| Sep 29, 2010 at 4:49 | comment | added | Harrison Brown | I'm pretty sure that the algebraicity of Conway's constant follows immediately from the cosmological theorem (although this is based on dim memories of my proving this fact to myself when I was in high school, so take it with a couple grains of salt.) Whether it's reasonable to conjecture that there is a cosmological-type theorem, I don't know. | |
| Aug 3, 2010 at 1:14 | comment | added | Qiaochu Yuan | Given that Conway's constant exists, I don't think it's unreasonable to conjecture that it's algebraic. Natural combinatorial sequences with exponential growth rate tend to count regular languages. | |
