>>9655521
The reality of numbers, like words other symbols, is a function of what they represent. What they represent (discrete packets of something and discrete packets of nothing) is real. That being represented with roman numerals in base 10 is arbitrary (the "base 10" part not being as arbitrary since we have 10 fingers).

You're using a digital representation of numbers.
You can use stones to represent numbers, Ancient greeks just used dots.
We'd have to find a way to represent numbers in an analog format in order for them to have a representation in our universe. And digital is on top of analog. It's a hierarchy, subjectiveness exists solely because the objective universe allows it to, whatever the objective universe is.

let [math] \mathbf{v} [/math] be a vector in a linear vector space V
then by the scalar multiplication axiom, [math] a \mathbf{v} [/math] must also be an element in V where [math]a[/math] is any constant real number. let [math]a[/math] be an irrational real number, hence you need real numbers to have a vector space, otherwise the vector space is not closed under scalar multiplication

No, faggot. The numbers are in my brain. They aren’t “real.” And nothing in nature is a “real” number unless we apply mind to it. And the universe is discreet.

there is an infinite set of rational numbers between any two rational numbers on a number line of rational numbers.

To wit: Yo dawg, I heard you like infinite sets of rational numbers, so I nested infinite sets of rational numbers inside your infinite rational number line so you could could infinite rational numbers between 1 and 2.
