Symbols as fundamental building blocks from "summary" of The Unimaginable Mathematics of Borges' Library of Babel by William Goldbloom Bloch
In the world of mathematics, symbols play a crucial role as the building blocks of all mathematical structures. Just as words are the fundamental elements of language, symbols are the basic units that mathematicians use to create complex mathematical expressions and theorems. These symbols, whether they are numbers, variables, or operators, have specific meanings and rules that allow mathematicians to communicate ideas and explore the relationships between different mathematical concepts.

The library itself is a vast expanse of interconnected rooms filled with books that contain every possible combination of letters and symbols. Each book in the library can be thought of as a unique mathematical expression, created from the infinite possibilities of the symbolic language it contains.
