July 21, 2017 by Nayuta Ito

This is a parody of Dumb Ways To Die.

Use infinity without care

Give a cent to a illion-aire

Use your private friends for evidence in debate

Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die

Dumb ways to di-i-i-ie , so many dumb ways to die

• ## BMS encoded to 1 symbol system

Basicu matrix system is currently the 2nd fastest function that can be computed in the Googology with the notation-type expression. I like to thanks to PsiCubed2 to improve my encoding!

There are 15 symbols being used in BMS:

• ( and ) brackets (Groups of 2 symbols)
• $$0^{40946385504}$$ (Convert to unary, replacing it with the number to amount of 0s, 1-symbol system, end)
• ## How To Googology 1: New Googologist Mistakes

July 18, 2017 by Alemagno12

There have been some new people joining the wiki lately, so I decided to make a series of blogs to help new people get started on googology. In this chapter, I will look at some of the mistakes that new googologists make.

WIP!

So you are new in googology, and you're trying to define a larger number than the current largest defined number, because that's what googology is about, right? One of the mistakes that some new googologists make is thinking that googology is about beating the largest number defined by defining a bigger one, or by defining the biggest number possible. But it's not only that: it's also about defining other large numbers, defining ways to define numbers, checking how large a large number is, checking how large are the nu…

July 18, 2017 by Mr. Junky

So I have had this question for a while.

I know that {a,b,c} is a(b $$\uparrow$$s) to c

But when it does something like {a,b,c,d) I have no idea how d affects this number. How exactly does d change {a,b,c}?

Thus I have a question. In simple terms, how exactly do entries beyond the 3rd entry change the number being defined. We can do {a,b,c,d,e} but then how does e change {a,b,c,d) and we can do {a,b,c,d,e,f} but then how does f change {a,b,c,d,e} and so on? In arithmetic terms please.

• ## Aarex's Array Notation

Aarex's Array Notation is my main notation I will use for large numbers. You can find the other extensions in my site.

It is going to be original. I will never, ever stealing ideas.

Simple AAN (sAAN) is the first extension of AAN. First, I will introduces the main rules and definition.

I go with definition first. The people will say 'What is the definition' if I am going with main rules first.

The definition of sAAN is a notation that expressed as a(A), where A is non-negative integers separated by the comma. The first entry is base and the second entry is co-base. The rest of the entries expressed as a hashtag and new copies of the group remain the same.

• a(a,b,0) = ab
• a()[d]

If all of main rules doesn't apply, we start at the fourth entry in the p…

• ## Psi function type I and II comparison.

July 16, 2017 by Bubby3

The function types diverge at $$\Omega_2$$

Here is the comparison.

Function A Function B
$$\psi(\psi_1(\Omega_2))$$ $$\psi(\Omega_2)$$
$$\psi(\psi_1(\Omega_2)+1)$$ $$\psi(\Omega_2+1)$$
$$\psi(\psi_1(\Omega_2)+\Omega)$$ $$\psi(\Omega_2+\Omega)$$
$$\psi(\psi_1(\Omega_2)*2)$$ $$\psi(\Omega_2+\psi_1(\Omega_2))$$
$$\psi(\psi_1(\Omega_2+1))$$ $$\psi(\Omega_2+\psi_1(\Omega_2+1))$$
$$\psi(\psi_1(\Omega_2+\Omega))$$ $$\psi(\Omega_2+\psi_1(\Omega_2+\Omega))$$
$$\psi(\psi_1(\Omega_2+\psi_1(\Omega_2)))$$ $$\psi(\Omega_2+\psi_1(\Omega_2+\psi_1(\Omega_2)))$$
$$\psi(\psi_1(\Omega_2*2))$$ $$\psi(\Omega_2*2)$$

So the function catches up at $$\Omega_2*2$$ and all multiples of $$\Omega_2$$.

I like Function B better because it is more extensible.

• ## New numbers! No salad numbers!!

July 14, 2017 by Mr. Junky

I would like to define a few non salad numbers below to start here (I know how you guys feel about salad numbers).

Basmati RICE: RICE[5](1000,100,10,10)

RICEten: RICE[10](10,10,10,10)

GoogolRICE: RICE[googol](googol,googol,googol,googol) Note: googol=10^100

RICEplex: RICE[googolplex](googolplex,googolplex,googolplex,googolplex) Note: googolplex equals 10^googol, 10^(10^100) to simplify in just simple scientific notation.

