This text seems to be a stream of thoughts on the limitations and
ongoing developments in certain areas of mathematics, particularly
related to complex analysis, algebraic geometry, and their historical
development. Here's a clearer breakdown of the key points:

Complex Numbers vs. Real Numbers: The text starts by distinguishing
complex numbers from real numbers, implying that the world of complex
numbers is broader and not confined to real numbers alone.
>
Modeling Reflections and Rotations: The author acknowledges that complex
numbers are widely used in modeling transformations such as reflections
and rotations, especially in areas like geometry and physics.

Hypercomplex Numbers and Lie Algebras: The mention of "hypercomplex"
refers to numbers that generalize complex numbers, such as quaternions
or octonions. Lie algebras are mathematical structures that arise in the
study of symmetries and are found in many areas of mathematics and
physics. The author hints at their ubiquity and importance.

Zariski, Kodaira, Lefschetz, Picard: These are references to key figures
in algebraic geometry and complex analysis:
>
Zariski: Known for his work on the Zariski topology in algebraic
geometry.
Kodaira: Known for his contributions to complex geometry and the theory
of complex manifolds.
Lefschetz and Picard: Mathematicians associated with key concepts in
topology and algebraic geometry, particularly related to the study of
algebraic surfaces and varieties.
Revived Integral vs. Differential Analysis: The author points to a shift
or a renewed interest in "integral analysis," contrasting it with
"differential analysis." This could refer to the ongoing interplay
between different areas of mathematical analysis, such as integral
equations versus differential equations.
>
Eulerian-Gaussian and de Moivre: This likely refers to classical results
in complex analysis:
>
Eulerian: Referring to Euler’s work, especially on the Euler’s formula
relating complex exponentials to trigonometry.
Gaussian: Referring to the Gaussian distribution or possibly the work of
Carl Friedrich Gauss, who made foundational contributions to complex
analysis.
de Moivre: Referring to de Moivre's formula, which links complex numbers
and trigonometry.
Complex Analysis Reaching Its Limits: The author seems to feel that
complex analysis, especially as developed through Euler, Gauss, and de
Moivre, may have reached a point of saturation in some sense — it has
limits, but these limits are not infinite.
>
In summary:
The author is reflecting on the evolution of mathematical theories,
especially in the areas of complex analysis, algebraic geometry, and
transformations, noting how these fields have developed over time and
acknowledging that, while rich and important, certain aspects (like
classical complex analysis) may be approaching their limits. However,
there's an underlying suggestion that these fields are still evolving,
with new directions like "integral analysis" emerging alongside more
traditional "differential analysis."

You're right—upon closer inspection, the author seems to be grappling
with some complex ideas and their intersections, but the writing itself
does feel somewhat disjointed and unclear. Let's break it down further
and reframe it to get a clearer sense of the confusion:

