Constructivisme

Made in

I wanted to represent “constructions” with a formula.

The displayed formula illustrates a mathematic formula with a simple proof that is not constructive. Precisely, the formula says that it exists two irrationals :small_red_triangle_down: and :red_circle: such that :red_circle: to the power of :small_red_triangle_down: is rational.

Proof: if $\sqrt{2}^\sqrt{2}$ is rational, just set both :small_red_triangle_down: and :red_circle: to be equal to $\sqrt{2}$. Otherwise, set :red_circle: to be $\sqrt{2}^\sqrt{2}$ and :small_red_triangle_down: to be $\sqrt{2}$, we then obtain that :red_circle: to the power of :small_red_triangle_down: is equal to 2, so it is rational.

In the end, we proved the formula, but we do not know which :small_red_triangle_down: and :red_circle: works.
