Jan 21, 2023 at 21:31 | comment | added | Noah Schweber | Honestly this reads much more to me as a snake of length $\omega$. | |
Jan 19, 2023 at 14:28 | comment | added | Alec Rhea | The sense I get is that Apep was ‘counterintuitively long’, even to other gods like Ra and Set. | |
Jan 19, 2023 at 14:17 | comment | added | Alec Rhea | @AnoE Personally, I feel like $\omega_1$ is still too small to discuss what they were alluding to; a more appropriate interpretation would be the latter one above, where Ra is allowed to slay any set-sized ordinal amount each night and still arrives to a proper-class length snake the next day. These are gods, after all; why should they be constrained to the first few piddling infinities? | |
Jan 19, 2023 at 10:42 | comment | added | AnoE | How are you arriving at $\omega_1$ (uncountable) instead of just a countably infinite snake? | |
