Yes, Frederik, that makes sense to me. As I mentioned in my previous
post, counting qualities or characters doesn't seem to be helpful.
Although it should be possible to enumerate them, to a point, for the
purpose of some inquiry.
As I recall, Jon Awbrey in the last month or two referenced a text
from Peirce about the multiplication of breadth and depth using
symbols like 1, 0, and the infinity loop, to distinguish cases such
as essential depth and breadth, substantial depth and breadth, the
idea of nothing, the idea of being, etc. If infinity was indeed used
then, Peirce had certainly contemplated infinite depth and infinite
breadth, although perhaps not simply in the sense of counting with no
end, but in the direct sense of being that which is without limit, so
depth without limit or breadth without limit.
