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.
