> Considered as a topological space, Cantor space happens to have the same structure as the Cantor set […]
And this is, intuitively, because every element of the (standard) Cantor set can be expressed as a trinary number in the range [0, 1) where every digit is either 0 or 2 (because at every level the middle third is excluded in the construction of the set). That is, a string of exactly two symbols – that is, a bitstring.
