+ # MetaNum
2
+
3
+ - MetaNum v1.0 by dlsdl
4
+
5
+ A huge number library holding up to X↑↑X&9e15.
6
+
7
+ This reaches level f<sub>ε₀</sub>, which is the limit of well-defined expressions in BEAF, hence the name.
8
+
9
+ MetaNum provides a robust implementation of hierarchical number representation based on the Hardy hierarchy (HH) and ordinal arithmetic. It can handle numbers far beyond standard JavaScript Number limits, using a sophisticated multi-dimensional array structure to represent ordinal numbers up to ε₀ (ω^ω^ω^……with ω floors). Internally, each MetaNum instance is represented as:
10
+
11
+ - **sign**: 1 (positive) or -1 (negative)
12
+ - **layer**: Non-negative integer representing the ω exponent tower height
13
+ - **array**: 2-dimensional array `[[r0, e, f, g, ...], [count, level], ...]` where the first row holds the base value and finite hyper-operation exponents, and subsequent rows hold ordinal terms
14
+

134
+ ```
135
+
136
+ ## Hyper-Operations (Tetration & Beyond)
137
+
138
+ ```javascript
139
+ // Tetration: a^^b
140
+ new MetaNum(2).tetr(3); // 2^^3 = 2^2^2 = 16
141
+ new MetaNum(2).tetr(4); // 2^^4 = 65536
142
+ MetaNum.tetr(2, 5); // 2^^5
143
+
144
+ // With payload (offset)
145
+ new MetaNum(10).tetr(2, new MetaNum(5)); // 10^^2 with payload 5
146
+
147
+ // Pentation: a^^^b
148
+ new MetaNum(2).pent(3); // 2^^^3
149
+
150
+ // General arrow notation: a↑^n b
151
+ new MetaNum(2).arrow(3)(4); // 2↑↑↑4 (pentation)
152
+ MetaNum.arrow(3, 4, 3); // 3↑↑↑↑3 = g_1
153
+
154
+ // Chain notation
155
+ new MetaNum(2).chain(4, 3); // 2→4→3
156
+
157
+ // Aperiation: a↑^a a
158
+ new MetaNum(2).aper(3); // 2↑↑↑2 = 4
159
+ ```
160
+
161
+ ## Super-logarithm & Super-root
162
+
163
+ ```javascript
164
+ // Super-logarithm (inverse of tetration)
165
+ new MetaNum(16).slog(2); // slog_2(16) = 3
166
+ new MetaNum(65536).slog(); // slog_10(65536) ≈ 2
167
+
168
+ // Super-square-root
169
+ new MetaNum(27).ssrt(); // ssqrt(27)
170
+
171
+ // Linear super-root
172
+ new MetaNum(100).linear_sroot(3); // ³ss̅r̅t̅(100)
173
+
174
+ // Layer arithmetic
175
+ new MetaNum(10).layeradd(3); // add 3 layers of exponentiation
176
+ new MetaNum(10).layeradd10(3); // 10^^3 (explicit base 10)
177
+ ```
178
+
179
+ ## Diagonalization / Expansion Hierarchy
180
+
181
+ These functions represent iterated diagonalizations at increasing ordinal levels:
182
+
183
+ ```javascript
184
+ const x = new MetaNum(10);
185
+
186
+ // Level ω+1: iterate aperiate
187
+ x.expande(3); // expande(x, 3) = iterated aperiate
188
+
189
+ // Level ω*2+1: iterate expande
190
+ x.multiexpande(3); // multiexpande(x, 3)
191
+
192
+ // Level ω*3+1: iterate multiexpande
193
+ x.powerexpande(3);
194
+
195
+ // Level ω^ω: diagonalize ω^x operations
196
+ x.aperioexpansion(3); // apea(x, 3)
197
+
198
+ // Level ω^ω+1: iterate aperioexpansion
199
+ x.explode(3); // expl(x, 3)
200
+
201
+ // Level ω^ω*2: diagonalize explode iterations
202
+ x.multiexplode(3); // muel(x, 3)
203
+
204
+ // Level ω^(ω+1): diagonalize ω^ω*y
205
+ x.aperioexplode(3); // apel(x, 3)
206
+
207
+ // Level ω^(ω+1)+1: iterate aperioexplode
208
+ x.detonate(3); // deto(x, 3)
209
+
210
+ // Level ω^(ω*2): diagonalize ω^(ω+1)*y
211
+ x.aperionate(3); // apeo(x, 3)
212
+
213
+ // Level ω^(ω*2)+1: iterate aperionate
214
+ x.megote(3); // mego(x, 3)
215
+
216
