It does. And it is a countable union.You remember a proof by Feferman and Levy?

All paths that you can tink of and anything else is encoded in th elist above. Real numbers are not encoded as infinite sequences, though, because it is impossible to write infinite sequences. That is the main reason, why you and others never have written pi or 3.1415... as an infinite sequence. It is impossible. > > Your own specification required a SET OF PATHS: > "you will not be able to distinguish your path from > the set of paths that I have used for construction
