Finitary
In mathematics or logic, a finitary operation is one, like those of arithmetic, that take a number of input values to produce an output. An operation such as taking an integral of a function, in calculus, is defined in such a way as to depend on all the values of the function (infinitely many of them, in general), and is so not prima facie finitary.