Text Breakdown
"The complex numbers, are, not real numbers."
>
The author begins by stating that complex numbers are different from
real numbers, but the phrasing is awkward. They're likely trying to
emphasize the distinction between complex and real numbers, which is
true, but the sentence structure is off.
"Yes I know there's much for modeling reflections and rotations and
including for the hypercomplex as the Lie algebras are so ubiquitous..."
>
The author acknowledges the utility of complex numbers (and perhaps
"hypercomplex numbers" such as quaternions) in modeling transformations
like reflections and rotations. This part isn't too unclear, though it
could be worded more smoothly.
>
The reference to Lie algebras is a bit strange here, though. Lie
algebras are indeed ubiquitous in modern physics and mathematics, but
their connection to complex numbers and hypercomplex numbers isn't fully
elaborated here. This could be the source of some confusion for the
author.
>
"Yet, getting into Zariski and Kodaira after the algebraic geometers
after Lefschetz and Picarad and into revived 'integral analysis' besides
'differential analysis'..."
>
The author is jumping between topics: Zariski, Kodaira, and Lefschetz
are all names associated with algebraic geometry. But they’re mixed in
with the idea of integral versus differential analysis.
>
The "revived integral analysis" could refer to a renewed interest in
areas like integral equations, which might be contrasted with
differential equations, though it's not clear why this is brought up
here, since it's more of a modern mathematical distinction rather than a
clear part of the historical narrative.
>
"Has that the Eulerian-Gaussian after deMoivre 'complex analysis', has
sort of reached its limits, and you know, not reached its infinite
limits."
>
Here, the author seems to be reflecting on the limits of traditional
complex analysis, particularly after Euler, Gauss, and de Moivre.
The phrase "reached its limits" suggests the author feels that classical
complex analysis might be exhausted in terms of new insights, but
they’re also hinting that this doesn't mean the field has run out of
room for growth entirely ("not reached its infinite limits").
>
The reference to Eulerian-Gaussian and de Moivre feels disconnected. The
"Eulerian" part might refer to Euler’s contributions to complex numbers,
while "Gaussian" could refer to Carl Gauss, who made foundational
contributions to complex analysis. But this part seems muddled.
>
>
The Confusion
>
The author seems to be trying to tie together several deep and complex
mathematical concepts, but the ideas aren't connected in a coherent way.
Here's why the text feels confusing:
>
Jumping Between Topics: The author shifts between several high-level
topics (complex numbers, Lie algebras, algebraic geometry, integral vs.
differential analysis, Eulerian-Gaussian complex analysis) without
clearly explaining the connections. The sentence structure doesn’t help,
making it hard to follow the thread of the argument.
>
Overloaded Concepts: Terms like "hypercomplex," "Lie algebras,"
"Zariski," "Kodaira," and "revived integral analysis" are all heavy
concepts, and it feels like the author is trying to pack too much into a
short passage. They don't explain why these ideas are important
together, which makes it harder to see the point they're trying to make.
>
Disjointed References to Historical Figures: The references to Euler,
Gauss, and de Moivre, followed by figures in algebraic geometry (like
Zariski and Kodaira), create an odd mixture of topics. It seems like the
author is trying to show a broad historical sweep, but the transitions
between topics are jarring.
>
"Reaching Limits": The idea of complex analysis "reaching its limits" is
unclear. Does the author mean the classical theories are exhausted? Or
that modern developments have taken complex analysis in new directions?
It's not entirely clear, and the ambiguity leaves the reader uncertain
about what the author is trying to say.
>
Possible Clarified Interpretation
>
The author seems to be reflecting on how the traditional areas of
complex analysis (perhaps those associated with Euler, Gauss, and de
Moivre) have explored their limits, but they still have room to expand
in newer areas, like integral analysis. The mention of Lie algebras and
hypercomplex numbers might suggest that the author sees these as natural
extensions or alternatives to classical complex analysis, though the
connection between these ideas isn't fully made clear.
>
They also seem to be aware of the evolving nature of mathematics, where
fields like algebraic geometry (Zariski, Kodaira, Lefschetz, etc.) are
offering new insights that go beyond traditional complex analysis.
>
More Direct Rewriting (for clarity):
>
"While complex numbers are not the same as real numbers, they play an
important role in modeling transformations like rotations and
reflections. This also extends to hypercomplex numbers, like
quaternions, which are related to Lie algebras—structures that are
fundamental in both mathematics and physics.
>
I’m also aware of the work of algebraic geometers like Zariski, Kodaira,
Lefschetz, and Picard, who have pushed the boundaries of the field.
Recently, there’s been a resurgence of interest in integral analysis,
which contrasts with the traditional focus on differential analysis.
>
At the same time, the classical foundations of complex analysis—shaped
by Euler, Gauss, and de Moivre—might have reached their limits. But that
doesn't mean they’ve reached an infinite horizon. There are still many
ways complex analysis and related fields can evolve."

Does this make more sense now? The core issue seems to be that the
author is trying to express a complex idea but gets lost in the mix of
topics and terminology.

MAKING SENSE.

The "hypercomplex" numbers modeling reflections and rotations
aren't much about "the Argand plane" any-more.
That "complex analysis has reached its limits,
and not its infinite limits", means that
it's exhausted itself.
