"The Unimaginable Mathematics of Borges' Library of Babel" is a concept that stems from Jorge Luis Borges’ short story "The Library of Babel," which imagines an infinite library containing every possible book consisting of a certain number of characters. In his narrative, Borges describes the library as containing an infinite number of hexagonal rooms, and within these rooms are shelves filled with books that contain every combination of letters, spaces, and punctuation marks.
