Infinite Expressions
 | | INFINITE EXPRESSIONS |
"The infinite is always in potency, never in act" (Aristotle. Metaphysics).
"Mathematics is the science of the infinite" (Hermann Weyl).
"Infinity is but a peculiar turn given to generality" (Charles Sanders Peirce).
Examples of infinite expressions
([1...]*2]−1) // rep. (1 3 5 5 7 ...)
This expression is equivalent to
( (1 3 ...) )
(1÷[1 ...]) // rep. (1 1 1÷2 1÷3 1÷4 ...)
+⊣(1÷[1...]) // rep. (1 + 1÷2 + 1÷3 + ...) (harmonic series)
+⊣(1÷[1...]^2]) // rep. (1 + 1÷1÷2^2) + 1÷3^2) + 1÷4^2) + ...)
Parameterized infinite expressions
(p(n) = {n n+1 n+2 n+3 ...})
is represented by:
〈( p(n) = {n...} )〉
(q(n1 n2) = {n1+n2 (n1+1)*(n2+1) (n1+2)*(n2+2)...})
is represented by:
〈( q(n1 n2) = {⌊n1…⌋+⌊n2…⌋} )〉
Infinite higher order expressions
They are infinite expressions of infinite expressions. Examples:
- Infinite sequence of infinite sequences:
((1 2 3 ...) (1 2 3 ...) (1 2 3 ...) ...)
is represented as:
( ( ( 1... )☆) )
- Infinite set of infinite sets:
{{1 2 3 ...} {2 3 4 ...} {3 4 5 ...} ...}
is represented as:
{ {[1…]…} }
