| Apr 22, 2022 at 15:14 | comment | added | Michael New | @AlbertWood Fair enough! My implication with "on the number line" was meant to insinuate that it's not represent-able in multiple dimensions in a similar way that $\mathbb{C}$ is homeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^2$. I don't have a firm enough grasp of these concepts to phrase it precisely, but by every description the surreals, for example, are "between" the reals, so "on the number line" seemed a reasonable way to hand wave that detail. If you know of a good way to phrase this please let me know. | |

| Apr 20, 2022 at 2:43 | comment | added | Albert Wood | It's worth mentioning there that 'on the number line' is a hazy and ill-defined concept. Most people would think of 'the number line' as being the real numbers, $\mathbb{R}$. The surreal, hyperreal, and complex number systems, to name a few, are number systems containing the real numbers as a subset, but few people would refer to them as 'the number line'. | |
