@winnipegfreepress I was imagining multiple buildings, each containing the #LibraryOfBabel , but the Illinois Secretary of State denies it: "We are not saying that every book should be in every single library."

My bookselling soul is always happy when a reader asks for Borges.

Touched up my writeup for my #libraryofbabel game with some better descriptions, images, and code snippets: https://mathematastic.com/total-library

@bookstodon

The 'Library of Babel' contains every possible book, but it's not infinite: merely very, very big indeed. Each page of each volume lists a possible combination of letters, numbers and punctuation, so the library included anything that could be written, including an account of your funeral - as well as an identical account containing a single typo. There's a website that provides pages, plus a 'canvas' of *every possible image*.

@Capheind Have you read the Borges story (I always forget if it's Umberto Eco or Jorge Luis Borges)?

jwz's spent a lot of time trying to visualize it:

I spent a long time trying to build it in such a way that I could inflict it on an RPG group, and wasn't really successful, but they were nonplussed at "all text is in there somewhere!" which I found almost obsessively interesting.
