That is possible. My arguments hold only under the premise of actual 
infinity showing that Hilbert's hotel is nonsense because the set of 
natural numbers cannot be extended. If all rooms are occupied than no 
guest can leave his room for a not occupied room. (When I was in USA or 
the first time, I asked in a Hilton whether they had free rooms. They 
laughed.)

Finite is much larger than Peano or you could/can imagine.

Do you believe that it needs a shift to state:
All different unit fractions are different.
∀n ∈ ℕ: 1/n - 1/(n+1) > 0 
I can see no shift.
