*The small problem with this example is that in fact the latter has been achieved.
- charlieflowers 13y agoI suspect that this is a very clever joke. And possibly that I might be the butt of the joke. But I suspect that even so, the joke is so good that I'd still laugh heartily at it. Unfortunately, I freely admit that the joke goes right over my head. I used to know something about Riemann surfaces, so I could invest some time and eventually get the joke perhaps, but I just don't have time now. :)
- moomin 13y agoSorry, the chain is just Set Theory Natural Numbers Integers Rationals Real Numbers Complex Numbers Calculus Riemann Surfaces (as the Apple ads say, some steps skipped) The only point I was making was that the level you were thinking at was much higher than the level SEXPs are at. Trying to envisage how we get there remains hard. TL;DR I was agreeing with you. :)
