    The compactness theorem of a first-order logic is applied to a collection of infinitely many (finitary) homogeneous linear equations. The properties of a non-trivial \(h\)-solution are discussed. This procedure is then illustrated by the problem of the fundamental period of a Fibonacci sequence in a finite \(p\)-group of an exponent \(p\).
