"My number is bigger!" (Remake)
« on: December 07, 2014, 10:13:37 am »
Similar to most threads; your post must have a number:
1. Bigger than the last number posted
2. Without any infinities
3. That is understandable
4. That does not have a reference to the last number (ie. "Your number plus one")

I'll start off with something relatively massive...
42. ;)

/thread

Graham's number:
G(0) = 4
G(n) = 3^(G(n-1))^3

Your number is G(64) = 3^(G63)^3

In response, my number is
G(G(G(128))), that is, G(128) nested twice within Graham's "function."

Okay, well in that case, TREE(TREE(TREE(...(999)...))) with TREE(10) levels of recursion.

Damnit Gingeas, you tripped me up- I was going to just do fast-growing hierarchies and be done with it, but nooo. You had to do the one that grows faster.

Oh dang, that escalated quickly.

Rayo(...(Rayo(Ξ(42^^42))...) with 42 nested levels. ;)

n, where n is an arbitrarily high number.

Well, that was fun while it lasted. At least our numbers got to over 9000!

Had the "no infinities" rule been non-existent, I would imagine Alemagno or Aarex showing up with some crazy notation of some sort... haha.

Aleph fixed point master race!
Absolute infinity master race!

But yeah, Cantor would be crying right now if he was still alive.
