I might hang around to help out with subject questions that I did, but Non School just annoys the crap out of me.

Ok maths, hmm

Karen< n

True for all real, imaginary and complex values n
First of all: The set of complex numbers cannot be order, so n is restricted to the set of real numbers, or if Karen is imaginary (quite possible), the set of imaginary numbers.

Anyway, Karen < n

This asserts that Karen is less than 1... and -1 and -999999.

Essentially, Karen is less than any real value of n.

Negative infinity is also less than any real value of n.

Now, let us look at infinity, which is a concept, and not of the set n: if infinity were a member of the set R, then the set R would have a lower bound, specifically a largest lower bound. This would mean that the set R is bounded and closed from the negative side. However, We know that for every number n of set R, there exists a number n-1 of set R. From this, the set R is obviously NOT bounded from the negative side.

.'. Karen is not real. Q.E.D.
