The Dewey section and Elias omega encoding was fun, but it reminded me of Project Xanadu's tumblers[1] - a variable length dotted notion where each segment is unbounded. Tumblers are modeled using transfinite numbers which makes me wonder: what are the similarities and differences between transfinite numbers and Elias omega encoding? I'm not well versed in either, so I expect it's either a question from ignorance or I may have a lot to learn. :) 1. https://www.artandpopularculture.com/Tumbler_%28Project_Xanadu%29 https://www.artandpopularculture.com/Tumbler_%28Project_Xana...
