Obviously, she’s imaginary. Her cutie mark proves it. No one saw her. She was never here. You can’t prove anything.

numbers can be n-dimensional, using the same cheap hack technique used to produce imaginary numbers. if i is the square root of -1, then you could call j the arc tangent of -i. -i is outside the domain of the (complex) arc tangent, just as -1 is outside the domain of the square root function, so just like with i, you can just pretend that it isn’t outside the domain and just “defer” the calculation of j indefinitely. now you have three dimensions! imaginary imaginary numbers!
 
let k(x) = 1 if x is positive, and undefined if x is negative  
⇒ 3 + 2i + 4j + 7 * k(-1)
 
let k2(x) = 1 if x is exactly 49.75, and otherwise undefined  
⇒ 3 + 2i + 4j + 7 * k(-1) + 5 * k2(23)  
etc…
 
or you could just admit that you’re talking about vectors of numbers, and then show how those vectors can themselves be treated like numbers.

You get a quite different meaning if you read it like this…

Imaginary numbers were given an unfortunate name, because mathematicians of the past thought they were impossible or simply a hack job way of solving real problems. These days we understand that numbers are actually 2-dimensional and that imaginary numbers are relevant to practical applications.
 
If anyone is interested in the topic, I’d suggest checking out the video series ““Imaginary Numbers are Real[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T647CGsuOVU) by Welch Labs.
