Infinite = not finite
Boundless = without bounds
Immeasurable = beyond measure
Limitless = without limit

Does anyone else find it interesting that all the words for this concept are constructed as negations of another word?

Language bonds.

Only the meaning, concept, or abstract notion beyond the language can be free.

In other words, "I" is not I, yet, I am.

I'm not.


--------------------
Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage. He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.Man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time

Yeah, because we live in an appreciative manner, and we learn through comparison and measurements. In order to make an appreciation that can be understood, we use as a point if reference something definite.

And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

There are other ways to define those words without using a negation of the base word.

Immeasurable : cannot be quantitized

or something similar

Infinite : without end

etc.

Many words can be defined as negations, and there is nothing really significant about it.

Immobile : not mobile, lol

Obviously, when a prefix such as Im- or In- or a suffix such as -less is added to a word, the newly formed word can be defined as a negation of the base word.  Though you really shouldn't use the word you are defining in the definition of itself :crazy2:

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”
