You can add this complementary sequence to the end of the list. That
will make you have a list with this complementary sequence included.
But then you can make a new complementary sequence, that is
You're saying that, just because you can *write down* the missing
sequence (at the beginning, middle or anywhere else in the list), it
follows that there *is* no missing sequence. Looks pretty wrong to me.
Cantor's proof disqualifies any candidate enumeration. You respond

But this infinite sequence cannot be in the list, above.
The "God" in question has to ackonwledge that.

What is the definition of "linear well founded order"? I'm familiar

Sorry Bruno, do forgive me - we seem destined to be out of synch at
the moment. I'm afraid I'm too distracted this week to respond
adequately -
Hi,
David, are you still there? This is a key post, with respect to the
"Church Thesis" thread.
So let us see that indeed there is no bijection between N and 2^N =
2X2X2X2X2X2X... = {0,1}X{0,1}X{0,1}X{0,1}X... = the set of infinite
binary sequences.
Suppose that there is a bijection between N
