Do you miss one of them in all lines of the list? Or is each one in infinitely many lines? So you can choose one of these infinitely many lines in order to get FIS(n) of d. > > > The list contains every finite initial segment of d. > > Do you agree? > > Irrelevant
In fact, it is irrelevant whether you agree. > > > Every finite initial segment is finite. > > Do you agree? > > Irrelevant
Please note, I did not ask you.

You think that d in actually infinite. It is not. It stretches from d_1 to the d_n of your choice. And exactly the same is in infinitely many lines. Of course you can choose whatever n you like (because that is the meaning of potentially infinite: you can choose whatever n you like).
