/// Represents a **Complex Field** — a field extension of the reals with

///
/// A complex field is a field where elements can be decomposed into real
/// and imaginary parts, and complex conjugation is defined.
///
/// # Mathematical Definition
///
/// A complex field `K` over a real field `R` satisfies:
/// 1. `K` is a `Field`.
/// 2. There exists an involution (conjugation) `*: K → K` such that:
/// - `(a + b)* = a* + b*`
/// - `(a · b)* = a* · b*`
/// - `(a*)* = a`
/// - `a · a*` is a non-negative real for all `a`
/// 3. Every element `z ∈ K` can be written as `z = x + iy` where `x, y ∈ R`.
///
/// # Examples
/// - Complex numbers `ℂ` over `ℝ`
/// - Split-complex numbers (hyperbolic numbers)
///
/// # Note
/// Quaternions and Octonions are NOT complex fields because they are not
/// commutative (Quaternions) or not associative (Octonions). They implement
/// `DivisionAlgebra` instead.
