The purpose of this paper is to introduce the idea of how to construct transfinite numbers and study transfinite arithmetic. The research method used is a literature review, which involves collecting various sources such as scientific papers and books related to Cantorian set theory, infinity, ordinal or transfinite arithmetic, as well as the connection between infinity and theology. The study also involves constructing the objects of study, namely ordinal numbers such as finite ordinals and transfinite ordinals, and examining their arithmetic properties. The results of this research include the methods of constructing both finite and transfinite ordinal numbers using two generation principles. Both finite and transfinite ordinal numbers are defined as well-orderings that are also transitive sets. Arithmetic of finite ordinal numbers is well-known, but the arithmetic of transfinite ordinal numbers will be introduced in this paper, including addition, multiplication, and exponentiation.References
