gollark: Those were, as I said, neutralized on arrival. We were able to prove that *those* were the empty set, so they obviously can't do anything.
gollark: All "higher arithmetic levels" are also controlled by infinitely recursive GTech™ metaprogrammable bees.
gollark: Those were trivially neutralized on arrival.
gollark: Incorrect. GTech™ facilities situated in ideatic mathematospace prevent this.
gollark: Secondly, it is not equal; if it were constructible, it would only be isomorphic.
