I think this answered what I asked *grin* I'll go ahead and continue the
proofing.
These aren't formulas though, it's about cantor's hypothesis, lots of
alephs, bets, infinity signs; notations rather than formulas, though there
are a few of those too.
It'll be another couple months probably before I'm done with it though, I
can only do about 10 pages a week. : p
