Is there a bigger number than this?

Sure. Just feed Aleph into the Ackerman function. Boom.

What about Aleph -> Ackerman function + 1?

That being said I'll just bullshit a new operator which will stump your power tower and claim it as trump, or short '

How does any of this shit produce something remotely meaningful?
Is this why Set-Theory is and will always be a meme philosophy?
>>
>>8018667
No-one actually cares about things like OP's cardinal. It's just some random cardinal. Set theorists do not study things like that, at all.

>>8018791
It's the set that contains all sets, even itself, isnt it?
>>
>>8018811
A cardinal number is not a set.
>>
The fuck are you shitlords talking about?

The cardinal of an uncountable infinite set is the largest possible number.

Get over it.

>How does any of this shit produce something remotely meaningful?
It doesn't. That's the joke. You probably don't get the joke. I'm aleph sure you don't get the joke.
>>
>>8018869
Not nearly so. There are infinitely many degrees of uncountability. That ride only starts with [math]\aleph_1[math]. For instance, [math]\aleph_2[/math] is the number of all possible curves that can exist in a plane.

That's presumably as long as you decide to keep playing the game. The last one alive in the counting game is the winner.

Hey does somebody know the -smallest- model of ZF(C) where all sets are measurable?
I know there are constructions - are the several and some which are more comprehensible than others?
I asked because a friendly loon on SE once discussed how forcing everything measurable would the the only sensible way to set up a good mathematical theories of path integrals

[math]\aleph_{\omega}[/math] instead?

Infinity - 1

biggest actual number since infinity isn't one

>>8020327

not this anon but let's try it again this way, I was dreaming of this, oddly:

[math] \displaystyle \aleph_{ \aleph_{ \aleph_{ \aleph_{ \aleph}^{ \aleph }}^{ \aleph_{ \aleph }^{ \aleph }}}^{ \aleph_{ \aleph_{ \aleph }^{ \aleph }}^{ \aleph_{ \aleph }^{ \aleph }}}}^{ \aleph_{ \aleph_{ \aleph_{ \aleph }^{ \aleph }}^{ \aleph_{ \aleph }^{ \aleph }}}^{ \aleph_{ \aleph_{\aleph }^{ \aleph }}^{ \aleph_{ \aleph }^{ \aleph }}}} [/math]
>>
>>8020172
If "infinity" isn't a number (as you just said yourself), then how can "infinity - 1" be a well-defined denotation of a number? It's meaning less.
>>
>>8020327

Now, the reason why mine worked and yours didn't is that 4chan's TeX implementation really hates it when the back-slashes that declare special symbols are{\right {\next {\to {\other ]\characters, in your originally formatted and posted version anyway (the tex code sometimes shows up as slightly different after posting, but you have to let the engine decide how it wants to represent what the code "was" after-the-fact). The best practice is { \to ] \always { \insert $ \a ] \space between two such objects. Don't ask me why but I know it works, and that you ignore this at your own peril.
>>
It depends, is your mom a number?
>>
>>8020372
[math]\displaystyle \bigwedge_{n \in \mathbb{N}} (\bigvee_{n} \implies \bigvee_{n+1})[/math]

There is isn't largest number, thus at least potential infinity (i.e. a concept representing a process which can be continued indefinitely) exists.
>>
>>8020366
Isn't it just that you used "\displaystyle" and he didn't?

[math]\displaystyle \aleph^{\aleph^{\aleph^{\aleph}_{\aleph}}_{\aleph^{\aleph}_{\aleph}}}_{\aleph^{\aleph^{\aleph}_{\aleph}}_{\aleph^{\aleph}_{\aleph}}}[/math]
>>
>>8020420
Write out a number that contains more stuff than >>8020354
>>
>>8020430
Yup, just as I thought.

(I copied verbatim his LaTeX that failed to render, only adding "\displaystyle" at the front, and voila, it rendered.)
>>
>>8020436
That expression is meaningless, you know. Aleph symbols need to have some explicit index somewhere, just by themselves, however nested, they mean nothing.
>>
>>8020445
So nest it with omega
>>
>>8020439

Be that as it may, the thing that I mentioned is also a best practice on this board. I know for a fact that I have had math posts fail to format for want of that SINGLE switch-change. Using \displaystyle by default is another best practice, as it renders large operators legible.

So do both.
>>
>>8018577
Is it consistent? Post your axioms.
>>
>>8018602
u jelly?

How can the alephs be used as a subscript. What does that even mean? Shouldn't the subscripts be ordinals?

>>8018484
infinite
