Can Venn diagrams resemble Cantor sets with infinitely many sets?

if you go down to the section called "do they always exist?" you'll find a venn diagram for 6 sets:

would a horizontal cross-section resemble a cantor set, if there were infinitely many sets? it looks like it would vaguely resemble something like that or maybe I'm missing something. (maybe it's an inane & superficial observation anyway) what does a venn diagram look like for infinitely many sets anyway? that site only has diagrams for small finite numbers of sets but it says it should be clear where the next set should go in the above diagram. would be be possible then to add sets recursively to find the venn diagram for n sets? maybe this belongs in the topology subforum...

The diagram is a sort of fractal geometry...something like that. Most fractals resemble the Cantor set in one way or another; the set was a sort of prototype for fractal geometry.
 
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'
The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985) (I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box. The overline is assigning a name. The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
