Towards a method for fixing machine learning's persistent and catastrophic blind spots

Oh, and this is my current favourite “logical leap” challenge for ML people:

Teach your AI about real number arithmetic, exponentiation, etc. Now: discover complex numbers.

This usually leads to flustered expressions and “oh, well, that’s real intelligence”.

But without complex numbers, we miss out on the very world of technology which pretends to be AI.
