Ordinals in googology
...This topic is taking over BOTH the LTCFC and TFNCAQ so now it deserves its own thread.
Primarily I'm concerned about large ordinals here.
For example, the first fixed point of ∂ |-> w∂ is w^^2. Hence we can make a function:
f(i) = the i-th fixed point of ∂ |-> w∂
What would f(2) be? f(w)? Would the last fixed point of ∂ |-> w∂ be well-defined?
At this point there is a function that diagonalizes from epsilon 0:
f(i) =the 1st fixed point of ∂ |-> {w, ∂, i, 1}
...if I got BEAF correct.
Then we effectively get a new fast growing function t(i), where assuming FGH is the fgh function,
t(i) = FGH_f(i)(2)

EDIT:
it's probably a good idea to mention my ord function up here.
Formal definition:
oddpart(n)=
Code: Select all
oddpart(n/2), n/2 ∈ natural numbers
n, n/2 ∈ not-natural numbers
Code: Select all
n/oddpart(n)
Code: Select all
(ord(log_2(twoeypart(n))),ord((oddpart(n)-1)/2)), n>0
0, n=0

Here's something which grows faster than t(i)
tmod(i) = fgh_f(i)(i)
Which is just t but it's of I rather than 2, making it larger for large values

Re: Ordinals in googology
Here's what one could call the
hardy, fast and slow-growing hierarchy:
hsf_n(x)=
More fgh variants:
f(x) =
(Grows significantly faster than the normal fgh)
f(x) =
(An extension of the previous)
Or something similar:
f(x) =
Which is probably less powerful but sill pretty simple and much more powerful than the fgh (for inputs >= w2, since w[n] = n)

Re: Ordinals in googology
There has to be something wrong with that logic, because if ∂ = w2 = w+w, then it is implied that w+w = w(w+w), or w+w = w^2+w^2.BlinkerSpawn wrote:
∂ |-> w∂ is the same as w^∂ |-> w^(1+∂), so f(i) is w^{i'th limit of successors} = w^(wi). The "last fixed point" does not exist because there is no greatest ordinal.

Re: Ordinals in googology
Does this notation I created do what I want?
It's sm but the g analogue preserves iteration
Remember:
Speaking of which, I should demonstrate the awesome power of sm:
sm_w(3)=
So yeah...
while f_w(3) = (2^402653184)*402653184. When you have limit ordinals, sm becomes much much much more powerful than the fgh, even though it behaves the same for finite numbers

Re: Ordinals in googology
Here's a new thing
The decord (decreasing ordinal) sequence:
start with an ordinal c as term 1.
Rules:
Iff term n is 0: stop
Else:
Iff term n (call it a) is a limit ord, whose minimum "term" (eg. in w^w + w^4 + w2 = w^w + w^4 + w + w, the minimum term is w) is b, and for whom the rest of the terms of a are called r:
term n+1 = r+b[n] + b[n-1] + b[n-2] ... b[1],
Else:
Term n+1 = a-1
Demo:
Obviously this leads to a new function:
the term in the decord sequence for the ordinal a at which it becomes zero = dco(a) (decord)
dco(w+1) = 6, and dco(w^w+1) is ~tri^53(3160), give or take an iteration or two, where tri(n) = the nth triangular number. This suggests a reasonable bound of dco(w^w+1) << 3160^106 (though not in a googolplex-vs-g_64 kind of <<)
Since a[n] < a for all finite n, all decord sequences strictly decrease over time. Thus, dco(a) is finite for all a

Re: Ordinals in googology
Here’s what I see about dco(n) right now.
₩(w) = 0
₩(w+1) = 1
₩(w^2+14233221) = 14233221
n < w dco(n) = n+1
w < n < w2 dco(n) = 2₩(n+1)+1
₩(w) = 0
₩(w+1) = 1
₩(w^2+14233221) = 14233221
n < w dco(n) = n+1
w < n < w2 dco(n) = 2₩(n+1)+1

Re: Ordinals in googology
I don’t reslly know how to give a definition, so that’s why I put
₩(w) = 0
₩(w+1) = 1
₩(w^2+14233221) = 14233221
