Given (*), all well defined formula can be expressed in a single finite alphabet
and are countable.

Computable reals are a subset of this list, as

"UTM( 123, digit) mod 10" is some sentence
"UTM( 124, digit) mod 10" is some sentence

Not only are all the computable reals covered UTM(n e N, ..) but

"antidiag(UTM(n e N, digit) mod 10)" is also a real that it counts.
