Pythagorean said:I have discovered the mighty blade of Occam, I shall destroy all who advocate the existence of irratonal numbers.
Spiders are your gods.
Gelsamel Epsilon said:You envoke Chatton's Anti-Razor level 3. (Cost 50 MP)
The Geometry Monster is disarmed for 3 turns.
The Anti-Razor cuts it for 999 damage.
It dies.
You gain 60exp and level up.
You gain Spider God's blessing.
(Too bad Chatton's Anti-Razor is in no way anti to the 'Might Blade of Occam', infact it agrees with it entirely, kind of funny that)

Occam's Razor is a principle in philosophy and science that states that when there are multiple explanations for a phenomenon, the simplest one is usually the correct one.
In the case of irrational numbers, Occam's Razor suggests that the simplest explanation for their existence is that they are a fundamental part of mathematics, rather than being the result of some complex underlying structure.
This phrase is often used metaphorically to describe the power of Occam's Razor in cutting through unnecessary complexity and revealing the simplest explanation.
Some well-known irrational numbers include pi (3.14159...), the square root of 2 (1.41421...), and Euler's number (2.71828...).
Yes, it is possible to prove that a number is irrational using mathematical techniques such as proof by contradiction or the decimal expansion method. However, there are infinitely many irrational numbers, so it is not possible to prove that all irrational numbers are truly irrational.
