==========

I mean, really Graham's Number is effectively zero compared to TREE(3). Let's explain where TREE(3) comes from. Well, It comes from a game of trees. There are three different types of seeds. We're gonna have a green seed... Mathematicians wouldn't call these seeds, they'd call them nodes, but we'll call them seeds. Okay, and a black seed, and a red seed. And what we're gonna try and do is we're gonna try to build a forest. Okay, one tree at a time. The first tree can't have more than one seed. The second tree can't have more tha...
