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.

tik

This Tuesday Special Assignment focuses on a deepening crisis in Cape Town. Many young adults and schoolchildren as young as 10 years are in the grip of a powerful drug called crystal methamphetamine – known locally as tik. It’s been on the fringes for several years but it is now catching on fast among the youth of the Western Cape.

oral sex

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.

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 (Kúōn, “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.

Dog days bright and clear
Indicate a good year;
But when accompanied by rain,
We hope for better times in vain.

1883, H.H.C. Dunwoody, "Proverbs Relating to Months, Weeks, and Days" in Weather Proverbs, Signal Service Notes, No. IX, p. 98:
