One of number of alternates to the Rational Numbers, which have been used as the basis for metrics used in Dimensions in Physics here-to-fore.
Context
- A p-adic number is an extension of the field of rationals such that congruences modulo powers of a fixed prime p are related to proximity in the so called "p-adic metric." https://mathworld.wolfram.com/p-adicNumber.html
References
- See also the wiki page on Dimensions in Physics
- See also the wiki page on Complex Dimensions for another example of an alternate to Rational Numbers.
