surreal number

1974年由高德納在其小說 Surreal Numbers: How Two Ex-Students Turned on to Pure Mathematics and Found Total Happiness 中提出。此概念後來由英國數學家約翰·何頓·康威應用在對圍棋博弈論的研究中。最初康威只稱其為 numbers，但在1976年的 On Numbers and Games 中採用了高德納的用詞。

Conway's construction of surreal numbers relies on the use of transfinite induction.

康威對超現實數的建構基於超限歸納法的使用。

Conway's approach was to build numbers from scratch using a construction inspired by his game theory research; the resulting class of surreal numbers proved much larger than the class of real numbers.

ISBN 9780521312059

The class² of surreal numbers is defined inductively, together with an order relation on surreal numbers wich is also defined inductively:
#*:: • A surreal number X=(X_L,X_R) consists of two sets X_L and X_R of surreal numbers, such that no element from X_L is greater than any element from X_R.
#*:: • A surreal number Y=(Y_L,Y_R) is greater than another surreal number X=(X_L,X_R), X<Y, if and only if
#*::: − there is no x∈X_L such that Y<x, and
#*::: − there is no y∈Y_R such that y<X.

2012, Fredrik Nordvall Forsberg, Anton Setzer, A Finite Axiomatisation of Inductive-Inductive Definitions, Ulrich Berger, Hannes Diener, Peter Schuster, Monika Seisenberger (editors), Logic, Construction, Computation, Ontos Verlag, page 263,

Here we shall follow Conway's exposition rather closely. Let L and R be two sets of numbers. Assume that no member of L is greater than or equal to any member of R. Then L|R is a surreal number. All surreal numbers are constructed in this fashion.

The game has a tilt feature — tilt Fireball and a tilt sign glows and the scoring stops. The full-sized, full-color commercial playfield even has a special friction silk-screened surface so the ball will roll and not slide.

Now, Barney was what some voices referred to as an “inbetweener.” It met that he was never located in a permanent grade level. Back in those days when a student was found unfit of advancing to a higher level, he was held back for only half of the year and then advanced for the other half.

用嘴巴刺激生殖器的性行為；口交。

The Beard’s climactic scene, an oral sex act, is not as startling or fresh as McClure apparently thinks. It is a continuation of the second act curtain of Albee's Tiny Alice, in which Irene Worth, shielded from the audience by her robe, seemingly displayed her nude body to John Gielgud, who dropped to his knees before her while she uttered orgiastic cries.

What Ms Whitaker did is no longer a crime in Georgia. The state’s sodomy laws, which in 1996 barred oral sex even between willing spouses, were struck down by court rulings in 1998 and 2003.

agnostic

由托馬斯·亨利·赫胥黎在1870年造出。源自古希臘語 ἄγνωστος (ágnōstos，“無知的，不知道的”)，或源自a- + Gnostic，派生自古希臘語 ἀ- (a-，“不”) + γιγνώσκω (gignṓskō，“知道”)。

The Agnostic is one who asserts—what no one denies—that there are limits to the sphere of human intelligence.

dog days

仿譯自拉丁語 diēs caniculārēs (“小狗日”)，仿譯自古希臘語 κυνάδες ἡμέραι (kunádes hēmérai，“狗之日”)，源自κυνάς (kunás，“狗的，與狗有關的”)，源自Κῠ́ων (Kŭ́ōn，“狗”)，此處的「狗」指天狼星，在荷馬希臘語中作「獵戶座之犬」。天狼星偕日升時（在古雅典和古羅馬分別為7月25日和7月29日）被視為是一年中最熱、最不健康、最不幸運的時節。

canicular days

天狼星偕日升的時節，現代指八月初（具體時間隨緯度有變）

歷史上，“dog days”的期間是依據大犬座的天狼星或小犬座的南河三偕日升的時間來推斷的。這個時間隨緯度有變，且不適用於南半球。 天狼星兩次偕日升之間的間隔大概是365¼日，和儒略曆一致，但和現代通用的格里高利曆有差別。因此“dog days”的期間從7月3日到8月15日不等，大概會有30-61天。16世紀英格蘭認定的“dog daies”為7月7日至9月5日。有些現代曆書會將“dog daies”定為7月3日至8月11日，以天狼星偕日升之日作為其結尾，而非開始。

天狼星偕日升的時節，現代指八月初（具體時間隨緯度有變）

... a sterre, wherof canicular or dogge days be named Dies caniculares.

Indicate a good year;
But when accompanied by rain,
We hope for better times in vain.

來自埃及語 ꜥnḫ (“生命之符”)。anx-Z1

On temple wall paintings, the ankh is often seen being carried by gods who hold it up to the nose of the pharaoh. This gesture symbolizes the offering of the "breath of life" or eternity. Sometimes the pharaoh is also depicted with a stream of water in the form of ankhs being poured over him during a purification ritual.

1994, Mira Bartok, Christine Ronan, Ancient Egypt and Nubia, page 11,

The ankh combines the male and female sexual symbols: a female oval surmounting a male cross. It was also called the Key of the Nile, and was said to represent the sacred marriage between the God and Goddess which took place each year at the source of the Nile before the river flooded. Egyptians regarded the ankh as a universal life charm.

1935，Don Herold，Going to the Movies，Life Magazine January 1935.:

Now you cannot but observe, that most of our fine young Ladies readily fall in with the Direction of the Graver sort, to retain in their Service, by some small Encouragement, as great a Number as they can of supernumerary and insignificant Fellows, which they use like Whiflers, and commonly call Shoeing-Horns. These are never designed to know the length of the Foot, but only when a good Offer comes to whet and spur him up to the Point. Nay 'tis the Opinion of that grave Lady, Madam Matchwell, that it's absolutely convenient for every prudent Family to have several of these Implements about the House, to clap on as occasion serves, and that every Spark ought to produce a Certificate of his being a Shoeing-Horn, before he be admitted as a Shoe. A certain Lady, whom I could name, if it was necessary, has at present more Shoeing-Horns of all Sizes, Countries, and Colours, in her Service, than ever she had new Shoes in her Life.
