sqrt(2) ? exp(1) ? pi ? ... certainly each of the "usual suspects" has a discrete specification, but I've always been a bit suspicious of the hardcore constructionist approach to irrational numbers (while at the same time finding it extremely attractive to my engineering/hacker instincts). ok, so these are probably not "measurable" in the sense you mean either, but they are *thinkable*, and that (I think) is the whole point (or as it were, the whole hypotenuse, curve, circle, etc) ;-) uncountably infinite marmosets, Bryan -- Bryan Jurish "There is *always* one more bug." jur...@uni-potsdam.de -Lubarsky's Law of Cybernetic Entomology _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
