Finite-length augmentation of minimal Dyck rationals to represent real numbers

About 5 years old · traced to

Let Drmin\mathcal{D}_{r_{\text{min}}} be the language of minimal Dyck-word representations, and consider augmenting its words with additional notation or productions. Finite-length real-representation conjecture. It is possible to augment Drmin\mathcal{D}_{r_{\text{min}}} so that words of finite length represent the set of real numbers. The conjecture proposes extending the existing finite-word representation of Q\mathbb{Q} to R\mathbb{R}, possibly by a vinculoid or markup mechanism, but does not specify the form of the augmentation.
