5. Infinite generating sets

Everything discussed above works for the case of infinite generating sets $ g _ i, i \in \alpha $, where $ \alpha $ represents any cardinal number. For example, we can make $ F _ V (\aleph _ {0}) $. Even for infinitely many generators, though, every term $ t$ still involves only finitely many of the variables.