Would want to define larger but would be salad/transinfinite/hot mess. Eh what the heck.

InfiRICE: RICE[infinity](infinity,infinity,infinity,infinity) a very powerful transinfinity, just for fun. Maybe even the smallest trans transinfinity!🤔

Also. I would like to give 1 very powerful quote from myself.

July 13, 2017 by Mr. Junky

I was searching for a long time a place to express my talent for large number making. I found this after a month or so when I came up with the idea to search for a large number wikia. I have been fascinated by your talents for months as a fandom user. Eventually I decided finally to stop shying away and join as a user. Would you please welcome me to your community? I also have some experience in googology from you guys. I know all about salad numbers, Rayo function, FOST, and so on. Also, I have past experience defining googological functions. One that has properties that allows it to be finite, infinite and transinfinite.

• ## Growth Rate ε(0)−1

July 13, 2017 by Hyp cos

What's the growth rate of Goodstein function? $$\varepsilon_0$$?

No. Unlike Hydra function and Worm function, which are comparable to $$f_{\varepsilon_0}(n)$$, Goodstein function has some "cost" - $$G(2\uparrow\uparrow n)\approx f_{\varepsilon_0}(n)$$. By the definition of "functional approximation":

$$f\ge^*g$$ if there exists k such that for all n > 0, $$f(n+k)\ge g(n)$$

and

$$f\approx g$$ if $$f\ge^*g$$ and $$g\ge^*f$$

Goodstein function is not comparable to $$f_{\varepsilon_0}(n)$$. Currently we don't have a compact notation to express the growth rate of it. However, in this blog post I won't consider this thing. Instead, I'll consider what it "costs" and extend it. Goodstein has a 3-level cost under $$\varepsilon_0$$, since $$G(f_3(n))\app… Read more > • ## The 1st number officially generated via my newly defined array notation.

A TL;DR is provided at the end of each subsection of text, but please read through properly before commenting. Breakdown of classic definition of 'googology': We all (well, most of us) know what googology is, as a hobby. To quote the main page: "Googology is the mathematical study of large numbers, their properties, and their nomenclature." However, I don't think this is accurate, from either a hobbyist's or mathematician's perspective. In particular, large numbers don't have any natural noteworthy properties (known or theorised, afaik), aside from being above certain boundaries, and these are mostly pre-tetration.

I would like to honor my Middle School Vice Principal Mike Rice as I leave him and move on to High School.

Note: This is going to be the largest function I have ever defined, definitely bigger than FOOT AND Rayo combined. It is also finite, infinite and transinfinite at the same time. According to the definition of googology, because it is finite for finite inputs into it, it still counts as a googological function regardless of involving infinities and transinfinities at infinite and transinfinite inputs consecutively.

Are you okay with the situation on the mainspace right now, where people add more and more stub articles for obscure user-made numbers? Numbers which they don't even have something to say about?

Because this is getting ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous, is that the wiki actually rewards the people who do so with badges and points (and I'm willing to bet that some people are doing this for the sole purpose of earning these points).

In my opinion, the mainspace has turned into a complete farce. We should have actual notability criteria for numbers, and the main criteria should be "if a bot could have created the article you just wrote, it shouldn't be there in the first place".

• ## My idea for a new notation.

June 22, 2017 by Primussupremus

A few days ago I was experimenting with a new type of notation that is similar to BEAF but at the same time is vastly different,

Define:

{a} = a.

{a,b} = a^b

{a,b,c} = a{b up arrows}c.

{a,b,c,d} = {a,b,c} recursed d-1 times.

To give an example of each of the 4 base levels we have:

{3} = 3.

{3,3} = 3^3 = 27.

{3,3,3} = 3{ 3 up arrows} 3 =

{3,3,3,3} = 3{(3{(3{3 up arrows}3) up arrows}3)up arrows}3.

To make this a bit clearer here is a brief explanation using letters and numbers.

Now that we have that defined we can move on to 5+ entry arrays.

{a,b,c,d,e} = {a,b,c,d} recursed ({a,b,c,d}-1) times for n>0.

Generally for an array of length k ( a k tuple) > 4 you recurse it ({k-1 tuple}-1) times.

