Astraplex

Astraplex:

An astraplex is a collective made up of infinite headmates, groups, clusters, sisasystems, layers, and so on. It can both be used to describe having a sense of infinity within one's system structure, or to describe their size / headmate count / group count / layer count etc. in a numerical sense.

A collective can become an astraplex, could have always been one, or stop being one.

Astraplex was coined by combining the affix Astra- with the suffix -plex.

 * PolyAstro mentions groupings, layers and so on as only "several" rather than "infinite", and has a focus on headmate count. Astraplex describes all of them as "infinite".

Astraplex was coined to be a more comprehensive term for collectives whose experience with infinity affects their entire system structure, rather than only their headmate count.
