Potential infiniteness does not occur in the world of TERTIUM NON DATUR.
In such a world, a set either does or does not have an injection to a proper subset. as in such TERTIUM NON DATUR worlds as ZF, > > 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.

Then it is not a set at all, at least unless one can tell which naturals are members and which are not.

The name |N can refer to an actual set because the membership is determinate rather than indeterminate. --
