Inseparable nimber extensions #

Let t be an algebraically closed nimber, and let t(t) denote the smallest nimber field larger than t. Then the next few fields after t(t) are t(t) ^ 2 ^ n as n ranges over ℕ, and these are all purely inseparable extensions over t(t) obtained by adjoining the 2 ^ n-th root of t. After these then t(t) ^ ω is a perfect field and so all further extensions are too until the next algebraically closed nimber.
