It has never crossed their sewer brains why Cantor chose N as an index set. For this they have no answer, only an ineffective and weak response "That's the definition".

Nevertheless one can try to motivate Cantor's definition of countability by insightful results that follow. For example, from this definition we deduce that there exists unrecognised langauges, such as the halting problem. So cut the trash talk and move on to something actually contestable.

One-to-one with N works because N is countable and N is countable because its elements can be systematically assigned unique names.

However, contrary to your lies about me having made a claim that R is countable, I have shown that R is not countable by using the correct definition:

On what tree branch is 0.333...., you fucking moron?!!!!!

You agreed with Mark Chu Carroll that 0.333... is in my tree. On what level is it, you little pisshead????!?!!!!

Sure, it is in the tree but it doesn't correspond to a natural number.

I don't know who Chu Carroll is, but a Google search revealed he's a math professor. Have you had a discussion with him and he also brought up this point? Yes, in that case I think we agree.

But I don't know who it is and I haven't seen your discussion.

I agree that 1/3 is in the tree (not as a node or course, but as an entire path). I do not agree you have a bijection. 1/3 doesn't correspond to any natural number.

Doesn't have to. It has a unique name according to mainstream which is 0.333...
Therefore, since all the elements have unique names AND can be systematically names R is countable contrary to your crank father Cantor.

Nothing of the sort. He has a computer science degree.

Nevertheless one can try to motivate Cantor's definition of countability by insightful results that follow. For example, from this definition we deduce that there exists unrecognised langauges, such as the halting problem. So cut the trash talk and move on to something actually contestable.

The one you are taught about one-to-one with N is due to the fact that you are too stupid to understand the correct definition.

Mainstream cranks never ask themselves why N is countable.

A set is countable if and only if, its members can be systematically named.

Indexing (1-1 with N) is just one way of naming the elements.

One DOES NOT need a 1-1 correspondence with N because this is only the case when elements are indexed, However, this is not what is meant by countable set.

Mainstream math cranks do not understand.

Where did you get the definition "A set is countable if and only if, its members can be systematically named." from?
That countability means bijection with the natural numbers because everybody (except you) say it is.
You don't get to call others wrong by making up your own definition.

Depends on the scale and resolution. ;^)

i[0] = 0
i[1] = 1/6
i[2] = 1/3
....

So, 1/3 is index i[2].

i[0] = 0
i[1] = 1/12
i[2] = 1/6
i[3] = 1/3
....

1/3 is index i[3] here.

Where are you getting this definition from? Is 1-1 correspondence is only an example of "indexing elements", what is the general definition of "indexing a set" then? How do we know if a set can be indexed or not?

A 3-ary tree:

0
/|\
/ | \
/ | \
1 2 3
................

It is build with natural numbers.

1
/|\
/ | \
/ | \
4 5 6
...............

So, trees are always interesting to me, well, they are fractal as
well... :^)

That is what countability means. Initially it was defined as follows:

A set is countable if and only if, its members can be listed.

Ever ask yourself why N is countable and why a bijection with N is used?

Answer: The elements of N can be systematically named using any radix system.

No. Bijection with N is one way of checking for countability, but not the essence of what it means.

I do call them wrong because they are WRONG. And no, I didn't make up that definition. It is the original Cantor definition.

In mathematics, a set is said to be countable if its elements can be "numbered" using the natural numbers. More precisely (meaning for imbeciles who are not geniuses like John Gabriel), this means that there exists a one-to-one mapping from this set to (not necessarily onto) the set of natural numbers.

John Gabriel knows that elements being numbered is the same as being INDEXED or given a UNIQUE NAME. Learn from me, you syphilitic, stupid, jealous bastards!!!

Your moronic math professors and teachers DO NOT know or understand these things. They are my intellectual inferiors as are YOU!

All of you are not worth one turd of mine.

What does it mean to index a set?
what is the general definition of "indexing a set" then? How do we know if a set can be indexed or not?

When you visit a library to find a particular book, do you not look it up in an index that tells you where that book is?

Gosh, you are one prize moron.

Here is a simpler example. Consider the set T={cars, airplanes, ships}. There are many types of cars and car dealers as there are airplanes and ships.

We could create an index that goes something like this:

1 - Toyota (1)
BMW (2)
Mercedes (3)
etc
2 - Mirage (1)
F16 (2)
Raptor (3)
etc
3 - Cruiser (1)
Frigate (2)
Submarine (3)
etc
Now we have a lot of information about all these forms of transport but not enough memory. So what do we do, we store the information using an index. For example, we can say Description 2(3): Speed: Mach 2 and so on.

In the same way, the father of all mainstream mathematical cranks such as yourself, realised that the set of Natural Numbers serves as a very good indexing tool.

The reason the mythical set R is not countable is due to the fact that R does not exist! In other words, you cannot NAME the elements of R so that a natural number can be used to INDEX them. DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW, YOU FUCKING MORON?

> what is the general definition of "indexing a set" then? How do we know if a set can be indexed or not?

Oh wait, I forgot turd head Klyver might ask what is the set being indexed. Tsk, tsk. Here is a quiz for you, dipstick!

The examples you give are examples of indexing with natural numbers. But you said those are not the only indexes. Then, what do you mean by an "index"? The mainstream definition of countable defines countibility as indexing with natural numbers. You can't just change the definitions just because you feel like it and expect everyone to know you're inventing your own math and terminology.

And stop hating Jews.

More precisely (meaning for imbeciles who are not geniuses like John Gabriel), this means that there exists a one-to-one mapping from this set to (not necessarily onto) the set of natural numbers.

> The examples you give are examples of indexing with natural numbers. But you said those are not the only indexes. Then, what do you mean by an "index"? The mainstream definition of countable defines countibility as indexing with natural numbers. You can't just change the definitions just because you feel like it and expect everyone to know you're inventing your own math and terminology.
