Definition:Indiscrete Extension of Reals/Rational

Definition
Let $\struct {\R, \tau_d}$ be the real number line with the usual (Euclidean) topology.

Let $\Q$ denote the set of rational numbers.

Let $\tau^*$ be the indiscrete extension of $\struct {\R, \tau_d}$:
 * $\tau^* = \tau_d \cup \set {H: \exists U \in \tau_d: H = U \cap \Q}$

$\tau^*$ is then referred to as the indiscrete rational extension of $\R$.
