The Universal Library. Not without reason we associate every possible CV
with a name. Every word or phrase actually in any language, known or
unknown. 'The Universal Library' by Kurd Lasswitz was written as
serio-satiric fiction in 1901. Cannot the first Chess Variant be taken as
one of those in the Alfonso Manuscript year 1283? For Mathematics itself at
same time, Spanish-Majorcan Ramon Lully (1235-1315), Raimundus Lullus,
articulated the earliest version of the Universal Library. If we take one
characteristic of something, Lully postulates, and state all the
possibilities, we must of necessity state the Truth too. One modern
version asks, how long will it take Chimpanzee (or Computer?) to type out
fully-correct version of 'Faust', 'Don Quixote' or ''The Tempest''? A
recent Comment -- ridiculing the infinity of CVs -- points out there are  huge but finite number possible states of the Universe. In Physics also, dispensing
with Time is explored by Julian Barbour's 'The End of Time'(1999), 
sentences of which introduce ''Chess Morality XVII: Turning Rhyme.''
