Dear Hal, you wrote as IMO the 'fundamental' statement:
*1) Assumption # A1: There exists a set consisting of all possible divisors. Call this set "A". * *"A" encompasses every distinction.* Possible as per what? our present inventory of knowledge, or including what we would deem impossible today? How about the presently unknown/unknowable but included into "Everything" (A?) as additional items, qualia, functions and divisors we have not the faintest idea about in today's inventory of our knowledge? This is my Agnosticism talking, 'assuming' more than our past - or present - mental inventory even in some anticipatory and reverse-causational etc. enhancement.
