Looks like an eye doesnt it? Its the view from below of the spiral staircase in the Courtauld Gallery in Somerset House, London
The Indian mathematical text Surya Prajnapti (c. 400 BC) classifies all numbers into three sets: enumerable, innumerable, and infinite. Each of these was further subdivided into three orders:
* Enumerable: lowest, intermediate and highest
* Innumerable: nearly innumerable, truly innumerable and innumerably innumerable
* Infinite: nearly infinite, truly infinite, infinitely infinite
Quoted from the wikipedia article on infinity en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity
For no other reason than i like the sound of “innumerably innumerable”
