It means that N has all of the information that C has. You just have
to know how to look at it.

The hot air games are inside your head. Just like your claim about me
abusing JJ for no reason. Show me one original finding that belongs to
you if you can come out of your hiding behind that alias. It is easy
to abuse people from behind an alias.

Of course N has all of the information that C has. C is derived from N
in a very canonical way.

But that has nothing to do with isomorphism. FYI:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomorphism
An isomorphism (Greek: ἴσος isos "equal", and μορφή morphe "shape") is
a bijective map f such that both f and its inverse f −1 are
homomorphisms, i.e., structure-preserving mappings.

It may be the case that a single atom contains all the information
about the entire Universe, but it is hard to see than an atom and the
Universe are isomorphic.

How did you figure THAT? I assure you that to me, there exist much
more satisfying and challenging mental activities than the
philosophical discussions on the meaning of 0^0.

I made no such claim. You continue to misunderstand the reason why I
brought up the JJ case.

You want me to provide you with the list of my journal publications?
No, I don't want to disclose my real name. If my real name became
public, I would be at the mercy of too many kooks. I saw a friend of
mine lose his job because he signed his posts with his real name.

> It is easy

Not true. I have made thousands of posts to Usenet under my current
alias, so you are welcome to attack all these posts if you find them
laughable or hypocritical.

I am not attacking you for your real-life activity either. Only for
your Usenet posts.

Moreover, being aware of the famous film directors Akira Kurosawa and
Ingmar Bergman, I suspect your own nick "Akira Bergman" is an alias.
Care to give us your REAL name? Or do you prefer to abuse people from
behind an alias?

Not only philosophical, but also mathematical;

0^0 = {0,1}
x^y = e^(y*log(x))

Akira Bergman is the name on my passport. I am not scared of anybody
for my activities anywhere. I have no need to hide.

Wasn't it decided by almost complete consensus back in the 19th
century that Euler was right and that it is best to set

0^0 = 1

?

Is that what you advocate too?

Are you self-employed?

"Wasn't it decided by almost complete consensus back in the 19th

0^0 = 1
?
Is that what you advocate too? "

It is self explanatory from x^y = e^(y*log(x)). It has been on the net
for years and still gets good traffic. It was agreed by sci.math crowd
years ago. I don't know how it has been missed by so many math-heads
for so many years. This is what I mean by the pitfalls of formalism
heavy thinking.

I don't have to advocate it. It advocates itself.

"Are you self-employed?"

I don't have to work for a while. There is nothing like freedom from
doing others work.
