Here is how I last defined rotes:

| @ is a rote.
|
| If f is a finite function from rotes to rotes,
| say, f : index_j ~> exponent_j for j = 1 to k,
| where the "indices" and "exponents" are rotes,
| then the following tree is a rote:
|
|  i_1  e_1  i_k  e_k
|   o----o    o----o
|    \  ...  /
|     \  |  /
|      \ | /
|       \|/
|        @
|
| where the rotes for the "indices" (source elements) i_j
| and the "exponents" (target elemnts) e_j are attached
| at the places indicated.

Strictly speaking, I probably should have stipulated that
each f is a "finite partial function" from rotes to rotes,
but since the set of rotes is infinite the partiality of f
might be taken as implicit in the fact of its being finite.

Let $N$ ("Script N") be the set of rotes.

Let (X -> Y) be the set of functions from X to Y.

Let [X -> Y] be the set of finite partial functions from X to Y.

Then we have the isomorphism $N$ ~=~ [$N$ -> $N$],
that is, every rote k : $N$ is uniquely analyzed
as a finite partial function k : $N$ -> $N$, and
every such function gets a unique gödel number
in $N$.  Notice the polymorphism of types.

1 = {} = the empty function

2 = (p_1)^1 = {<1, 1>}

3 = (p_2)^1 = {<2, 1>}

4 = (p_1)^2 = {<1, 2>}

5 = (p_3)^1 = {<3, 1>}

6 = (p_1)^1 (p_2)^1 = {<1, 1>, <2, 1>}

As rooted trees, these look like this:

                                        o--o
                                        |
                    o--o         o--o   o--o          o-o
                    |            |      |            /
          o--o      o--o      o--o      o--o    o-o o-o
          |         |         |         |        \ /
@         @         @         @         @         @

1         2         3         4         5         6
