“Infinite Sets That Admit Fast Exhaustive Search”, Martin Escardo2007-07-10 (, )⁠:

[Twitter] Perhaps surprisingly, there are infinite sets that admit mechanical exhaustive search in finite time.

We investigate 3 related questions: What kinds of infinite sets admit mechanical exhaustive search in finite time? How do we systematically build such sets? How fast can exhaustive search over infinite sets be performed?
