Abstract
In this article, we will present a particularly remarkable partitioning method of any infinite set with the aid of non-surjective injective maps. The non-surjective injective maps from an infinite set to itself constitute a semigroup for the law of composition bundled with certain properties allowing us to prove the existence of remarkable elements. Not to mention a compatible equivalence relation that allows transferring the said law to the quotient set, which can be provided with a lattice structure. Finally, we will present the concept of Co-injectivity and some of its properties.
