In mathematics, there is a theorem that states that the number of computable numbers (and therefore, the numbers that can be named) is countable, but the total number of (real) numbers is uncountable. You can always name more, or compute more numbers, but they can always be counted. As to what that means in your field, I am not sure - perhaps Sokol can explicate.
