!! cmavo ci'i (PA5)
!!! Proposed Definition
Infinity; when followed by a number, denotes a transfinite cardinal, such as ℵ{SUB()}0{SUB}. As multiplication and exponentiation of transfinite ordinals is incompatible with that of cardinals, a new cmavo should be added for a transfinite ordinal, such as ω{SUB()}0{SUB}.
