I am real and am not, I am all the answers to questions of higher powers, I am the completion of a field of already surpassing enormity.
Who am I?

Every riddle has an answer. Still...
I am at the root of something without a root.

I was trying to be discreet, but since no one else is
are you :
...........................i
(square root) √ -1 = i (or -i according to wiki)

Almost there!
(the square root of -1 is both +i and -i just like the square root of 4 is both +2 and -2)

sgt.null is not the answer though he might perhaps provide the answer.

Square Root of Zero (as Zero has no value so thus no root) and yet when multiplied by 0 it is a square unto itself.

Sadly, that is not the answer. Zero, like one, is I, but I am not zero nor one.

My field is infinitely wide and infinitely long, but I am a finite being. You may find me by distance and direction. Though i is I, I am not i.