+ // Level ω^(ω*2+ω): diagonalize ω^(ω*2)*y
217
+ x.aperimegote(3); // apmg(x, 3)
218
+
219
+ // Level ω^(ω*2+ω)+1: iterate aperimegote
220
+ x.megoexpande(3); // mgea(x, 3)
221
+
222
+ // Level ω^(ω^2): diagonalize ω^(ω*2)
223
+ x.megoaperionation(3); // mgao(x, 3)
224
+
225
+ // Level ω^(ω^2)+1: iterate megoaperionation
226
+ x.gigote(3); // gigo(x, 3)
227
+
228
+ // Level ω^(ω^3): diagonalize ω^(ω^2)*y
229
+ x.aperiatotion(3); // apat(x, 3)
230
+
231
+ // Level ω^(ω^3)+1: iterate aperiatotion
232
+ x.powiainate(3); // pwan(x, 3)
233
+
234
+ // Level ω^(ω^ω): universal diagonalizer (generalizes to arbitrary ordinals)
235
+ x.iter(3); // iter(x, 3)
236
+ ```
237
+
238
+ ## Inverse Operations
239
+
240
+ Each expansion operation has a corresponding inverse for decrementing ordinal structure:
241
+
242
+ ```javascript
243
+ x.i_aper(z) // inverse of aperiate
244
+ x.i_expa(z) // inverse of expande
245
+ x.i_muea(z) // inverse of multiexpande
246
+ x.i_poea(z) // inverse of powerexpande
247
+ x.i_apea(z) // inverse of aperioexpansion
248
+ x.i_expl(z) // inverse of explode
249
+ x.i_muel(z) // inverse of multiexplode
250
+ x.i_apel(z) // inverse of aperioexplode
251
+ x.i_deto(z) // inverse of detonate
252
+ x.i_apeo(z) // inverse of aperionate
253
+ x.i_mego(z) // inverse of megote
254
+ x.i_apmg(z) // inverse of aperimegote
255
+ x.i_mgea(z) // inverse of megoexpande
256
+ x.i_mgao(z) // inverse of megoaperionation
257
+ x.i_gigo(z) // inverse of gigote
258
+ x.i_apat(z) // inverse of aperiatotion
259
+ x.i_pwan(z) // inverse of powiainate
260
+ x.i_ite(z) // inverse of iter
261
+ ```
262
+
263
+ ## Layer & Serialization
264
+
265
+ ```javascript
266
+ // Layer manipulation
267
+ new MetaNum(10).layerUp(); // promote to layer+1
268
+ new MetaNum(10).layerDown(); // demote to layer-1
269
+
270
+ // Output formats
271
+ new MetaNum(123).toString(); // "123"
272
+ new MetaNum(1e308).toString(); // "E308"
273
+ new MetaNum(100).toNumber(); // 100
274
+ new MetaNum(100).valueOf(); // "100"
275
+ new MetaNum(100).toFixed(2); // "100.00"
276
+ new MetaNum(100).toExponential(2); // "1.00e+2"
277
+ new MetaNum(100).toPrecision(3); // "100"
278
+ new MetaNum(100).toHyperE(); // "100"
279
+ new MetaNum(100).toStringWithDecimalPlaces(4); // "100.0000"
280
+ new MetaNum(100).toJSON(); // {sign:1, array:[[100]], layer:0}
281
+ ```
282
+
283
+ ## Utility Functions
284
+
285
+ ```javascript
286
+ // Binomial coefficient
287
+ new MetaNum(10).choose(3); // C(10,3) = 120
288
+
289
+ // Hyper-operation
290
+ MetaNum.hyper(4, 2, 3); // 2^^3 = 16 (n=4 means tetration)
291
+
292
+ // Geometric series
293
+ MetaNum.sumGeometricSeries(5, 1, 2); // 1+2+4+8+16 = 31
294
+ MetaNum.affordGeometricSeries(100, 1, 2, 0);
295
+
296
+ // Arithmetic series
297
+ MetaNum.sumArithmeticSeries(5, 1, 2); // 1+3+5+7+9 = 25
298
+ MetaNum.affordArithmeticSeries(100, 1, 2, 0);
299
+
300
+ // Configuration
301
+ MetaNum.config({ maxRows: 200, maxCols: 200, maxArrow: 1e6, debug: 1 });
302
+ ```
303
+
304
+ ## Mathematical Background
305
+
306
+ The library implements the Hardy hierarchy (HH), which is a hierarchy of functions indexed by ordinal numbers. The representation uses Cantor normal form for ordinals, where:
307
+
308
+ - ω represents the first infinite ordinal
309
+ - ω^ω represents ω raised to the power of ω
310
+ - ε₀ is the limit of ω, ω^ω, ω^ω^ω, ...