Now lets move on to using the array of operator in my array notati…

• ## BIG FOOT Primussupremus.0

June 21, 2017 by Superman37891

I have seen Primussupremus's first googolism defined using his notation, which gave me a great idea. I will define BIG FOOT Primussupremus.0 below using his notation. Note: This is just for fun, I already know that this is a salad and that it doesn't improve BIG FOOT by any significant amount.

{BIG FOOT, BIG FOOT, BIG FOOT| BIG FOOT, BIG FOOT#BIG FOOT}.

Edit: LOL, I have no idea how his notation works but I know it will easily beat his Ternarygollumtree. Credit for the array notation goes to Primussupremus.

June 21, 2017 by Superman37891

I mean I already got that Rayo was the fastest growing function until 2014, only to be beaten by FOOT/FOST and nothing else as of today. I know that Rayo has some exotic stuff that gives it just the strength it has. I wanted to learn exactly how Rayo works, so I went to the page. But when I go to the explanation of the Rayo function, all I see is $$\phi \Psi \Theta \aleph \chi \delta \epsilon \Leftrightarrow \leftrightarrow \nabla \partial \eth \Im \Re \int \iint \iiint \iiiint$$\. And even wierder random stuff(I know that this notation will definitely not exist, just stated it to give an idea of how confusing Rayo is to understand based on the description of the Rayo function on the page Rayo's number). The only real thing I don't like is…

• ## The first official Googolism defined using my notation.

June 21, 2017 by Primussupremus

This is the first official googolism defined using my notation {3,7,3| 3,7#3} = Ternarygollumtree number.

I chose the name because it sounded kind of funny but also meaningful as gollum dies in the 3rd lotr book/film tree rhymes with 3 and Ternary is also related to the number 3.

Later on I hope to create a stronger notation using an original extension to a BEAF style array that can produce some pretty phenomenal results.

• ## IQ Googological

June 17, 2017 by Superman37891

I would like to define IQ googological. It is the minimum IQ required to become an expert googologist. It is defined below using my Tetration Tower Notation.

(Rayo's #, Rayo's #, Rayo's #,...)Rayo^Rayo^Rayo^Rayo^Rayo...^10^Rayo's# With Rayo's # Rayo's #s inside the brackets and Rayo's # Rayo(s) afterwards before ^10^Rayo's #

Rayo's # just means Rayo(10^100) as originally defined as Rayo's # by Augustin Rayo

• ## Array notation rule set.

June 14, 2017 by Primussupremus

Here is the rule set for my notation from: {a,b,c} to {a,b,c|d,k#p}

[a,1,c] = a+c [a,2,c] = a*c [a,b,c] = a{b-2}c if c > 2 [a,b,c|0] = [a,b,c] [a,b,c|d] = [a,[a,b,c|d-1],c|d-1] [a,b,c|d,0] = [a,b,c|d] [a,b,c|d,e] = [a,b,c|[a,b,c|d,e-1]]

Now on to {a,b,c|d,k#p}

[a,b,c|@,0] = [a,b,c|@] (@ is any string) [a,b,c|@,p,q] = [a,b,c|@,[a,b,c|@,p,q-1]]

Finally:

[a,b,c|d,k#p] = [a,b,c|(p d's),k]

So how do you think of that rule set.

• ## Fast growing hierarchy of analytic functions

June 12, 2017 by LittlePeng9

Extending the hyperoperators to all real or complex values is a known open problem. Some time ago I had a somewhat converse idea on how to approach this - instead of starting with a fast growing function(s) on natural numbers and extending it to more inputs, we can directly construct a sequence of fast growing functions defined for all complex values. I do not claim this is of as much interest as extending hyperoperators, but might nevertheless be interesting for some.

Suppose we have chosen a system of fundamental sequences for countable limit ordinals up to some bound. We now construct a sequence $$f_\alpha:\mathbb C\rightarrow\mathbb C$$ which satisfies the following propertes:

1. $$f_\alpha$$ is an ,
2. $$f_\alpha(z)\in(0,\infty)$$ for \(z\in\m…
• ## Ridiculously strong ordinal hyper-operations

June 11, 2017 by Bubby3

Everything up to w^^(w^2) is from Sbiis Sabian's examples.

w^^(w^2+1)= phi(w,0) = w^^(w^w) in Saibain's example.

It is too complicated to exmplain. I don't know how it works between w^^(w^2) and w^^(w^2+1), but here is a guess.

