In the context of non-Diophantine approximations, demonstrating that a given irrational number, $\alpha$, has an unbounded partial quotient sequence in its continued fraction expansion implies that there exists no constant $k > 0$ such that $| \alpha - \frac{p}{q} | > \frac{k}{q^2}$ for all rational numbers $\frac{p}{q}$, thereby characterizing its ______.

Given the field extension $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2})$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, demonstrating that the minimal polynomial of $\sqrt[3]{2}$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ is $x^3 - 2$ through Eisenstein's criterion guarantees that $\sqrt[3]{2}$ is not an element of $\mathbb{Q}$, thereby rigidly establishing its ______.

Within the framework of p-adic numbers, a number is classified as a p-adic integer if its p-adic norm is less than or equal to 1; consequently, by demonstrating that a real number's p-adic approximation via Hensel's Lemma converges to a solution within the p-adic integers, one is intrinsically working with an element that, while potentially irrational in \mathbb{R}, possesses a specific ______ structure in \mathbb{Q}_p.

Consider a Dedekind cut $\alpha = (A, B)$ in the rational numbers; demonstrating that neither $A$ contains a largest element nor $B$ contains a smallest element, while also ensuring that $A$ and $B$ are non-empty and their union equals $\mathbb{Q}$, ensures that $\alpha$ represents a(n) ______ real number.

Establishing that a convergent sequence of rational numbers, ${q_n}_{n=1}^{\infty}$, converges to a limit $L$ that, when incorporated into Liouville's approximation theorem, violates the condition that for any positive integer $n$, there exist integers $p$ and $q$ with $q > 1$ such that $|L - \frac{p}{q}| < \frac{1}{q^n}$, would categorically imply that $L$ is a(n) ______ number.

If one is operating within the surreal numbers and constructs a number $\omega$ (omega) such that $\omega$ is greater than any standard integer $n \in \mathbb{Z}$, and subsequently demonstrates that $\frac{1}{\omega}$ is a positive number smaller than any positive standard real number $r \in \mathbb{R}_{>0}$, then $\frac{1}{\omega}$ is characterized as a(n) ______, embodying the extensions beyond the standard real numbers.

Consider the construction of real numbers via Cauchy sequences of rational numbers; if a Cauchy sequence ${q_n}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is demonstrated to converge but not to any rational numberthat is, its limit $L$ (in the completion of $\mathbb{Q}$) is provably not an element of $\mathbb{Q}$then $L$ is necessarily categorized as a(n) ______ number by this construction.

When applying Gelfond's theorem, proving that a number of the form $\alpha^\beta$ is transcendental necessitates that $\alpha$ is an algebraic number not equal to 0 or 1, and that $\beta$ is an ______ algebraic number, underscoring the theorem's conditions for transcendental number generation.

In the context of algebraic number theory, if an algebraic integer $\alpha$ is proven to have a minimal polynomial over $\mathbb{Q}$ with a degree strictly greater than 1, it necessarily follows that $\alpha$ cannot be a rational number. Therefore, $\alpha$'s existence unequivocally classifies it as a(n) ______ algebraic number.

Consider an integral domain $D$. If an element $a \in D$ has no multiplicative inverse within $D$, demonstrating that there does not exist any $b \in D$ such that $ab = 1_D$, and if $a$ is not the zero element ($a \neq 0_D$), then the element $a$ being expressible in the form $p/q$ where $p, q \in \mathbb{Z}$ necessitates that, within the scope of real numbers, $a$ is a(n) ______ number.

Suppose one employs the Euclidean algorithm to compute the greatest common divisor (GCD) of two integers, $a$ and $b$, specifically when aiming to demonstrate that the equation $ax + by = c$ has integer solutions for $x$ and $y$; if one finds that $c$ is not a multiple of $\text{GCD}(a, b)$, it follows that solutions within the field of integers do not exist, and the numbers involved (specifically $x$ and $y$) might necessitate analysis within the domain of ______ numbers, if solutions are sought in a broader number system.

Given the task of approximating the value of $\pi$ using Monte Carlo methods, whereby random points are uniformly generated within a square circumscribing a circle, demonstrating that the ratio of points falling inside the circle to the total points converges (as the number of points approaches infinity) to $\frac{\pi}{4}$ allows one to estimate $\pi$. However, the true value of $\pi$ remains inherently ______, irrespective of the precision achieved through statistical approximations.

Within the context of metric spaces, demonstrating that the completion of the rational numbers $\mathbb{Q}$ under the standard Euclidean metric yields the real numbers $\mathbb{R}$ (i.e., $\overline{\mathbb{Q}} = \mathbb{R}$) inherently introduces numbers that are limits of Cauchy sequences of rationals but are not themselves rational; these newly incorporated numbers are fundamentally ______, showcasing the incompleteness of $\mathbb{Q}$.

When analyzing the ring of Gaussian integers $\mathbb{Z}[i] = {a + bi : a, b \in \mathbb{Z}}$, identifying a Gaussian primean element that cannot be written as the product of two non-unit Gaussian integersand then demonstrating that the norm of this Gaussian prime (i.e., $a^2 + b^2$ for $a + bi$) is a prime number in $\mathbb{Z}$ congruent to 1 modulo 4, it implies that the original prime in $\mathbb{Z}$ is expressible as a sum of two squares. However, the numbers $a$ and $b$ representing the Gaussian integer components remain strictly ______, as elements of $\mathbb{Z}$.

In the landscape of formal language theory, if one constructs a Turing machine designed to enumerate all possible strings that can be generated from a given alphabet, and if demonstrating that the set of these strings is countably infinite, while concurrently showing that the set of all possible real numbers between 0 and 1 is uncountably infinite suggests that, there invariably exists real numbers whose digit sequences cannot be generated or recognized by any Turing machine; such numbers are consequently indicative of a class beyond algorithmic constructibility, and thereby have ______ digits.

Consider a scenario in computational complexity where one aims to determine whether a given computational problem is solvable in polynomial time (i.e., within the complexity class P) or is NP-complete.
