It seems that what you are describing is usually called finitism. Bas On Saturday 31 January 2009 05:35:41 Galchin, Vasili wrote:
i.e. a well-defined algorithm exists to construct Cantor dust but the Cantor dust cannot be constructed/built from the algorithm in a finite number of steps. Hence, Cantor dust represents potential infinity rather than actual infinity. This problem has nagged at me for a while.
