So it's somewhat akin to the Library of Babel but instead of the set of all possible books, it's the set of all possible functions :p


Those are equivalent as long as you allow for infinite length books.


No need for infinite-length books to encode all possible functions, as there are notations to express infinity in finite space (e.g. programs, encoding an infinity of behaviour in a finite number of instructions).

The library of babel contain every possible finite description of every possible function.
