  Infinite \In"fi*nite\, a. [L. infinitus: cf. F. infini. See
     {In-} not, and {Finite}.]
     1. Unlimited or boundless, in time or space; as, infinite
        duration or distance.
  
              Whatever is finite, as finite, will admit of no
              comparative relation with infinity; for whatever is
              less than infinite is still infinitely distant from
              infinity; and lower than infinite distance the
              lowest or least can not sink.         --H. Brooke.
  
     2. Without limit in power, capacity, knowledge, or
        excellence; boundless; immeasurably or inconceivably

        forms of the canon, called also {perpetual fugues}, so

資料來源(6): Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]

  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
  
     <mathematics> 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}.
