Fair enough, but I am curious about the numbers:
what (kind of) value are you after for that exponentiation?

@vnikolov @screwlisp OK, I've not got further than basic peano arithmetic yet. #PostScarcitySoftware is a very big project and although yes of course one day it should have very sophisticated mathematics libraries, I'm nowhere near that. My naive expectation is that if I start something like exponentiation with integers and rationals, then the result should be an integer or a rational. I would be *satisfied* with a complex result, provided that the components were integer or rational. /Continued
