Ordinals in googology

Post by testitemqlstudop » September 26th, 2019, 7:12 am

...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)

I believe that f(2) would be w^w^w judging by the fact that e_1 = e_0^^w

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
twoeypart(n)=

Code: Select all

n/oddpart(n)
ord(n)=

Code: Select all

(ord(log_2(twoeypart(n))),ord((oddpart(n)-1)/2)), n>0
0, n=0

the first one

EDIT:
I think it's worth mentioning the (informal) definitions of fundamental sequences, the fgh, and a crappy hierarchy I came up with.

The fgh, sgh, and HH are all defined in the general format

f_n(x) =

Code: Select all

x, n = 0
f_n[x](x), n a lim ord
[something involving f_n-1(x)] otherwise
for instance, the fgh is:
f_n(x) =

Code: Select all

x+1, n = 0
f_n[x](x), n a lim ord
f^x_n-1(x) otherwise
and the HH is:
h_n(x) =

Code: Select all

x, n = 0
h_n[x](x), n a lim ord
h_n-1(x+1) otherwise
Which is surprisingly totally different and much more faster than the sgh:
g_n(x)=

Code: Select all

x, n = 0
g_n[x](x), n a lim ord
g_n-1(x)+1 otherwise
About your second f:
testitempimplesquidIDyoulot wrote:f(i) =the 1st fixed point of ∂ |-> {w, ∂, i, 1}
...if I got BEAF correct.
f(1) > gamma_0 (which is {w,w,1,1}. The reader could refer to the bottom of this section for ordinal beaf.) since it is a |-> {w, a, 1, 1}

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

Here's what one could call the
hardy, fast and slow-growing hierarchy:
hsf_n(x)=

Code: Select all

x, n = 0
hsf_n[x](x), n a lim ord
hsf^x_n-1(x+1)+1 otherwise
More fgh variants:

f(x) =

Code: Select all

x+1, n = 0
f_n[f_n[x](x)](x), n a lim ord
f^x_n-1(x) otherwise
(Grows significantly faster than the normal fgh)
f(x) =

Code: Select all

x+1, n = 0
f_g(x,n,x)(x), n a lim ord
f^x_n-1(x) otherwise

define g(m,n,x) =
n[f_g(m-1,n,x)(x)], m>0,
x, m less than or = to 0 
(An extension of the previous)

Or something similar:
f(x) =

Code: Select all

x+1, n = 0
f_g(x,n,x)(x), n a lim ord
f^x_n-1(x) otherwise

define g(m,n,x) =
n[g(m-1,n,x)], m>0,
x, m less than or = to 0 

(g is just n[n[n[n[n[n[n[....x]]]]], with m ns)
Which is probably less powerful but sill pretty simple and much more powerful than the fgh (for inputs >= w2, since w[n] = n)

Nah, we can approximate values in what I'll call the weak moose-growing hierarchy
wm_n(x)=

Code: Select all

x+1, n = 0
wm_g(x,n,x)(x), n a lim ord
wm^x_n-1(x) otherwise

define g(m,n,x) =
n[g(m-1,n,x)], m>0,
x, m less than or = to 0 

(g is just n[n[n[n[n[n[n[....x]]]]], with m ns)
<late edit>oh crumbs, wm isn't defined for a lot of ordinals when you get to stuff like n[w^w]</late edit>

And strong moose-growing hierarchy:
sm_n(x)=

Code: Select all

x+1, n = 0
sm_g(x,n,x)(x), n a lim ord
sm^x_n-1(x) otherwise

define g(m,n,x) =
n[sm_g(m-1,n,x)(x)], m>0,
x, m less than or = to 0
In terms of the fgh

What is sm_w(n) in the fgh?

(Note to self: remember to add a link to this (viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4131&p=83326#p83326) with a name like "sm and wm" to the fluffykitty conwaylife googology googology wiki page; I'm at school and they block wikia so I can't do it right now.)

Any limit ordinal ∂ is the supremum of all elements in its fundamental sequence?

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.

You can't just assign arbitrary values unless you follow the such that.
Of course it won't work for ∂ = w2

Of course w2 doesn't work, it's not of form w^(wa).

Does this notation I created do what I want?
It's sm but the g analogue preserves iteration

Code: Select all

ssm_n(x,y)=

x+y, n = 0

ssm_sg(x,n,x,y)(x,y), n a lim ord

ssm_n-1(x,xy) otherwise

define sg(m,n,x,y) =

n[ssm_sg(m-1,n,x)(x,y)], m>0,

x, m less than or = to 0


Remember:

Code: Select all

sm_n(x)=

x+1, n = 0
sm_g(x,n,x)(x), n a lim ord
sm^x_n-1(x) otherwise

define g(m,n,x) =
n[sm_g(m-1,n,x)(x)], m>0,
x, m less than or = to 0
Speaking of which, I should demonstrate the awesome power of sm:
sm_w(3)=

Code: Select all

sm_g(3,w,3)(3)=
sm_w[sm_g(2,w,3)(3)](3)=
sm_w[sm_w[sm_g(1,w,3)(3)](3)](3)=
sm_w[sm_w[sm_w[sm_g(0,w,3)(3)](3)](3)=
sm_w[sm_w[sm_w[sm_3(3)](3)](3)=
f_(f_(f_(f_3(3))(3))(3))(3))

f_3(3)= f_2(f_2(f_2(3)))

f_2(3)=(2^3)*3 = 24

f_3(3) = f_2(f_2(24)) =
f_2((2^24)*24) =
f_2(402653184) =
(2^402653184)*402653184

f_(f_(f_(f_3(3))(3))(3))(3)) =
f_(f_(f_(2^402653184)*402653184(3))(3))(3)) ...

>f_(f_(2{2^402653184*402653184-1}3)(3))(3))... (using bowers' notation)

> 2{2{2{2^402653184*402653184-1}3-1}3-1}3
So yeah...

Code: Select all

#C the 3-1's aren't twos -- you have to follow order of operations.
#C presumably more knuth arrows = higher priority in order of operations, but the point is that you're subtracting from the 2{huge thing}3 mess

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:

Code: Select all

w+1
w
3
2
1
0

Code: Select all

w^w+1
w^w
w^2+w
w^2+6
w^2+5
w^2+4
w^2+3
w^2+2
w^2+1
w^2 (10th term)
w55
w54+66
...
w54 (78th term)
w53+3081
...
w53 (3160th term)
...

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

Anyone care to evaluate
smĘ_w_w(1)?
I will, after I see what I can do with

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:

Code: Select all

w+1
w
3
2
1
0

Code: Select all

w^w+1
w^w
w^2+w
w^2+6
w^2+5
w^2+4
w^2+3
w^2+2
w^2+1
w^2 (10th term)
w55
w54+66
...
w54 (78th term)
w53+3081
...
w53 (3160th term)
...

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

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

smĘ_m_n(x)= (m and n)

Code: Select all

x+1, m=0 and n=0
smĘ_m_ge(x,n,x)(x), n a lim ord
smĘ^x_m_n-1(x), n not a lim ord
smĘ_ge(x,m,x)_m(x), n=0 and m a lim ord
smĘ_m-1_m(x+1), n=0 and m not a lim ord

define ge(m,n,x) =
n[smĘ_ge(m-1,n,x)(x)], m>0, (you only provided m)
x, m less than or = to 0
You could call it the "hardy strong-moose Ę hierarchy"

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
