I don't think this is right, but I could be grasping the wrong end of
the stick. I think of your definition division as the division of an infinite
length symbol string into a finite head, and a countably infinite long
tail.

Ok

```If true, then there are A^n heads of length n, and
c (=A^\aleph_0) tails.

Therefore, there are c pairs of descriptions.

Ok, if you mean that there are c pairs of descriptions in which one of the pairs is of length n etc. etc. I find this [I think] even more satisfying than my above. However, I see the basic result as being the same i.e. the number of descriptions of any particular type is always c so there is no preponderance of any type of description.
