DESCRIPTION #4:
All 3 of Stephen's examples are compatible with an eternal past and hence don't imply Causal Finitism.
DESCRIPTION #5:
The sequence of natural numbers in ascending order goes like {1, 2, 3, 4...} but you obviously can't reverse the order to have a "first" element precisely because there is no "last" element. The sequence of natural numbers is an actual infinite, like the set of all past years in an infinite past. The reason that the sequence of natural numbers can't be reversed has nothing to do with it being a potential infinite, in part because it's not a potential infinite.

Many thanks to the following people for providing helpful comments on earlier drafts of the script: Josh Rasmussen, Justin Mooney, Wade A. Tisthammer (aka Maverick Christian), Liz Jackson, Andrew Moon, & Joe Schmid.
Special thanks to Juan Tejada for his help animating this video! You're really talented, bro!
Minor corrections: At 4:51, premise (6) should read "finitism," not "fininitism." This correction applies to future iterations. At 12:09, premises (4) and (5) should read (4*) and (5*) respectively.
