The real numbers are a simplified model of numbers. Actual computation in reality occurs in the rational numbers.Σbool\Sigma \simeq \mathrm{bool} the initial σ\sigma-frame, and the σ\sigma-topological space being countably compact: every countable open cover has a finite subcover?

The real square root does not actually exist. Instead we have a partial function on the rationals which is only approximately a square root up to some rational tolerance ϵ\epsilon.

ϵ<sqrt ϵ(x) 2x<ϵ-\epsilon \lt \mathrm{sqrt}_\epsilon(x)^2 - x \lt \epsilon

The same goes for analytic functions like the exponential function and the sine and cosine function.
