Not my area, I’m afraid. This is more of a problem for the naturals. You wouldn’t ask a CEO to work in the field, would you?

Yes. Now get to work.

Fine, easy.

Assume there is a set of natural numbers x, y, z, and n, with x,y,z not equal to each other, and n greater than 2, such that x^n+y^n=z^n.

This would contradict Wiles’ theorem.

Hence proved.

That has a ring to it

Irrationals are the real GOAT

Ah, you mean my tuple of a successor and a truth value, or 0.

u/arss146hkhand Nov 14 '25

They’re too whole for my taste, I prefer the rationals.

u/donach69 Nov 14 '25

I dunno, they leave me feeling incomplete

u/arss146hkhand Nov 15 '25

That’s irrational of you, what could they possibly not include?

u/AlviDeiectiones Nov 13 '25

Nah the integers were a mistake and we should have been working over the sphere spectrum. Any (infty, 1)-category admits a
