Two, three, and four are clearly integers, and clearly rationals, and
clearly reals, and clearly ordinals, and clearly hypercomplex numbers
from each Cartesian product of a space-like and space-like, time-like,
and light-like dimensions.
Multiplication of reals with those except transfinite ordinals is
quite well-defined, with their products in the reals.
Robinso(h)n's hyperreals don't much add to the analytical character of
the real numbers. The halos of infinitesimals about a point are
simply dense halos about them without defining, for example, the
intuitive fluxions of Newton or for that matter iota-values, which is
a term I use to describe the infinitesimals, as reals or elements of
the continuum of reals, as sequence here from zero to one, dense and
continuous and contiguous. Then the hyperintegers are not much
different than transfinite ordinals, for distinct infinite sequences
of elements of a finite alphabet, and the cumulative limit hierarchy
of ordinals.
Basically the iota-values have various characters from how many
dimensions they are in or perspective. On the line, the 1-D line, the
elements we construct as rational approximations to be elements of the
complete ordered field, are two-sided points on the line. The
elements drawn as iota-values from one of the two-sided points as
endpoint to the next are one-sided points on the line. Then the iota-
values as elements of the continuum see R as R^bar and R^dots, or
R^crown (R^bar^dots, was R^bar^umlaut: Re^bar).
Then the reals of the real continuum satisfy at once being the
complete ordered field and the ring of infinitesimals about the
origin, that in their infinite extent are the continuum, as the
infinite rational approximations are the continuum, of real numbers,
pure and applied.
That's from first principles.
