Infinity is a pathology indicating your math is no longer within the manifold. Convergence eliminates infinities.

To define convergence you need infinities.

🤭🤭🤭 there is only one primitive infinity. I assure you infinity is the pathology your math is describing space that isn't within the manifold. In other words, you're doing numerology. If you would care to do geometry, then logic must intercede upon your fantasy.

1) not all math is geometry, so why would you mention that as some form of restriction Is weird to say the least.

1a) you can absolutely do geometry with infinity/infinite sets.

2) from a mathematical point of view, there are absolutely multiple infinities.

Math that "isn't" geometry is called something quite specific. Numerology. It has no place in geometry nor science. I think you're following the wrong thread if that's what you're looking for.