311
+
312
+ For more information, see: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_arithmetic>
313
+
314
+ The layer parameter indicates the height of the ω exponent tower, allowing representation of increasingly large ordinals.
315
+
316
+ ## dlsdl's Letter Notation
317
+
318
+ Modified from PsiCubed's letter notation(<https://googology.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:PsiCubed2/My_Letter_Notation>)
319
+
320
+ The idea here is to extend the PsiCubed's letter notation to much larger numbers reach level ε0 of FGH or HH. The properties we wish to preserve here are:
321
+
322
+ (1) Any number has a unique standard representation in the system.
323
+
324
+ (2) Given the standard representation of two numbers, one can immediately tell which one is larger without any calculations.
325
+
326
+ ### The format of the proposed notation
327
+
328
+ Our final notation will look like this:
329
+
330
+ \[symbol]\[letter]\[number]
331
+
332
+ where \[symbol] can be one of the following: empty,!,@,#,$,%,&,……
333
+
334
+ where \[letter] can be one of the following: E,F,G,H,……,Aa,Ab,Ac,……,Ba,Bb,……,Aaa,……
335
+
336
+ and \[number] can be any positive real number (nonintegers included).
337
+
338
+ ### The First Levels: A Continuous version of Knuth Arrows
339
+
340
+ We'll define:
341
+
342
+ Eα=10^α
343
+
344
+ Fα = EEEE...EEE(10^frac(α)) with int(α) E's
345
+
346
+ Gα = FFFF...FFF(10^frac(α)) with int(α) F's
347
+
348
+ Hα = GGGG...GGG(10^frac(α)) with int(α) G's
349
+
350
+ then we'll have I,J,K,... to Z ,each with the same definition as Hα.
351
+
352
+ Note that according to these definitions we have:
353
+
354
+ (1) For α≤1: Eα = Fα = Gα = Hα = ... = Zα = 10^α
355
+
356
+ (2) For any integer β: Eβ = 10↑β, Fβ = 10↑↑β, Gβ = 10↑↑↑β, Hβ = 10↑↑↑↑β
357
+
358
+ the γ-th letter β represents 10(γ-4 arrows)β
359
+
360
+ So the above definitions are indeed an extention of Knuth arrows to nonintegers.
361
+
362
+ ### Letter-Canonical Forms
363
+
364
+ If α is a number greater than 1 and Γ is a one of the letters E,F,G,H,...,ζ then there is a unique number β such that:
365
+
366
+ α = Γβ.
367
+
368
+ And we call "Γβ" the Γ-Canonical Form of the number α.
369
+
370
+ For example, the E-Canonical form of 1000 is E3:
371
+
372
+ E3 = 10^3 = 1000.
373
+
374
+ And the F-Canonical form of 1000 is about F1.47712:
375
+
376
+ F1.47712 = E(10^0.47712) ≈ E3 = 10^3 = 1000.
377
+
378
+ ### Binary-Letter-Canonical Forms
379
+
380
+ To recreate ordinary scientific notation, we'll define a binary version of the letter functions like this:
381
+
382
+ Let Γ be one of the letters E,F,G,H,...,ζ Let β be a nonnegative integer and α be a real number between 1 and 10. Then:
383
+
384
+ αΓβ = Γ(β+log(α))
385
+
386
+ For Example:
387
+
388
+ 7E3 = E(3+log(7)) = 10^(3+log(7)) = 7\*10^3 = 7000
389
+
390
+ 7F3 = F(3+log(7)) = EEE(10^log(7)) = EEE7 = 10^10^10^7
391
+
392
+ So αEβ is nothing more than ordinary scientific notation.
393
+
394
+ And αFβ is a power tower of β 10's topped by an α.
395
+
396
+ And again, given any specific letter (E,F,G,H,...,ζ), ANY number greater than 1 has a unique representation as αΓβ (with 1≤α<β). So we can call this the Binary-Γ-Canonical Form of α.
