Standardization of Hyperoperation | Groundism™

Humans utilize nature as a computational resource and integrate it into our frameworks of thought. For instance, we categorize dogs into breeds like Pomeranian and Chihuahua, or cross breeds such as Maltese and Toy Poodle to create “Maltipoos” for the purpose of studying cuteness—nature serves as an open-source intellectual property freely available to us.

Similarly, we use 365 days by referencing Earth’s orbital period; the concept of a month echoes the Moon’s orbit around Earth; the zodiac reflects Jupiter’s orbital cycle. Across our languages we find metaphors linked to galaxies, constellations, and beyond. Even the days of the week—Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc.—are named after celestial bodies in the solar system.

In just the observable universe, there are more than two trillion galaxies—and the universe continues to expand. When President Jimmy Carter coined “galactic citizens” on the Voyager Golden Record in 1977, he likely referred to beings of the Milky Way Galaxy. For comparison, if the Solar System spans about 1 light-year, the Milky Way measures roughly 100,000 light-years across, with a thickness of about 1,000 light-years—making it 100 times thinner. Galaxies themselves range in size from 10,000 to 10 million light-years. As of 2025, human consciousness has already extended to intergalactic citizens—far beyond our Milky Way.

Suppose there are a trillion galaxies each containing a trillion stars in the observable universe. Among these, what are the odds that a planet exists with an average surface temperature around 20 °C, an ocean composed of all stable elements, and an advanced civilization? Might it be larger than 10^24? But what about the probability that such a civilization actually coexists with us in the 21st century? That seems much lower. It’s even possible that the meteorite era was a cosmic war, and Earth was the sole survivor—a protein-based civilization reigning in year 13.8 billion of cosmic history, now flourishing in the metaverse of the 21st century.

There also exist colossal numbers unfamiliar to 21st-century humans. For example, 1 quadrillion—that is, 10^16—is roughly the scale of the global monetary economy. It exceeds the number of human cells (~60 trillion), but pales compared to the “octillion,” 10^28—the number of quarks within protons that compose the human body. If quarks represent an operational layer, then the human body inherently holds computational resources far beyond global finance. Incidentally, the total global production of semiconductor transistors is at the order of sextillion (10^21)—still about ten million times less than the human quark count—signifying the IT industry is catching up.

Considering both quarks and antiquarks, we reach the scale of undecillion (10^36).

Meanwhile, the total number of particles in the universe approximates 10^100, also known as the googol. And when we consider all possible configurations of those particles, the count reaches about 10^303—aka a centillion. If one takes C^C^C patterns—raising C to the power of C raised to the power of C—that begins to approach the number of possible shuffled lives across all possible particle configurations.

• 1 Centillion: all particle configurations (all possible states of the universe).
• 1st power: relationships between universe-states (a static network of correlations).
• 2nd power: all sequences of universe-states → “all conceivable timelines” (every possible flow of time).
• 3rd power: reconfigurations of the flows of time themselves—meta-time or logs of history rewriting.

Hyperoperation allows description of numbers far exceeding even towers of such powers. Tetration and pentation dwarf C^C^C. For instance, “3 ↑↑↑↑ 3” (a four-level power tower) describes numbers beyond conventional comprehension.

Graham’s number takes us further still—an even more extreme way to describe gigantic numbers.

And beyond all of that, infinity lies in a realm utterly detached from finite but immense numbers.

Humans have harnessed solar-system-level cycles—like the 365-day year—for daily life. Yet we have not chunked, nor made palm-sized applications out of scales capable of describing the entire universe or all possible configurations thereof.

In other words, being able to conceptually operate with units such as googol, centillion, hyperoperations, or Graham’s number implies the scale potential to redesign the entire universe from scratch.

TANAAKK aims to make these colossal numbers consumable and convertible, fitting them into palm-sized applications. This vision of Kimicos—“your cosmos explodes in the palm of your hand”—is where TANAAKK began. It may become the first public computational good for Earth, the Solar System, and perhaps even the Milky Way.

The act of observing what the future has become, altering past actions, and recognizing history itself has been rewritten essentially places our comfort zone within the colossal number domain of C^C^C^C. Reaching such a state of free will requires skillful transcendence of real-world constraints.
