long ago slave boss was tasked with calculating the square root of infinity

sadly he was told that this is simple and the square root of infinity
is simply infinity!

when asking why this is, he is now told that it's because infinity
times infinity is still infinity, so ...

but he disagrees !!

he says obviously infinity squared is a _two dimensional infinity_ --
an infinity that is much larger in that it extends in two full
dimensions, infinitely, rather than simply being a one-dimensional
infinity quantity of something in a line.

now, the challenge, he may say, is to calculate the square root of a
one-dimensional infinity ! what is this, you might ask?

well, slave boss has finally, maybe a decade later, figured this out:

the square root of a one-dimensional infinity, is the square root of
one-dimensionalness, multiplied by the square root of infiniteness.

where "the square root of one-dimensionalness" is an abstract quantity
(like the imaginary number) that when squared yields a one-dimensional
attribute of something, and "the square root of infiniteness" is
another abstract quantity (like the imaginary number (or root 5?))
that when squared, yields the smallest infinite amount --
