it is at this juncture I feel morally obliged to point out

that the real numbers R are not, in fact, one dimentional, and are not, in fact, scalars.

They are vectors, having two dimentions each, both a magnitude and direction.

|-------0-------|
-n +n
magnitude, n
direction, -/+

Yes, I understand the definition of vector applies to everything under consideration except the Real numbers, because they're special, and we don't want to have apply our definitions to everything they could apply to.

Somebody give me the argument against, please?
