I have started a YouTube channel documenting some ideas about how maths and physics hang together. As part of that I have already posted a video that derives whole numbers from first principles and generalises imaginary numbers in a neat way. It is here:
The thesis is that there is a fundamental set of multidimensional numbers that has been passed over by mathematics, with complex numbers as a subset.
My degrees are in computing science and microelectronics and I have been working in the semiconductor industry for many decades. I have no connections to academia any more.
Quick Summary
The way of defining numbers using loops and chains from the above video lends itself to also to deriving fractions, real numbers, hierarchies of infinities and more. I could make a video about this and submit it to SoME, if you think that this is a suitable topic.
Target medium
YouTube video.
More details
I am happy to make this video on my own or with a collaborator that I find myself.
I'd like to ask you maths experts reading this if, in your opinion, a topic like this is suitable for SoME, since its is not strictly a "maths explainer", but argues a controversial standpoint.
If you tell me that the video above is nonsense and that imaginary numbers are not in need of a better definition, then I will not persevere.
If at least one professional mathematician says that the idea presented in the "Imaginary Number" video is sound and that they would encourage a follow-up then I may have a go.

EDIT: since I am looking for a domain expert, I will change the label. Well, I would if I could find a way how.