397
+
398
+ ### Defining Aa - The First Diagonalization
399
+
400
+ In the previous section we've defined an infinite sequence of functions, so we can diagonalize over them:
401
+
402
+ let 1|α = Eα, 2|α = Fα, 3|α = Gα, ..., 22|α = Zα.
403
+
404
+ we had: Aaα = α|10.
405
+
406
+ So Aa is comparable to f\_ω\_(n) in the FGH.
407
+
408
+ But there are a couple of problems here:
409
+
410
+ (1) α|10 isn't yet defined for noninteger α.
411
+
412
+ (2) Aa1 would be 1|10 = 10^10 rather than 10 = E1 = F1 = G1 =...= Z1. This would have caused trouble later on, when we define the higher levels.To solve these two problems, we'll give a definition for α|10 and amend the definition of Aa:
413
+
414
+ (i) α|10 = (int(α)+1)|2\*5^frac(α)
415
+
416
+ (ii) For α<2: Aaα = Gα
417
+
418
+ (iii) For α≥2: Aaα = α|10
419
+
420
+ The seemingly complex expression in rule (i) simply gives us a smooth geometric curve between 2 and 10. This ensures that Aa would be continuous, given the identity 10↑(β)10 = 10↑(β+1)2.
421
+
422
+ ### Ab,Ac,Ad,...,Az and their Universal Canonical Forms
423
+
424
+ The definitions of Ab,Ac,Ad,...,Az are simple enough:
425
+
426
+ Abα = AaAa...AaAa(10^frac(α)) with int(α) Aa's
427
+
428
+ Acα = AbAb...AbAb(10^frac(α)) with int(α) Ab's
429
+
430
+ then we have Ad,Ae,...,Az, each with the same definition as Ab and Ac.
431
+
432
+ And that's it. So A(the β+1-th letter) is comparable to f\_ω+β\_(n) in the FGH.
433
+
434
+ Again we have Ab0=Ac0=Ad0=...=Az0=1, Ab1=Ac1=Ad1=...=Az1=10, and Ab,Ac,Ad,...,Az are all continuous. So any number greater than 1 has a unique Ab to Az Canonical Form.
435
+
436
+ Moreover, since Aa10=Ab2 and Ab10=Ac2, we can extend our definition of the "Universal Canonical Form" up to Az10:
437
+
438
+ (1) if α<100 (that's E2) then we write down the E-Canonical Form of α.
439
+
440
+ (2) Otherwise, we write α as Γβ for some letter combinations Γ and 2≤β<10. If there is more than one possible choice, we choose the letter combination which comes first in order.
441
+
442
+ ### Defining from Ba to Bz
443
+
444
+ We already know how to do recursion (F,G,H,I,...,ζ) and simple diagonalization (Aa) in our continuous system, so we can easily extend our system up to ω×2-level in the FGH. In order to track our progress, we'll use the format (1,β)|α and define:
445
+
446
+ (1,0)|α = Aaα
447
+
448
+ (1,β+1)|α = (1,β)|(1,β)|...|(1,β)|10^frac(α) with int(α) (1,β)'s
449
+
450
+ And define Baα in a way similar to Aaα:
451
+
452
+ (i) (1,α)|10 = (1,int(α)+1)|2\*5^frac(α)
453
+
454
+ (ii) For α<2: Baα = (1,3)|α
455
+
456
+ (iii) For α≥2: Baα = (1,α)|10
457
+
458
+ This gives rise to writing numbers in Ba-Canonical form and extend the Universal Canonical Form up to Ba10 ,which is about f\_ω×2\_(10) in the FGH.
459
+
460
+ Then we can define Bb,Bc, Bd,...,Bz with recursions in a similar way. Bbα = BaBa...BaBa(10^frac(α)) with int(α) Ba's, and Bcα = BbBb...BbBb(10^frac(α)) with int(α) Bb's, etc. B(the β+1-th letter) is comparable to f\_ω\*2+β\_(n) in the FGH.
