We sometimes think of medial (that is, infinite Dedekind-finite) sets as being “small” infinite sets. Medial cardinals can be defined as those cardinals that are incomparable to ℵℴ; hence we tend to think of them as being spread out on a plane “just above” the natural numbers, which seems to lend support to the view expressed above that medial sets are “small”.
