Can you explain what these Aโ‚€, Aโ‚, Aโ‚‚, ... are, and how their supremum is a finite number?

Oh, I didn't realize we were only doing finite numbers. I had thought we just needed numbers that.

The A's are the aleph numbers, just using A instead of ๐ก€ because I don't know how to put a subscript on the right side of an ๐ก€.

They are the cardinalities of well-ordered infinite sets. Aleph-0 is the cardinality of the natural numbers, aleph-1 is the cardinality of the smallest infinite set that is larger than the natural numbers, and it goes on from there.

Yeah; I was doing finite numbers. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
