Note for the chapter “Climbing the Ordinal Tower”: I often mention “this to the power of this infinitely…”, or “infinite epsilons above this…”. When I word things like this, what I really mean is to take the limit, or supremum, as we approach doing that operation infinitely. I have chosen this wording to make things more intuitive to the viewer and those who may have zero ordinal arithmetic knowledge. This chapter is not meant to be a detailed explanation of ordinal arithmetic.
