Description: Define plus infinity.
Note that the definition is arbitrary, requiring
only that be a set not in
and different from
(df-mnf9174). We use to make it independent of the
construction of , and Cantor's
Theorem will show that it is
different from any member of and therefore . See pnfnre9178,
mnfnre9179, and pnfnemnf10768.
A simpler possibility is to define as and as
, but that approach requires the Axiom of Regularity to show
that and are different from each other
and from all
members of . (Contributed by
