Abstract
We construct an isomorphism I between the category Ab of Ababou Constants and ab of
affine bundles. We explore some special cases, namely the image of (Z, ab) under I, and prove
that the distinguished Ababou constant is composite.
Preliminaries
ab denotes the distinguished Ababou constant, in other words the least upper bound on the
integers. This is the primary object of interest in Mohamed Ababou’s Theory of Numbers have
and end, in which he claims that the natural numbers do indeed have an “end".
The category Ab contains Ababou structures as its objects, and Ababou maps as its arrows.
By an Ababou structure, we mean an ordered ring equipped with an upper bound, which we
call the Yeet of the ring. Well known examples include (Z, ab) with the standard ordering [3].
ϕ(c1 ) = c2
The category ab contains affine bundles as its objects and affine bundle homomorphisms as
its arrows. An affine bundle is a fibre bundle
π:E→B
ψ
B C
In other words, it is a pair of maps preserving the fibres. By “preserving the affine structure", we
mean that given a point p ∈ B, ϕp is an affine space homomorphism (that is, a semilinear map).
For example, we may take E = R2 and F = R3 viewed as trivial vector bundles over R.
Let ϕ be the inclusion map (x, p) 7→ (x, 0, p), and ψ the identity map. Then it is clear that
ψ ◦ π1 = π2 ◦ ϕ, so the corresponding diagram commutes. Each map is continuous, and the
inclusion is linear. Thus (ϕ, ψ) is an affine bundle homomorphism. (It is in fact a vector bundle
homomorphism, which is a stronger condition.)

Construction of the Ab → ab Functor I
We construct I : Ab → ab as follows:
1. The empty Ababou structure is mapped to the empty bundle. Let A be the trivial
Ababou structure. Then I(A ) is the trivial bundle - the bundle with standard fibre {0},
with base space {0}. We extend this to define I on finite fields Zp (with an ordering
inherited from Z, with yeet p): (Zp , p) is mapped to the trivial bundle π : Rn × {0} → Rn ,
where n corresponds to the natural number such that p is the nth prime. For example,
For yeet > p, r = yeet − p is the rank of the fibre. Finally, Ababou structures that are
not rings are mapped to affine bundles that are not vector bundles in the natural way.
2. We now define the action of I on Ababou maps. Let â : R1 → R2 be an Ababou map such
that â(c1 ) = c2 , where c1 , c2 are the yeets of R1 , R2 respectively. Let ρ be the natural
group representation mapping into R. Then ρ(c1 ), ρ(c2 ) are the dimensions of the base
space of the domain and codomain of I(â) respectively. At each point in the base space,
I(â) canonically inherits semilinearity, so I(â) is an affine bundle homorphism as required.
3. We now check that I(idR ) = idI(R) . By definition, idR maps between two ababou struc-
tures with equal yeet. Thus I(idR ) is a map between bundles with the same base space.
Moreover, I(idR ) is clearly the identity on the fibres of bundle. Thus identity morphisms
are preserved.
4. Finally we check that composition of morphisms is preserved. This is an easy consequence
of the adjoint functor theorem.
The existence of an inverse functor to I is a well known corollary of the Ababou limit theorem.
Its construction is left as an exercise to the reader, but an outline of the construction is given
in, e.g., [5]. Therefore, we have an isomorphism between the category of Ababou constants Ab
and the category of affine bundles ab.
Futher Research
It is conjectured that there are deep links between ab and the discrete nature of physics at the
quantum scale [1]. As the exact value of ab is unknown, the precise structure of the Ababundle
is also unknown. However, many believe the 6 dimensional Calabi-Yau manifold is a submani-
fold of the base space of the Ababundle. If this is the case, the theoretical “quantum limit of
observation" can be calculated by considering the dimensions of the Ababundle.

It is likely that a careful adaptation of the Ababundle to spacetime and quantum field theory
will remove the need for renormalisation and regularisation. In current formulations, many un-
physical results are obtained, such as self-interactions resulting in infinite quantities. However,
the finite rank of the Ababundle will also provide an upper bound to the energies caused by
self-interactions.
In the realm of mathematics, one of the greatest achievements of the decade was the proof
by S.Shen that all series converge [6]. Now with access to the theory of affine bundles the exact
nature of the convergence may be determined.
W.Kim, who originally introduced the the category of Ababou constants Ab, has famously
been working in isolation for a number of years, most likely in an attempt to calculate the ho-
mology modules of the long exact Ababou sequence. This result is likely to aid in his research.
