The answer is no, near as I can figure. Now, if you also knew that, for each set of numbers, there is a box containing that set, then you'd have a paradox. Near as I can figure, you *don't* know that. In set theory, on the other hand, we *do* know the analogous claim. -- Jesse F.

So, no box ever containing the numbers of boxes not containing their own numbers means higher infinities exist? Herc

After 4 days you've been given the OK by Ullrich's sidekick to admit, err... No box ever containing the numbers of boxes not containing their own number means higher infinities exist. Herc
