Suppose you had an infinite number of dashes. For each dash, a new infinity of dashes was produced, and for each of those dashes, a new infinity of dashes were produced, ad infinitum.

How many dashes would you have in total?

enough

I think what you want to look at is called “countable infinities” and “uncountable infinities”

For example, the integers—1,2,3,4,5,…— have infinitely many numbers there , but they are countable (one is first, two is second, and so on.) Real numbers, on the other hand, are uncountable because we have 0.8, 0.79, 0.791, and at any two numbers you can write down I can write one in between, so it is impossible to give a definitive list of all the real numbers (since I can always find something in between entries on the list )

I think you could count ops numbers to by using the digonal counting method from the real numbers but multi dimensional.

First dash is 1. Than dash 1-1 is 2 than dash 2 is 3. Than dash 2-1 is 4. Than dash 1-2 is 5. Than dash 1-1-1 is 6. Than dash 2-2 is 7th thab 2-1-1 is 8th and so on..

So countable infinit many because you can order them

Fuck i meant ration numbers not real numbers of cause

>>17042098
Rational numbers
Im retarded by i still might be right

Dashes at all finite stages: countably infinite.
Infinite branches through the structure: uncountably infinite.
If each dash produces an arbitrary larger infinity: the answer depends on which cardinal infinities are used.

Depends on if you wait one infinity or two infinities

The answer is omega^omega.

It's countable. So the same cardinality as the set of natural numbers.

Add "infinite" and "infinity" to the spam filter already
