1 year agoI think “Aleph” could be interesting. A common theme for forks of other projects is to have a name that’s a sort of synonym of the original. In set theory, the Aleph numbers represent different orders of infinity. The “normal” infinity we think of is the first Aleph number, and there are an infinite amount of other Aleph numbers. So, “Aleph” could be this app’s way of acknowledging the “Infinity” it comes from, and still distinguish itself as something unique.
I probably did a poor job of explaining Aleph numbers, so here’s the wiki article for anyone who wants a better understanding: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleph_number
I don’t know if Geordi would describe vision with his VISOR as “better”, just that it allows him to see more of the E.M. spectrum. The few times he gets to see with natural eyes (when Riker’s Q powers restored his eyes, and when the magic immortality planet “healed” him) he describes seeing beauty that he normally isn’t capable of experiencing. “Better” is always subjective
