		<description>What about numbers related to the Goodstein sequences?

(e.g. J(k) := number of steps it takes for the Goodstein sequence of 100 to go down to 0; then define S(n,k) := J(J(...(J(k))...)) (J repeated n times). BIG NUMBER:

J(100, 100)
)</description>

		<description>hmm.... i&#039;m pretty sure TREE(xkcd) would dwarf any number here, despite it&#039;s ease in notation (go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruskal%27s_tree_theorem for more on the TREE function)

Seeing as TREE(3) already dwarfs Graham&#039;s number likely more then Graham&#039;s number dwarfs googolplex, I&#039;m pretty sure TREE(xkcd) would be enough to dwarf all the other numbers here, probably including BB(xkcd). not sure about how one would go about proving this though...</description>

		<description>That would be the Busy Beaver, to the order of the Busy Beaver function of Graham’s number, function of Ackerman’s function given two xkcd numbers.</description>
