He is right though, since the library of babel is exactly the opposite infinite possibility. It exactly shows possibility is finite. Using the term infinite or almost infinite is incorrect. The number related to the library of babel is nowhere near infinity, just like any other number. It's not even that big of a number as far as big numbers is concerned. i.e. unimaginably smaller than graham's number.

I love Borges's theory fiction but this infinite library...I just can't find it interesting at all. Isn't it just that thing we learn in school, that monkeys would eventually write the works of shakespeare etc. In that sense, how is it really a 'thought experiment'. There seems to be no question, problem, or paradox at its heart...?

Good video. I've always been fascinated by the Library of Babel. There's a Novella called "A Short Stay In Hell" by Stephen L Peck about a man who dies and gets sent to the Library of Babel. It's a decent read, well worth checking out for anyone who's interested in this concept.

It was, without a doubt, the most haunting book I have ever read and it's interesting because the author is a Mormon who teaches at BYU, so the premise is very interesting, as is his intent. He knew we Mormons were capable of such existential terror lol but I highly recommend that book (I promise, it's not religious. It just thematically deals with and investigates religion )

A big chunk of Borges' literature pivots around the infinite or an all-containing entity; always, even in "Funes el memorioso", the impossibility of humans to comprehend the infinite and the totality of the universe and the momentaneous is addressed. Totalities are for Gods

Good News: Seemingly endless entertainment, the amount of permutations possible leads to literally any book possible to be made. Bad News: It will essentially take you an eternity to find much that makes sense, much less anything that you'd like

That means my own work,-- (I write and also compose) all of it is saved from death for eternity, and has already existed forever in the great Library somewhere. It will all still be there after the entire human race is gone, after this planet is gone; after the last proton decays. I simply learned how to be a good navigator in the Library and managed to find things in it. That is where our agency is as humans: we don't get anywhere searching randomly, but we can learn to navigate the Infinite, and some are better at navigating it than others. The best are our 'greats', in writing and in music. Since you are discovering these pearls of the infinite and not creating them, the joy of art is in actually experiencing your 'creation' itself, just as any member of your audience would; to receive it like any of they would, like a stranger, like it came from outside of you- because it did come from outside of you. If you compose a piece of music, you should take joy in actually listening to it yourself like anyone else would, not in the prideful fact of your having 'created' it.

This esoteric knowledge you drop🔥🙌

To me the library of babel reassures me that given enough time, mankind will unlock all possible mysteries our universe holds. Because the number of books containing everything is finite, the amount of time to search it is finite too. My question is what will happen when all possible knowledge has been uncovered. Isn't the purpose of life to evolve, learn and grow?

The thing is the LoB code, assuming it’s still public (it was way back when Vsauce did a video on it), is that the code doesn’t actually operate according to the narrative. All the code does is create a unique hash for data chunks which it then translates into the LoB address scheme. However, the code creates those hash addresses dynamically in blocks, meaning there is already a mismatch with the narration, i.e. there is no “infinite card catalog” at any point, only a dynamically created window around the addressed segment. Were this how the real library worked, it would be as if each row of shelves only exists when you’re in that aisle. But there’s another, bigger problem. The basic concept of LoB violates a fundamental tenant of information theory in that you can never assemble a scheme to address truly random data in which the address size is less than the actual data size. In other words, the “card catalog addresses” you’d need to refer to any meaningful data would invariably be longer than the actual data referenced. Addressing schemes require that there be known constraints on the randomness of the addressed data such that most possible combinations can be eliminated by premise.

There is a volume with every celestial object in the new messier catalogue. Somewhere, hidden within the depths of library of babel.

The library then, is simply a manifestation of the choices of letters that a keyboard gives you to write anything you want... An image of the "realm of thoughts"... An embodiment of possibilities. Library or not, every thought we have and everything we do or will do has already been a possibility. The real question is, do possibilities only come to existence when we think of them or do we only find out about their existence when they come to our attention?

It is important to note that there is a limit based on the sequence of letters in the book and the number of letters in the alphabet... but It is still vast and mind blowing. What is more scary is that the "book of sand" is probably more vast and maybe infinite compared to the library. It has words and images. The images could be ranging from something depicting a specific eldritch entity lost amounts the stars from epochs ago to just a random sequence of pixels that has never been produced. You want to destroy it by shredding it or burning it? Either the world will drown in a sea of confetti or will suffocate in a forever burning fire the size of the book.

15:49 I've wondered about that. Obviously you wouldn't be able to store 10e4677 books of 1.2 million characters each with 8 bits per character. There aren't enough Planck volumes in the observable universe for that. Using an algorithm makes sense, but every time you search a passage from a book, it gives you the same book. You can also reverse search that, I believe, looking for a passage by inputting numbers for several variables to narrow down your search. But that still requires storage space, right? Otherwise looking up (for example) this comment would result in a different page of a different book every time

So that means all the songs in the universe have already been made? Oh I'm going to be rich

I honestly think it's a riddle, and I just solved it.

If it can be expressed in the alphabet, its in there.

After two years I have returned with a librarianship degree, and I have to say, if you can't even retrieve the book you want, thid library sucks

In person I'm kidding jkjkjk AHAHA

Here's a scary thought, encode the letters as church numerals and apply lambda calculus (in accordance with "To mock a mockingbird") then one has a library of all possible mathematical permutations and calculations. But also take into account that Veritasium has demonstrated there is gaps in mathematics, areas of maths that cannot be proven. Thus meaning there is gaps in the Library of Babel itself.

@@zekodun Because what you said makes no sense the library contains all possible strings of letters, periods, and commas. Although the library doesn't have a proof for every mathematical statement that doesn't mean it has a hole

@@trappedcosmos M8 I think you taking my off hand statement it too literal or ignorant of the origins of cryptography where letters were assigned numerical values, let alone about number there and lambda calculus. I'm going to go with the latter so not to be a jerk. Alling Turing and Elanso Church proved that anything calculable can be calculated by simple boolean math and functions of that boolean math. In this discovery they defined that certain terms have commonly accepted names: I := λx.x S := λx.λy.λz.x z (y z) K := λx.λy.x B := λx.λy.λz.x (y z) C := λx.λy.λz.x z y W := λx.λy.x y y ω or Δ := λx.x x Ω := ω ω Where the function I(x) returns its parameter x and K takes x,y and returns x while S takes x,y,z then applies z to y as a value to z and x, Between those three (ISK) alone one can define the whole of mathematics in all its variations. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKI_combinator_calculus So yes, the library of babel also contains all things that can be calculated given that it also contains the sum of all mathematics as lambda calculus functions and church encoded numbers.

Theory: since The Library of Babel is (possibly) infinite and language isn't then this library is an interdimensional space.

I have a really epic video idea for you!

Bruh is the library of babel an omniscient library?

Die is pronounced "dee" in German ;)
