Recursively repetition-free labelled tree ($\mathcal{T}(D)$)

For a label set $D$, define $\mathcal{T}(D)$ inductively: choose a root label $d\in D$ and a finite repetition-free sequence of rooted trees in $\mathcal{T}(D\setminus \{d\})$ as its children. Each object is a finite ordered rooted tree. Labels are distinct along each root-to-leaf path, and child rooted trees at a vertex are distinct as whole rooted trees. Labels may repeat across different branches; children need not have distinct root labels. For a finite pool of size $m$, the exact number $t_m$ of rooted trees satisfiesThis follows by choosing the root and then an ordered repetition-free list from the finite pool of smaller rooted trees.

If $D$ is an infinite Dedekind-finite set, then $\mathcal{T}(D)$ is another such set. Single-vertex rooted trees inject $D$ into it. A countable sequence of distinct rooted trees gives finite lists of labels by the depth-first traversal of a tree in the prescribed child order. By countable union of explicitly ordered finite lists without choice, an infinite union of labels contradicts Dedekind-finiteness. A finite union $F$ is equally impossible, since every rooted tree then lies in the finite set $\mathcal{T}(F)$, by mathematical induction on $|F|$ using the recursive child rule. Thus no countably infinite subset of rooted trees exists.
