Where Did the Hierarchy of Mathematics Diagram Originate?

Does anyone know where http://space.mit.edu/home/tegmark/toe_cut.gif came from?

There are some serious errors on the left side of that picture.

Also the full picture is further down on the same page as the cut off one/. here's the paper on arxiv that it's in
http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/gr-qc/pdf/9704/9704009v2.pdf

Oh okay I see. Thanks!

I find the complete, high-res version of this in the paper (PDF), "Is 'the theory of everything' merely the ultimate ensemble theory?" by Max Tegmark.

The hierarchy of mathematics diagram is a visual representation of the different branches and levels of mathematics, showcasing how they are interconnected and build upon each other. It is a useful tool for understanding the complexities and relationships within the field of mathematics.

As for the source of the specific diagram mentioned, it appears to have been created by Max Tegmark, a physicist and professor at MIT. The acronym "TOE" in the image stands for "Theory of Everything," a concept in physics that aims to unify all fundamental forces and particles in the universe. This particular diagram seems to be Tegmark's interpretation of the hierarchy of mathematics in relation to the concept of a Theory of Everything.

It is important to note that this diagram is just one interpretation and there may be other variations or additions that could be made. However, it serves as a helpful visual aid in understanding the interconnectedness of mathematics and its role in understanding the fundamental laws of the universe.
