Ha — you do know about this! That’s a big number, but Rayo(10^100) is bigger, albeit a bit of a cheat.
I got mad half way through reading this because everybody knows Rayo is cheating, but you repented, so we’re all good.
Fair! But the fascinating thing about the TREE function is that comes from a simple game of sorts, whereas Graham’s number (for example) is built mechanistically. TREE is like evolution, Graham’s like AI. And G(1) is 3 ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑3, but TREE(1) is only 1! Amazing it overtakes it by a mile at 3. I think about that a lot.
