It has always seemed to me that one ought to be able to give
a satisfactory answer to the old puzzle about how finite beings
can apprehend actual infinities by use of IT ideas like lazy
evaluation.   I'm sure I can't be the only person who has tho'rt
this.  There must be a literature on it.  Can anyone point
Franklin Pacheco (and me - i have a semester off next year, when
i'll have time to think about things like this) at it?

         v best wishes
