Taoism no doubt exists in Nasuverse. I just don't agree with saying taoism has absolute infinity
"Infinity is not "". In order to render infinity, one must define limits. Without limits, infinity does not exist. Infinity can be observed because objects possess limits. Ryougi Shiki was immersed in infinity, but found the non-existent limit and severed it.
Of course, limits do not exist within infinity, thus one cannot sever something that does not exist. As a result, escaping from this prison is impossible.
However --- without limits, infinity does not exist. Regardless if a finite wall existed, an limitless world is meaningless before Ryougi Shiki.
If there is no limit, then it is not infinity, but " ". If limits exist, then Rougi would find it and cut away everything.
It relates to Tao which talks ab how Tao's infinity works this
cough
What is the Infinite? To define it as other than the finite is to set the infinite apart from the finite, and thereby limit it. To define the infinite, therefore, is to make it definite, and no longer infinite. In fact, to say anything at all of the Infinite, is to actually say nothing about the true Infinite. Like the Tao, the Infinite that can be named is not the true Infinite. The Infinite, then, is ineffable. …Or is it? If we think that the Infinite is ineffable, we have once again defined it by distinguishing it from what is not ineffable. The Infinite is so utterly ineffable that we cannot even say that it is ineffable. Even this, however, is saying too much.
How to define infinity as infinite is to make it definite hence not infinity because infinity is only infinity if infinity is incomprehensible hence [] as they said here

The concept of infinity in Western and Eastern philosophies is very similar in some
respects yet different in others. In most Western religions, the Absolute Infinite is referred to as
God. In Taoism, the Infinite is called Tao, or The Way. Another way to think of Tao is as the
source of everything: “We know that life and the universe have a source, but the nature and
depth of that source lie beyond our ken.” (Walker, forward) Even though separated by land, the
ideas of the Infinite in both Taoism and Western religions developed similarly, with the same
attributes and metaphors used to describe it, yet Taoism also has some unique concepts of the
Infinite. .
It was directly compared to absolute infinity as well but the direct comparison doesn't matter because I feel like people would still say that's not enough and it's vague there's an indirect comparison as well once again.
here are obvious connections with central themes in theology, especially
with the medieval doctrine that only negative knowlege is possible of God
(apophatic theology). As it stands, it is indeed a negative statement. However it can be given a positive interpretation as follows. Let us provisionally identify the mathematical Absolutely Infinite with the set theoretic
universe as a whole (V). V is unknowable in the sense that we cannot
single it out or pin it down by means of any of our assertions: no true
assertion about V can be made that excludes unintended interpretations
that make the assertion true. In particular—and this is stronger than the
previous sentence—no assertion that we make about V can ensure that we
are talking about the mathematical universe rather than an object in this
universe. So if we do make a true assertion φ about V, then there exist sets
s such that φ is also true when it is interpreted in s.Cantor did not explicitly articulate this line of argument. Yet he was
probably the first one to make use of reflection as a principle motivating
the existence of sets [Hallett 1984]. He argues that the finite ordinals form
a set because they can be captured by a definite condition: Whereas, hitherto, the infinity of the first number-class (I) alone
has served as such a symbol [of the Absolute], for me, precisely
because I regarded that infinity as a tangible or comprehensible
idea, it appeared as an utterly vanishing nothing in comparison
with the absolutely infinite sequence of numbers. (Grundlagen einer allgemeinen Mannigfaltigkeitslehre (1883), endnote
to section 4: [Cantor 1932, p. 205])
Literally the statement that defining infinity does not make it infinite is in reference to transfinite (which have actual descriptions theorems and axioms to assert their existence).
An infinite that cannot be defined as true infinity, this aligns with cantors views of absolute infinity, again with how universe V and reflection principle makes it ineffable.
For us to call absolute infinity anything outside of a collection of everything in V in relation to V is limiting it, to map to some infinity X provide theorems and axioms for it, you fail to capture absolute infinity through what you positive express because there exist some set in V that satisfies such characterization, hence absolute infinity is absolute infinity if it's not defined but ineffable.

These similarities are the reason why Tao was later on posited to be equivalent to absolute infinity.

Which again is how infinity in Tao works its only infinite if it's ineffable, defining it is limiting it for the taoists true infinity is only true infinity if it's ineffable
Hence transfinites which actually define infinity cannot reach the infinity taoists envisioned by the Taoists.

Same shit is said in the nasuverse can't make this up bro even when it's as clear as the sky they'll still say it's a wank.
