Going to attempt to make a skein for this yet again.
The formula is 29^C = 10^L, or more specifically it's (character set)^(number of characters per lowest level) = (entities per layer)^(number of layers)
This is my attempt to cram as many layers as possible into a universe-sized space. I'm assuming E = 10.
Book = 1000 pages. If so, this knocks off 3 layers.
Bookshelves -- each bookshelf can hold 100 books, probably in something like 6 shelves and 16 books per shelf. This knocks off 2 layers.
bookcases can be arranged in 10 rows and 10 columns which knocks off 2 layers.
there should be 1000 rooms represented per floor to knock off another 3 layers. Not sure the best way to arrange corridors in this fashion.
Each building should have 100 floors, which knocks off 2 layers.
There should be 100 buildings per street block. Not sure how this would get represented, probably by maximizing the amount per street block and then using the other number to indicate building "complexes". Anyway this knocks off another 2 layers.
Each city should be a grid of 100x100 blocks, which knocks off 4 layers. More interesting generation and of course street names would help improve things herein.
There should be 1000 cities per province. Things like counties should be represented, as well as rivers and such and obviously better naming. In any case this knocks off 3 layers.
There should be 1000 provinces per planet. To make this more interesting, there would be continents, underwater province's, ice provinces, biomes, etc to splay the promises out a little better. Anyway this knocks off 3 layers.
Each gas giant should have 1000 planets -- the equal way of doing this is the 1-10-1 latitude formula (which adds up to 100), with every 10 planets being together in a Wheel. Rendering bits of the gas giant with the fractalicious algorithm is probably the best way to make this look interesting. It's only a few layers down -- each planet's viewport is 7 layers down, assuming my math is right, though if it's backgrounded it would be more like 5 layers. In any case this knocks off 3 more layers.
Gas giants should do something similar around a large star inside a Dyson sphere. Knocks off another 3 layers. Also the fractalicious generator seems particularly cool when applied to fiery colors.
There are about 100,000,000,000 stars in a typical galaxy. I have no earthly idea how to navigate this space (or make it interesting) but it knocks off an impressive 11 layers.
Galaxy superclusters seem to contain 100,000 galaxies. Again, not sure on the generation here, will require more space research. In any case that's 5 layers gone.
There's 10,000,000 superclusters in the observable universe. These would be distributed in filaments and voids ideally. In any case that knocks off 7 layers.
A lower bound on the universe size is 247 times the observable universe. This probably isn't worth doing because I run out of interesting generation and don't get much in return.
Total: 53 layers
At its present scope and plugging back into the formula that's 13^W = 10^53 or log13(10^53), which gives 47 words. Not bad.
