Ignore that. It was nonsense. A better statement: the completion (in the sense of lattices) of the real numbers is (isomorphic to) the doubly-extended real line. It's in this sense that +infinity and - infinity can be considered limits. I've no clue where your (Steven's) idea that 'all ordinals are surreal numbers' came from. They're totally unrelated. Sorry. I haven't had any dinner. I get tetchy when I haven't had any dinner. Usenet'ly yours, Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
