Relation To The Noetherian Condition
Unlike the case of rings, there are Artinian modules which are not Noetherian modules. For example, consider the p-primary component of, that is, which is isomorphic to the p-quasicyclic group, regarded as -module. The chain does not terminate, so (and therefore ) is not Noetherian. Yet every descending chain of (without loss of generality) proper submodules terminates: Each such chain has the form for some integers ..., and the inclusion of implies that must divide . So ... is a decreasing sequence of positive integers. Thus the sequence terminates, making Artinian.
Over a commutative ring, every cyclic Artinian module is also Noetherian, but over noncommutative rings cyclic Artinian modules can have uncountable length as shown in the article of Hartley and summarized nicely in the Paul Cohn article dedicated to Hartley's memory.

“Among the most valuable but least appreciated experiences parenthood can provide are the opportunities it offers for exploring, reliving, and resolving one’s own childhood problems in the context of one’s relation to one’s child.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
“Such condition of suspended judgment indeed, in its more genial development and under felicitous culture, is but the expectation, the receptivity, of the faithful scholar, determined not to foreclose what is still a question—the “philosophic temper,” in short, for which a survival of query will be still the salt of truth, even in the most absolutely ascertained knowledge.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
