  • Yes! There’s actually two facets to consider:

    1. Infinities can be countable or uncountable:

      • The set of integers is a countable infinity. This is pretty obvious, since you can easily count from one member to the next.

      • The set of irrational numbers is an uncountable infinity. This is because if I give you one member, you can’t give me an objectively “next” one. There’s infinitely many choices.

        Example: I say what’s the next member of the set of irrational numbers after 1.05? Well, there’s 1.050001, 1.056, etc.

    2. Can a member of an infinite set be mapped to a corresponding member of another infinite set? And if so, how?

      Spoiler, there are three different ways: surjective, injective, and bijective

    In this situation, the sets are both countable. QA can open bug #1, bug #2, etc. It’s also - for now - at least a surjective mapping of Starfield bugs -> Skyrim bugs. Because they’re both countable, for each bug in Starfield you can find at least one bug in Skyrim (because it’s bigger).

    But we don’t know more than that right now.
