It will keep you up at night, my friends. For if you can travel down a [[carval chain]] without fear of finding its end and, at every remove it looks the same, then how will you ever find your way back to the top layer, the most general categorisation, whence you started? | ||
''Is there'' a “top layer”? Do perhaps [[carve-in]]s and [[carve-out]]s extend, both forward and backward, infinitely? Are they even constrained by [[space-time]] as we know it? Might they curve into an alien geometry that our Euclidean eyes cannot fathom? | ''Is there'' a “top layer”? Do perhaps [[carve-in]]s and [[carve-out]]s extend, both forward and backward, infinitely?
