Rethinking Cantor: Infinite Iterations and the Cardinality of the Reals

Abstract

In this paper, I introduce an iterative method aimed at exploring numbers within the interval [0, 1]. Beginning with a foundational set, S0, a series of algorithms are employed to expand and refine this set. Each algorithm has its designated role, from incorporating irrational numbers to navigating non-deterministic properties. With each successive iteration, our set grows, and after infinite iterations, its cardinality is proposed to align with that of the real numbers. This work is an initial exploration into this approach, and further investigation is encouraged to understand its full implications and potential.
