Limitlessness / Infinity

Wuqiong (无穷), literally “limitlessness,”has various meanings: (1) spatial boundlessness; (2) temporal endlessness; and (3) infinity in number, size, and so forth. As they explored limitlessness, the ancients recognized the relativity of the concept in terms of time, space, and other particular things. A switch in perspective may transform limitlessness into limitedness, and vice versa.

CITATION

CITATION
2
The land of the south knows no limits yet does have limits. Today I depart for Yue, but I arrived there yesterday.
