this symbol: ℵ

....is the hebrew letter "aleph", corresponding to the first letter of their alphabet. i don't know the phonetics of the letter.

rather, my use of the symbol is a set theory joke. i believe the use stems from cantor.

see, i count my collections using aleph-numbers, as though they're transfinite cardinal numbers. it's an abuse of notation, to say the least. but, the analogy is that it's an increase in abstraction. i needed another way to count, so i went with that.

i apologize if you thought the symbol looked like something else. it really never crossed my mind until right now. and, that is a function of your own ignorance.
