As any good defense lawyer can tell you, you don't need to believe something to use it to prove something else. :-) > I was going to mention Surreal Numbers also, but I see you touched > on it. As far as what Steven discussed, the ordinal numbers have the same properties (except I've never heard of ω-1 in a discussion of ordinals, but it should work I think). (Maybe the surreals are constructed from the ordinals as the reals are constrcuted from the cardinals?) _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/YL6EGQIE7X4TPFYXUY4BLT752KQH5KW4/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
