May 18, 2011 at 13:12 comment added Hans-Peter Stricker @James: Sorry for that (for me a graph is directed, but I should have been aware that this is not common!) An undirected graph is then just a special kind of (symmetric) digraph.

May 18, 2011 at 12:46 comment added James Cranch Secondly, why isn't the graph I described (vertices $\mathbb{N}$, edges from $n$ to $n\pm 1$) a counterexample?
May 18, 2011 at 12:44 comment added James Cranch It's possible I'm being really stupid. But I'd like a bit more clarification. Firstly, you really ought to say from the beginning that you're interested in directed graphs (to me a graph is undirected).
May 18, 2011 at 12:31 comment added Hans-Peter Stricker @James: I tried to make things clearer. Especially, I mean the directed natural number graph with edges from n to n+1 only.

May 18, 2011 at 12:07 comment added James Cranch I haven't understood the definition of "finitely discriminable" yet, can you help? By "natural number graph" do I assume you mean the graph whose vertices are natural numbers, with edges between $n$ and $n\pm 1$? If so, then, unless I'm very much mistaken, it's finitely discriminable but not for the reasons you state. After all, the label you've associated to 100 (consisting of $1,2,\ldots,100$) could very well be attached to 1 instead (just the wrong way around, with downwards being sent to upwards). Shouldn't you instead associate something like the interval $[1,2n-1]$ to the vertex $n$?
