There are some properties of finite objects that don't scale up to the infinite case. For example, any finite set of real numbers must have a least element, though an infinite set of real numbers needn't have a least element. Similarly, any meet semilattice of finite height is also a join semilattice, but when extended to the infinite case this no longer holds true.
Is there are a term for properties like these that hold in the finite case but not the infinite case?
Thanks!
