May 31, 2023 at 18:43 comment added Michael Hardy @TheAmplitwist : I think $\epsilon$ looks too much like $\in. \qquad$
May 30, 2023 at 17:49 comment added The Amplitwist @MichaelHardy Why change $\epsilon_0$ to $\varepsilon_0$?

Nov 11, 2009 at 17:04 comment added Ori Gurel-Gurevich This reference explains how to encode $\epsilon_0$ into $\omega$. You just split $\omega$ into infinitely many countable sets and embed $S_i$ into the $i$-th set (all in a recursive manner).
Nov 11, 2009 at 16:52 comment added David E Speyer Maybe, but if it is there I don't understand it. This seems to be explaining how to label trees by ordinals below $\epsilon_0$. I'm trying to figure out how to pack epsilon_0 into positive integers, which are the objects PA is allowed to talk about.