461
+
462
+ ### A Supporting Array Notation and Aaa
463
+
464
+ We can, of-course, repeat what we did in the previous section as many times as we wish and get the following ω^2-level notation (β,γ ≥ 0 are integers, and α≥0 is real):
465
+
466
+ (i) (0,1)|α = 10^α
467
+
468
+ (ii) (β,γ+1)|α = (β,γ)|(β,γ)|...|(β,γ)|10^frac(α) with int(α) (β,γ)'s
469
+
470
+ (iii) (β,α)|10 = (β,int(α)+1)|2\*5^frac(α)
471
+
472
+ (iv) For α<2: (β+1,0)|α = (β,3)|α
473
+
474
+ (v) For α≥2: (β+1,0)|α = (β,α)|10
475
+
476
+ Note that (β,γ) is comparable to f\_ω\*β+γ\_(α) in the FGH. Also, if we read (0,γ)|α as γ|α, this notation is a direct extension of everything we did before this section. Also, in this new notation we can write Baα = (2,0)|α, Bbα = (2,1)|α,... Bzα = (2,25)|α.
477
+
478
+ So QqQe308 is about f\_ω17+16\_(f\_ω17+4\_(308)).
479
+
480
+ And with this new supporting notation we can now to define Aaaα:
481
+
482
+ (i) For α<2: Aaaα = (2,1)|α
483
+
484
+ (ii) For α≥2: Aaaα = (int(α),10\*frac(α))|10
485
+
486
+ With rule (ii) containing a very neat trick that allows us to do the double-diagonalization with a single number: Aaa1.5 = (2,1)|1.5, Aaa2.5 = (2,5)|10
487
+
488
+ At any rate, it isn't too difficult to see that Aaa behaves "nicely" and allows us to speak of Aaa-Canonical Forms of any number. And since Aaa2=Ba10, Aaa3=Ca10,..., Aaa26=Za10, this also enables us to write the Unversal Canonical Form of any number about f\_ω^2\_(10) in the FGH.
489
+
490
+ ### Arrays with more than two variable, and !Aa
491
+
492
+ Array notations can be easily extended to a multivariable array notation, like so:
493
+
494
+ (i) For α≤1: (anything)|α = 10^α
495
+
496
+ (ii) (β,γ,δ,...,ν+1)|α = (β,γ,δ,...,ν)|(β,γ,δ,...,ν)|...|(β,γ,δ,...,ν)|10^frac(α) with int(α) (β,γ,δ,...,ν)'s
497
+
498
+ (iii) (β,γ,δ,...,ν,α)|10 = (β,γ,δ,...,ν,int(α+1))|2\*5^frac(α)
499
+
500
+ (iv) For 1<α<2: (β,γ,δ,...,μ+1,<κ zeros>)|α = (β,γ,δ,...,μ,2,<κ-1 zeros>)|10^(α-1)
501
+
502
+ (v) For α≥2: (β,γ,δ,...,μ+1,<κ zeros>)|α = (β,γ,δ,...,μ,α,<κ-1 zeros>)|10
503
+
504
+ (vi) (β,γ,δ,...,α,<κ zeros>)|10 = (β,γ,δ,...,int(α),frac(α)\*10,<κ-1 zeros>)|10
505
+
506
+ (vii) (0,...,0,β,γ,δ,...,μ)|α = (β,γ,δ,...,μ)|α
507
+
508
+ The first 5 rules are a simple and direct extention of the 2-variable arrays notation, and Rule vii simply states that leading zeros can be ommitted.
509
+
510
+ Rule vi is an interesting one, though. It basically tells us that if we have an array which ends with (...,α,0,0,...,0) then the digits of the fractional part of α are to be distributed among the zeros. For example:
511
+
512
+ - (114,514,1.9198,0,0,0,0)|10 = (114,514,1,9,1,9,8)|10.
513
+
514
+ Now, all that is left to do is to define !Aa, which is about f\_ω^ω\_(10) in the FGH.
515
+
516
+ For α<2: !Aaα = (1,0,1)|α
517
+
518
+ For α≥2: !Aaα = (10^frac(α),0,...,0)|10 with int(α) zeros.
519
+
520
+ Then we have !Aa2 = Aaa10, !Aa3 = Aaaa10,... Just like the previous letters, any number can be written as !Aaα. Here, it is actually the binary form of α!Aaβ = !Aa(β+logα) which has the most intuitive meaning for β≥2:
521
+
522
+ In terms of the array notation, β+1 tells us how many numbers are in the array and the digits of α tell us the what those numbers are. For example: 1.2345!Aa4 = (1,2,3,4,5)|10
523
+
524
+ And in terms of FGH ordinals, β gives us the maximum power of ω and the digits of α give us the coefficents of the various powers of ω: 1.2345!Aa4 \~ f\_ω^4+ω^3\*2+ω^2\*3+ω\*4+5\_(10). Actually, these neat relations are also true for β=1 and α≥2, so 2.5!Aa1 = (2,5)|10.
