First came the counting numbers. Then a fellow thought it convenient to include a representation of nothing (0). Eventually some lunatic made the negatives. Logically came the rationals. And life was well and calm until somebody coined the irrationals, opening doors for a spacey Heron to imagine the imaginaries.

Modern science is built upon an understanding of the world in terms of these numbers.

However, the real and complex numbers are actually just a subset of all numbers, a.k.a. the surreal numbers. So everything we understand as true in reality, in surreality is only anecdotally true. And also, many apparent coincidences or edge cases of reality, in surreality are causally connected by general rule. And in fact there is an infinite number of surreal numbers between any given pair of reals, so the unwholiness of the real numbers cannot be understated.

We mathematicians have for a long time been aware of the surreal numbers. However we were unable to formalize our theories until after capturing The Wise Boar, teaching him to speak, training his great mind in the axioms of mathematics, and harnessing his great insights.

This nurturing process took many years. But we are ready now to begin rebuilding the sciences. Please stay tuned. We will be publishing relevant details at the fastest rate we believe society can handle.
