SUMMARY
For any countably infinite set, the collection of its finite subsets and their complements forms a field F. This conclusion is based on the definition of a field, which includes all finite unions, intersections, and complements. The proof relies on the properties of finite sets, where the union or intersection of finite sets remains finite. Additionally, the complement of unions can be expressed as the intersection of complements, confirming the structure of field F.
