In such a universe, the people living in the library - called librarians - would live their lives exploring it and knowing nothing about it. With time, they would have realized that the library was made of all possible permutation of letters, by bumping into a book explaining combinatorial analysis. They would wonder about its finiteness, possible periodicity, presence of fundamental truths or of a person having read such book, which would be worshipped like a god. Cults formed and books containing gibberish destroyed in the vane hope of reducing the size of the library and find the hexagon containing such truths.
The size of this library would be roughly of 10^1,834,097 books, a number with almost two million zeroes. Humans are bad at dimensions, but a number that big is something that anyone can barely visualize or imagine, in this universe's standards. To put things to perspective, the universe has roughly 10^80 atoms in it. The Planck length is a fundamental physical constant of the universe and quantum mechanics hypothesizes that it is the shortest theoretically measurable length. The order of magnitude of this length is
10^-35 10^35 meters. In comparisons, there are around 10^185 (a number with almost two hundred zeroes) cubic Planck lengths in the observable universe.
