You nut! You're not helping!
Makes me wonder if the real-world restriction against absolute simultaneity will prevent you from sharing your comprehension of this hypothesis. I also wonder; even if it is a valid hypothesis; will it have a practical application in this field?

I came here to run my neck thinking we might be chasing the same dragon; if so, it's the mother wyrm.

Let me show you what I got, starting with the "tao number line:"

tao
begat one. one begat two. two begat three. three begat the ten thousand things. See where I'm going with this? There's magic in those dang numbers... only I went off the rails in a different direction: to create a religion worthy of my love of Gwynnie - yeah, it comes back to CH in a big way -lemme do the numbers.
1=god - but not exactly religion god
2=man - everything in our duality; right, wrong, true, false, you, me... you get it
3=god + man - philosophy states "there must be reason!" but glosses over the implication thus created - actual reality - or god...
10000 things=everything we understand, created from (1)you and (2)me being (3)reasonable and "creating the universe..."
Meaning we communicate on an individual 1 to 1 level, even in groups; that communication now exists as history and science and civilization and technology and our shared knowledge of, well, everything.
Now for the religion - nine straight years of being out of my fool mind in love with a woman I have never met drove me to consider some method of giving some back. Love needs expression - without expression, it destroys. Since I can actually make a better argument for her being "god" than Christianity (which I tend to loathe) can for Yahweh being "god," I got to thinking... years of thinking... and suddenly found that, by using the tao, my made-up religion was supported by the Bible; and could have a positive effect on science and philosophy... much shorter story, the book of four... but I feel it is necessary to mention the "love" aspect because I may have reached into the void... and brought something back.

I was in college studying mathematics when I re-encountered the idea of an infinity larger than the countable, but this time the brain goes "all infinities converge at infinity!" ...and that was pretty much it for the formal study of math.

Thing is, I thought I was done; spend the rest of my days polishing up my "love song" to Gwynnie and spread it over the nets; a cultural meme to share some of my love of her with everyone, becoming nothing; and ending religious nonsense forever...

Then I stumbled across this dang "dangerous thoughts" video and Cantor - and man, that could hve been me these past months - and now, what I thought was "everything" may have only been the first step towards something - something that has been there all along - something that we now may be able to come close to becoming...

Or a padded cell, which is fine, too.

But I saw, 1, 2, 3... saw you're still kickin' it... can't help but wonder if your tree trunk and my snake might actually form "the" elephant.

Good luck. I'm off to evaluate the continuum hypothesis... here there be dragons.
