Proof question resolved

From an Explain template:

Major hole in proof: $F$ needn't be countably infinite, which is necessary. Compare when $f$ is constant. It surely will be a path.

$T$ is a Definition:Countable Finite Complement Topology, which by definition is the Definition:Finite Complement Topology on a Definition:Countably Infinite Set.

The image of $f$ is $S$, which from Mapping Induces Partition on Domain has a countably infinite domain. (The inverse of a mapping is one-to-many, so the cardinality of the domain of $f$ is at least as big as that of its image.)

So yes, $F$ is countably infinite. --prime mover (talk) 03:13, 1 February 2018 (EST)
