"Throughout history mystics and philosophers have sought a compact key to universal wisdom…."

— Charles H. Bennett, "On Random and Hard-to-Describe Numbers," 1979.

Bennett was writing about Gregory Chaitin's concept of an "Omega number."

(See Thursday's "Omega at Eight" and Friday's "The Girl Who Fixed the Omega.")

Here is a different Omega number — Alt 234.
