infinite adj. common consisting of a large number of objects;
extreme. used very loosely as in: "this program produces infinite
garbage." "he is an infinite loser." the word most likely to follow
`infinite', though, is hair. it has been pointed out that fractals
are an excellent example of infinite hair. these uses are abuses of the
word's mathematical meaning. the term `semi-infinite', denoting an
immoderately large amount of some resource, is also heard. "this
compiler is taking a semi-infinite amount of time to optimize my
program." see also semi.

infinite
1. bigger than any natural number. there are
various formal set definitions in set theory: a set x is
infinite if
i there is a bijection between x and a proper subset of x.
ii there is an injection from the set n of natural numbers
to x.
iii there is an injection from each natural number n to x.
these definitions are not necessarily equivalent unless we
accept the axiom of choice.
2. the length of a line extended indefinitely.
see also infinite loop, infinite set.
