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?
