Definable real number

Summary

Informally, a definable real number is a real number that can be uniquely specified by its description. The description may be expressed as a construction or as a formula of a formal language. For example, the positive square root of 2, 2\sqrt{2}, can be defined as the unique positive solution to the equation x2=2x^2 = 2, and it can be constructed with a compass and straightedge.
