Only existing natural numbers need be either, WM's non-existing naturals can be neither or both. > > > For example, you can say no > > x_n that will ever exist will be equal to 0. > > Yes, that is another example.

Do you deny this?
But the set of lines and d are not identical at all. d ha no member which is a line and the set f lines has no member which is natural, al the lines are lists/sets of naturals, none is a natural by itself.
Bit in Wolkenmuekenheim there does not appear to be any distinction between a set and one of its members. --
