ABSTRACT
Georg Cantor was a mathematician who eventually descended into insanity as a consequence of his work, but through his ideas on infinity he also became interested in the idea of curves. Overall idea was only to interpret sequences with more than one member as having curvature, with each individual member still being considered a straight line, as supported by established graph theory. Explaining why this is so is not as simple as one might like, however, as it involves a journey well outside the bounds of classical computer science and information theory. This takes away from the safety of contemporary, popular understandings of computation and lands use firmly in the field of theoretical physics. This chapter provides a simple and effective means of naming each configuration, as by no accident the scheme also corresponds to the binary numbering system.
