He succeeded in escaping the set of infinite number circles. By Carlos del Puente

 In a world ruled by logic and reason, surrealism opens a breach to the unknown, to the absurd, to the impossible. Today, we invite you to delve into a narrative where reality twists and bends, where the rational evaporates like mist at sunrise. This is the extraordinary tale of the one who managed to escape the infinite circles of numbers.

It was a morning like any other when Jérôme, a passionate and somewhat absent-minded mathematician, awoke with an idea buzzing in his mind: "What if numbers moved in infinite circles, like an eternal dance?" Intrigued by this thought, he rushed to his blackboard, where complicated equations formed a chaotic entanglement.

He drew a perfect circle, then another inside, and yet another, until his hand could no longer trace smaller circles. Each circle represented a universe of numbers, where integers, fractions, and imaginary numbers coexisted in perfect harmony.

As Jérôme explored these circles, he felt a strange presence. A tiny number, almost invisible, was watching him. This number, who introduced himself as Zero, explained to Jérôme that he was the guardian of the infinite circles.  "Each circle is a dimension of the possible," Zero murmured in a barely perceptible voice. "But only one who understands the essence of numbers can hope to escape."

Fascinated, Jérôme asked Zero to reveal the secret to escaping these circles. Zero smiled and replied, "You must find the point of infinity."

Jérôme's journey through the infinite circles of numbers was fraught with trials. He had to solve abstruse mathematical riddles, where square roots transformed into tree roots and multiplications into choreographies of starry dancers. At each stage, the circles became increasingly complex, twisting and merging in a hypnotic ballet.

One day, while calculating the sum of the angles of an impossible triangle, he encountered the Golden Ratio, which explained to him that beauty was the key to infinity. "Seek beauty in every equation, and you will find the way."

After what seemed like an eternity, Jérôme felt he was nearing his goal. The circles tightened around him, but he had learned to dance with them, to feel their rhythm and understand their language. Finally, he saw the point of infinity, a tiny luminous point floating in spacetime.

With all his knowledge and newfound understanding, Jérôme reached out to this point. The circles opened before him like a blooming flower, and he plunged into the unknown.

Jérôme emerged into a world where numbers were no longer symbols, but living beings. Each number had a personality, a history, an existence of its own. Pi danced with infinite grace, while Epsilon, shyly, observed from a corner.

He realized that escaping the infinite circles of numbers did not mean abandoning mathematics, but transcending them. He had discovered a universe where the absurd and the rational coexisted in perfect harmony.

Thus ends the surrealist tale of Jérôme, the mathematician who dared to defy infinity and discovered a world where numbers and imagination dance together in an eternal symphony. In this journey beyond the circles, he learned that the absurd is merely another facet of reality, a mirror reflecting the unknown.

In our quest for meaning, we are all Jérômes, seeking to unravel the mysteries of the universe. Perhaps, one day, we too will find our own point of infinity.
