Therefore ZF is incompatible with mathematics. |ℕ| is a fixed quantity larger than every n, by any factor, for instance by the factor 100. All FISONs stay below the threshold |ℕ|/100, or in other words, multiplication of any FISON by 100 is insufficient to cover |ℕ|. Every union of FISONs {1, 2, 3, ..., n} which stay below this threshold stays below this threshold too. Regards, WM
