There is an integer "not in the range of" {1,2,3}. So what! The set {1,2,3} is complete.
EDIT:
No, it is incomplete, whether it is finite or infinite collection, for example, this is P(S) infinite collection:
000... ↔ { }
1
10... ↔ {x,y}
10
0... ↔ {x}
101... ↔ {x,z}
010... ↔ {y}
011... ↔ {y,z}
001... ↔ {z}
...
where the diagonal's first 3 symbols, in this case, is
101...
and this incompleteness is exactly the ability of a given thing to be developed beyond its current state, which is the essence of usefulness.
jsfisher said:
(And, by the way, this set P(S) you are keep trying to redefine isn't the power set of S.)
Yes, it is infinite P(S), and it is incomplete, as demonstrated above.
Usefulness is not less than Whole\Parts Relations where the Whole is beyond the limitations of the parts, which enables the development of each part beyond its current partial case.
Your mechanical reasoning, which according to it the Whole is the sum of its parts, is an obsolete reasoning, which has no ability to deal with real complexity, as demonstrated among living creatures.
Organic Mathematics is the further development beyond your mechanical reasoning, where concepts like Emptiness, Fullness, Non-locality (in addition to Locality, which is the only thing that your mechanical reasoning deals with) and the new understanding of the concept of Collection as an open and ever developing realm w.r.t the totality of Emptiness (that has not predecessor) and Fullness (that has no successor).
Furthermore your mechanical reasoning has no ability to comprehend the naturally undefined, which if defined, is the source of defined concepts like Emptiness, Fullness, Collection, Locality and Non-locality.
Sets don't have members they are not supposed to have. That doesn't make them incomplete. It makes them useful.
In other words jsfisher, you have no clue how non-usful is your mechanical reasoning for the future of the mathematical science.
In terms of Physics, the counter is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_state at the level of zero point field, which enables the finest observation of the counted. The Vacuum state is non-local observation w.r.t to any counted phenomena because any phenomena is born from the zero point field.
Your mechanical reasoning can't get the zero point field ( known also as the unified field
