We could've called the imaginaries "orthogonals", "perpendiculars", "complications", "atypicals", there's a million other options. I like the idea that a number is complex because it has a &

I have experimented with telling Claude Code to keep a historical record of the work it is performing. It did work (though I didn't assess the accuracy of the record) but I decided it was a waste of tokens and now direct it to analyze
