from 1 to n") x is a row of L
A potentially infinite set Y is
p-listable if it is not p-unlistable.
We can divide the collection of
potentially infinite sets into three
a: p-unlistable potentially infinite
sets
b: p-listable potentially infinite
sets
c: potentially infinite sets that cannot
be shown to be p-listable or p-unlistable
An example of a: is the potentially infinite
set of all 0/1 sequences.
An example of b: is the potentially infinite
set of natural numbers.
We do not have an example of c: (there may
not be one).
