We can't do that, but we don't need to anyway.
Strings are geometric in expressive power. Elsewhere in the article they state that the limits to human knowledge are universal.... meaning that we can understand everything in the universe, which seems effectively infinite already.
- afarviral 4y agoThat seemed an odd question to raise. It could instead be: How could our perception of reality change if humans could conceive of a system of finite non-symbol non-sequences? (Which sounds strikingly like direct thought implant, which is probably an inevitable next-step… and more approachable than infinite series perception)
