The integer lattice of Euclidean space is countable and not finite, and therefore admits a bijection from the natural numbers onto it.
Let be the set of natural numbers, let be the set of integers, let (so that , by claim 4 of Properties of the Order on the Natural Numbers), and let be the initial segment determined by . Let be Euclidean space, whose points are read as maps on with real values, the component of at being written , and let be the integer lattice, the set of those with for every . The notions finite, countable and bijection are those of the indicated definitions.
1. (Countability) The set is countable and is not finite.
2. (Enumeration) There is a bijection from onto .
