Past stage

Creating the universe at home

This first phase involves a lot of planning, drawing, needles plus some maths...

Starting

Surface of the universe

Once having started, you will be finding and creating your piece of the universe with us. The surface of the mathematical universe that we are thus creating is colourful and it is perfectly fine to stay at the surface forever, where you can play with numerous different patterns.

Getting on

Deeper look at our creation

If you are ready to take a deeper look at our creation, be prepared to encounter some surprises.

High speed

For instance, the mathematical universe is growing at such a high speed that it will take some thoughts to grasp it or to grasp that we can't grasp it.

Complexity

The mathematical universe presents essentially all mathematical objects purely by their complexity. So we are dealing with an extremely fast growing complexity!

Beyond infinity

As for mathematicians infinity is not complex enough, we will have to go beyond that...

Paradoxes

The universe of mathematics is a thought development. Thoughts of such complexity are there for some reason. You will have the chance to learn more about the role of the universe. Warning: will contain paradoxes!

Existence

Does the mathematical universe exist? What is the existential status of the universe in mathematics? What is the existential status of the universe in arts?

Object

What type of object is the universe we are creating?

Questions

Discussions on mathematics, philosophy and art are warmly welcome!

∞ random walks

through the universe

Most of our time we are spending in the first few levels of the universe, for good reasons. In order to get a sense of what is going on in higher levels, we will make a random walk through higher levels.
