In private e-mail, I have been reminded that the process I described generates
not sentences of infinite length, but rather an infinite set of sentences of
arbitrary length.

It is still not a matter of representation, in any case.

Rich Alderson   You know the sort of thing that you can find in any dictionary
                of a strange language, and which so excites the amateur philo-
                logists, itching to derive one tongue from another that they
                know better: a word that is nearly the same in form and meaning
                as the corresponding word in English, or Latin, or Hebrew, or
                what not.