We now invent the >> operator. (#^^##)>>#= #^^### in Saibian's current system. Here are some comparisons,

(#^^##)>>(#+#)= #^^####

(#^^##)>>(##)=#^^#^#

1. ^^### = #^^^#

(#^^###)>># = #^^^##

This gets really complicated

By w^^(w^w), we are already at BHO. This is strong.

w^^^3, or w^^(w^^w) has level W_w.

w^^^w is as strong as Bashicu matrix system and we are only at pentation. This is very strong.

I don't know how the higher hyper-operators work.

• ## Rayo attempt the sequel

June 11, 2017 by Superman37891

Welcome to Rayo's Attempt The Sequel!

I need to define a few things first though(I don't know how to do subscript, I will use [n] instead to replace subscript]

Start from Rayo[1] which is just Rayo's function 1 time

Rayo[n]^x(Y) is Rayo[n] iterated x times to y

Rayo[n+1]^ assumes Rayo[n+1] is Rayo[n] iterated Rayo(10^100) times

So now I will start

Let's set Rayo[googolplex](10^100) equal to JASON(best thing I could come up with)

Rayo[JASON](10^100) is equal to POLLUTION (This number is LARGE, as it is supposed to represent the evil of pollution to 🌏 when it was tricking the public into developing it to destroy earth and be dependent on it)

Rayo[POLLUTION](10^100) is equal to DISPOSAL AND RENEWAL (The number representing how much good we could do f…

• ## Systematically creating the rule set of my notation.

June 10, 2017 by Primussupremus

After being away for quite a while from the wiki I decided to come back and try and create a better rule set for my notation starting at {a,b,c}.

I will first show them examples then develop a rule set from that.

{a,b,c} = {a (b-2 up arrows c}

for: b< 3 = a*b for b= 2 and a+b for b=1.

If  b >= 3 apply the rule in line 1.

Now that I've got the rule set down for {a,b,c} I can start to give some examples:

{1,1,1} = 1+1 = 2.

{2,2,2} = 2*2 = 4.

{3,3,3} = 3^3 = 27.

{4,4,4} = 4(2 up arrows) 4.

{5,5,5} = 5( 3 up arrows) 5.

{6,6,6} = 6( 4 up arrows) 6.

{7,7,7} = 7(5 up arrows) 7.

{8,8,8} = 8(6 up arrows) 8.

{9,9,9} = 9(7 up arrows) 9.

{10,10,10} = 10(8 up arrows)10.

Now that I have given some examples I will write down a unique name for each of these examples:

{1,1…

• ## Attempt to use Rayo function

June 8, 2017 by Superman37891

I want to get your feedback on defining an extended version of the Rayo function. I want to try something, and you can tell me simple ways to make it larger if you want. Just is you know, yes, I do know that it is using another predefined function, but I also want to see whether it is still a salad number or not. It is defined below

Rayo^200,000(10^100,000)

Keep in mind, yes, I had to try very hard to not use any predefined numbers, if I would have my number would have been so much larger, though some tiny simpler tweak could beat it since Rayo is so strong it can destroy the entire Omniverse.

Based on PsiCubed2's comment and my confirmation, I have edited the definition to simplest form. When I say Rayo^200,000, I do mean that it is Rayo's f…

• ## Béktelsson's Exponential Triangle Sequence

June 7, 2017 by O.murphy.b.123

Today I created a sequence of numbers called the Bektelsson Exponential Triangle Sequence (or BExTr[]) In this sequence BExTr[a] = the first a triangular numbers ^^^^... ^^^ to each other in which there are a - 3 arrows.

The number 1 is not considered a triangular number in this function, because that would lead to an infinite loop of ones

For example, BExTr[1] = 3

BExTr[2] = 3 + 6 = 9

BExTr[3] = 3 x 6 x 10 = 180

BExTr[4] = 3 ^ 6 ^ 10 ^ 15

BExTr[5] = 3 ^^ 6 ^^ 10 ^^ 15 ^^ 21

BExTr[6] = 3 ^^^ 6 ^^^ 10 ^^^ 15 ^^^ 21 ^^^ 28

And so on.

I have created the suffix -suuri, so that a-suuri = BExTr[a]

Tensuuri = BExTr[10]

Hundredsuuri = BExTr[100]

Thousandsuuri = BExTr[1000]

BExTr[googol] = googolsuuri = schmoogol

Bischmoogol = BExTr[schmoogol]

Trischmoogol = BExTr…
