- vlovich123 4y agoThere exists an abstract mathematical mapping, sure. However, finding the spot in the real number where that's the case may require infinite storage (you need to store the pointer) or infinite time (you start searching through the number to find what you want). It also has a halting problem where you don't actually know how you'll know when you find that data.
