A potentially infinite list does not contain every whatever in the
sense of all. Because a list that in contains all whatevers is actual
with respect to these whatevers.
But of course the list contains every sequence that is a line between
1 and n (including the limits) and therefore contains all these
sequences.
These two meanings have to be distuingusihed carefully. Example: A
potentially infinite set of natural numbers does not contain all
natural numbers. Otherwise it would be an actually infinite set, namel
|N.