525
+
526
+ ### Higher dimensional arrays and @Aa
527
+
528
+ With the definition of the array notation and the symbol !, one can easily define palanar array notation function. In this notation, the comma is short for \[0], and the dimensional seperator is \[1], ζ's represent 0's and dimensional seperators (or can be empty) and κ zeroes. κ+1 zerores means a group of zeroes and dimensional seperators starting with at least 1 zero. κ zeroes is that but it doesn't need to start with a zero.
529
+
530
+ (i) Other rules are the same from linear array notation
531
+
532
+ (ii) (β,γ,δ,...,μ+1\[1]0,ζ)|α = (β,γ,δ,...,μ\[1]1,0,0,ζ)|10^(x-1) for 1\<x<2
533
+
534
+ (iii) (β,γ,δ,...,μ+1\[1]0,ζ)|α = (β,γ,δ,...,μ\[1]10^frac(x),0,...,0,ζ)|10 with int(x) 0's for x=>2
535
+
536
+ (iv) (β,γ,δ,...,α\[1]0,ζ)|10, κ = frac(α)\*10
537
+
538
+ It equals to (β,γ,δ,...,int(α)\[1]10^frac(κ),0,...,0,ζ)|10 with int(κ) 0's where κ >=1 or there is only 1 \[1] and there is a 1 before it, or (β,γ,δ,...,int(α)\[1]frac(κ),ζ)|10 otherwise
539
+
540
+ (v) (...\[1]0,...,0,β,γ...)|α = (...\[1]β,γ...)|α
541
+
542
+ Rule 2 and 3 are the case where the last nonzero entry is at the end of a plane and is an integer. Rule 4 is when the last nonzero entry is at the end of a plane, you use the fractional part of the last entry, and put it in the next row.
543
+
544
+ By adding ! before a letter notation, it changes from HH to FGH. Aa represents H\_ω, so !Aa represents f\_ω which equals to H\_ω^ω. Then we can define !Ab (f\_ω^(ω+1)_(10) in FGH), !Ac, !Ad,..., !Az with the same meaning as !Aa, and !Ba(f\_ω^(ω2)_(10) in FGH), !Bb, !Bc, ..., !Bz, !Aaa, etc. Comparing these with the previous letters, we can see that notations with ! symbol have a more ω^ in FGH than those without ! symbol.
545
+
546
+ Fractional number of rows, columns, etc.. are defined in the same way as in the linear array notation, \[0] is the comma. ζ is an array of 0's and dimensional seperators.
547
+
548
+ For level comparison, first compare the levels of the highest-leveled seperators. If they are equal, then compare the number of highest-leveled subseperators. If there are the same number, compare everything in the seperator after the last occurance of the highest-leveled seperator in a seperator. If they are equal, do that with the string before the last ocurrence of the highest-leveled seperator. If they are the same, the seperators have the same level.
549
+
550
+ Now, all that is left to do is to define @Aa, which is about f\_ω^ω^ω\_(10) in the FGH.
551
+
552
+ For α<2: @Aaα = (1\[1,0,0]0)|α
553
+
554
+ For α≥2: @Aaα = (1\[10^frac(α),0,...,0]0)|10 with int(α) zeros.
555
+
556
+ ### Nested arrays and more symbols
557
+
558
+ The Definiton of more symbols is similar to the definition of @Aa.
559
+
560
+ \#Aa \~ f\_ω^ω^ω^ω\_(10)
561
+
562
+ $Aa \~ f\_ω^ω^ω^ω^ω\_(10)
563
+
564
+ And there are more symbols : % & \~ < > ? and symbol combinations like !!, !@, !#, @!.
565
+
566
+ Then we can define (the β-th symbol or symbol combination)Aa = f\_ω^ω^...^ω(β+1 ω's)\_(10)
567
+
568
+ ### Definition of the final letter: ε
569
+
570
+ ε represents exponent tower layers of ω, and it is comparable to f\_ε0\_(10) in the FGH.
571
+
572
+ αεβ \~ f\_ω^ω^...^ω(β ω's)\_(α)
573
+
574
+ #### Using dlsdl's letter notation, the biggest number we can define in Metanum is about ε1.797e308.
