# The Cantor Space and Applications This file develops the theory of the Cantor space, that is bool^nat with the product topology. The two main theorems proved here are homeomorphism_cantor_like, and cantor_surj, a.k.a. Alexandroff-Hausdorff. ``` cantor_space == the Cantor space, with its canonical metric cantor_like T == perfect + compact + hausdroff + zero dimensional tree_of T == builds a topological tree with levels (T n) ``` The overall goal of the next few sections is to prove that Every compact metric space `T` is the image of the Cantor space. The overall proof will build two continuous functions Cantor space -> a bespoke tree for `T` -> `T` The proof is in 4 parts: - Part 1: Some generic machinery about continuous functions from trees. - Part 2: All cantor-like spaces are homeomorphic to the Cantor space. (an application of part 1) - Part 3: Finitely branching trees are Cantor-like. - Part 4: Every compact metric space has a finitely branching tree with a continuous surjection. (a second application of part 1)

## Part 1 A tree here has countable levels, and nodes of type `K n` on the nth level. Each level is in the 'discrete' topology, so the nodes are independent. The goal is to build a map from branches to X. 1. Each level of the tree corresponds to an approximation of `X`. 2. Each level refines the previous approximation. 3. Then each branch has a corresponding Cauchy filter. 4. The overall function from branches to X is a continuous surjection. 5. With an extra disjointness condition, this is also an injection
