Can I use inductive proof on set of infinite sequences?
Assume $a$ is an infinite sequence. $a(i)models p$ means the $i$th index of $a$ satisfies the $p$ property.
Given that $a(0)models p$ and $forall i. iinmathbb N land a(i)models p implies a(i+1)models p$. Can I use inductive proof to prove that ${amid forall i.iinmathbb N implies a(i)models p}neq emptyset$?
The problem here is that $a$ is an infinite sequence while the $i$ is a nature number.
