Is the universe infinite?

OPH distinguishes finite access from the size of a complete world. Each bounded observer can hold only finitely much distinguishable information through a specified interface. That does not decide whether there are finitely many observers, whether histories continue without bound, or whether an effective spatial geometry has infinite extent. Those are different questions. An infinite continuum can also be a useful limiting description without any observer enumerating its points. A physical claim about the whole universe needs a specified global construction and observational consequences; it cannot be read straight from one carrier's dimension or capacity. OPH's finite starting point therefore explains why local observations need no infinite register, while leaving global extent to the construction being tested.
