Examples

“Thereupon, we shall label⟳ the number⟳ designated by a one followed by googolplexplex zeros as "googolplexplexplex," and then the number⟳ designated by a one followed by googolplexplexplex zeros as "googolplexplexplexplex," and so on, until we've added googolplex "plexes" to our original "googol," a number⟳ that (for lack of anything else coming to mind⟳) we'll name⟳ after this author, hence: ["]Nolandplex."”

“But the math is very nice and simple when you accept⟳ my claim⟳! On the other hand, if I accept⟳ your claim⟳ it becomes quite horrific. Let's take⟳ the value g to represent⟳ the probability that the number⟳ will be between 1/googolplexplex and googolplexplex. What is the chance that it will be between googolplexplex and googolplexplexplex (a much larger range)? Greater or lesser than g? How soon before your totals add⟳ up to more than 1?”

“One, two, three... four, five, six... seven, eight, nine... […] For most people, I suppose⟳ the biggest number⟳ they’ll likely meet⟳ will be somewhere in the billions or maybe the trillions, which might be something like⟳ the budget deficit or military spending or something like⟳ that. Mathematicians tend⟳ to use⟳ bigger numbers than that. Googolplexplexplex three, googolplexplexplex four... You made me do this! Googolplexplexplex five, googolplexplexplex six... When I get⟳ to 199, then that would be too hard, I would have⟳ to stop⟳.”

“If omega were a reallyreallyreallybig but finite number⟳, such as googolplexplexplex, the sequence would end⟳ before googolplexplexplex, it would have⟳ an immediate predecessor, you could step to it, though only in principle. All the properties you have⟳ insisted that omega must have⟳, on pain of being found inconsistent. But that's not what omega is.”
