Ouch, I just realized that the Word, the Infinite Logos, can NOT be represented as a number. Because rational numbers don't have an infinite number of decimals, and the real numbers are problematic from a philosophical perspective.
As a simple example, what is the last decimal of Pi = 3.14159265... ? The answer is that there is no last decimal of Pi! So the standard method of saying that Pi is a real number is valid as an abstraction, yet invalid as a factual statement.
The manifestation of the Word on the other hand can be represented as a number with a finite yet growing number of decimals. So the manifested Word has a beginning and an end, the Alpha and the Omega as Christ (who is the Word manifested) declares himself in the Bible. The total unmanifested Word however can't be represented as a number, only as Intelligent Infinity.
I will take a look at this video for more information about the problem with Pi as a real number:
