"are confused". Passive voice. "Are confused" by whom?
You introduced another definition for "limit" and
now you have confused yourself.

Here, I have an idea: use the standard definition for
the limit of an increasing sequence of sets: union.
'Bye with the confusion.

Ah. Therefore, when you say below:
   "The reason is that set theory puts union = limit,
    which is wrong",
it looks as though what you mean by saying something and
not saying something "has been confused". Of course,
with the use of passive voice, we have no idea
who did the confusing.

I see no good reason for you to have introduced your
analytical limit.

You want some contradiction to appear so that you can
argue against complete infinity. But giving some
different definition of "limit" and getting different results
is not a contradiction -- any more than pointing out
the fact that there is no x such that 2*x = 3 _in the integers_
while at the same time there is such an x _in the rationals_.

That's not to say that I can't think of less-than-good
reasons.

The least upper bound and the union are the same set.
Apparently, it "has been confused" that the same set both
has and doesn't have the cardinality aleph_0 .

No set in an _infinite_ increasing sequence of sets
can be as large as or larger then all the sets in the sequence.
If it were, it would have to be the last set, but there is no
last set.

This is as false as the last time you said this.
There is no last FISON, so the union _must_
surpass all.

Why not use the same meaning for "transfinite" as
everyone else?

I would agree with the "of course", but not because of
that recursion relation -- which looks remarkably similar
to the recursive definition for von Neumann ordinals.
Von Neumann ordinals have no problem with being infinite.

I'm hoping that you don't mean "of course" all FISONs
are finite because none has card aleph_0. That isn't
a reason, it's a re-statement.

The cardinality of omega + 1 is the same as the cardinality
of omega.

By an interesting non-coincidence, omega + 1 has a bijection
with omega which is a proper subset of omega + 1 and this
is the definition of an infinite set. Funny how that
works out.
