Hello there.We know that we have sets of numbers like the real numbers, complex numbers, quaternions, octonions.Could we find a set of numbers more general than that of real numbers that has basic properties of the real numbers like commutativity, order, addition, multiplication, division and can be used to solve problems? I know that complex numbers were discovered after attempts of solving polynomial equations, but perhaps algebraic geometry could find other kinds of numbers? Thank you.
