Before and After

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

The same, but perhaps he is better received.

The mathematical term for this would be Briah(aleph). But there can 
still be Briah(aleph+1).

I must second Adam Thornton's recommendation of _Surreal
Numbers_, it is the best "pilot hole" I've seen for drilling your way 
into the intricacies of infinite numbers, and covers things my previous 
readings and math teachers hadn't. This is not just an egghead math 
thing, it has real and direct applications to liberal arts, like solving 
Zeno's paradox.
