(the chapter suggests a grounding for the concept of infinity in embodied processes like walking which break down into an indeterminate number of steps)

Hah, this is weird serendipity. I was just about to tweet "dividing by zero is a bad way to get to infinity. Instead you should forget how to count, and try and walk to 'many'" Didn't tweet it because it seemed too inside-my-own-head that I figured others wouldn't grok :D

that book is actually pretty interesting—tldr is some processes have termination built into the concept while for others termination is outside the concept: they are simply aborted when their side effects have produced the desired result
