Re: 'Infinite aggregates' puzzle

Is the infinity of a sequence greater than an infinity of an

1,2,3,4... infinity

And here is an aggregate or random infinity whose numerals just happen
to coincide with those of the numbered sequence (above),
1,2,3,4 ...infinity

Which infinity is greater?

I have a random collection of objects on my desk.

If I regard them in terms of weight, then a sequence of those objects
is implied.

If I regard them in terms of monetary value, a (possibly different)
sequence is implied.

I suggest that "a sequence", in the sense that you are using it,
is something that is imposed on an aggregate by our minds -- it
is a mental classification. An aggregate does not intrinsically
possess a sequence.
