The Transfinite Numbers Are In A Certain Sense Themselves New Irrationalities And In Fact In My Opinion The Best Method Of Defining The Finite Irrational Numbers Is Wholly Disimilar To, And I Might Even Say In Priciple The Same As, My Method Described Above Of Introducing Trasfinite Numbers. One Can Say Unconditionally: The Transfinite Numbers Stand Or Fall With The Finite Irrational Numbers; They Are Like Each Other In Their Innermost Being; For The Former Like The Latter Are Definite Delimited Forms Or Modifications Of The Actual Infinite.
