Because it's a naive definition of a sequence that sometimes directly
contradicts the definition of diagonal.

A diagonal is a construction, just like LIST(1,1) . LIST(1,2) .
LIST(2,3) . LIST(2,4) . ...
is a construction.

There are oo like constructions equally as valid as the diagonal, and
it's kindergarten maths that you can't make a diagonal-like#
construction that equals an anti-row.

# = LIST(a,1) . LIST(b,2) . LIST(c,3) ...

Trivial kindergarten maths Will.

You NEVER create a unique seq. like

12
34

14 -> 25

THAT NEVER HAPPENS

and you NEVER get to choose the diagonal, there are oo sequences I can
give you independant of the list.

The only clause to the independence of the generalised diagonal to an
infinite digit plane is anti-rows.

Cantor's proof is ALL OVER THE PLACE.

You have supporting 'proofs' that are nothing more than conjecture,
about a dozen of them.

BUT... the WHOLE sequence seems different
BUT... who cares if there's no finite unique sequence, finite = bad
keyword like saying 'cheat' in a Texas bar
BUT... irrationals don't occur on finite digit string lists so...
BUT... you can't give me an anti-row for the diagonal so....
BUT...

BUT NOTHING WILL.

None of your counter arguments DEDUCE ANYTHING.

Why do you think...

X--
-X-
--X

produces a unique sequence when the order of the list is not even
given!

There is no diagonal on inifinite lists.

Just like there is nowhere to put your first [p] on my diagonal set.


Digit 1 of diagonal


-1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8--9--0-
[P][P][P][P][P][P][P][P][P][P]


Try some MATHS Will, not a foregone conclusion WHERE IS THE ANT-
DIAGONAL?

There are INFINITY of them, it's 100% white noise.
