Technically, floating point also imitates irrational and whole numbers as well. Not all numbers though, you'd need a more uhm... elaborate structure to represent complex numbers, surreal numbers, vectors, matrices, and so on.
It does not even imitate all rationals. For example 1/3.
.... Surreal numbers?!?

-
Rings don’t resemble circles
-
Fields aren’t literal open spaces
-
Normal has about 20 different meanings
-
Chaos is not random
