If I follow correctly, the reason it's not is because you're dividing zero by
two? meaning the magnitude of infinity would be zero.
... chat, is infinity just... zero, viewed from a different perspective?

@user-211 I agree! The problem is the limit as x->0 from the left and right
trend toward different infinities, meaning it's neither -infinity nor
+infinity. Which makes me think that it's the value that's exactly in the
middle, AKA zero.
Why wouldn't 1/0 be zero? Division is just inverse-multiplication, and
multiplying anything by zero is zero. Why wouldn't division use the same
rules? I don't understaaaaaand T.T

It's interesting to me that we can divide by infinity, but not zero. I feel
like it's true that dividing by zero would equal infinity (or maybe zero too
lol) but I don't know how to prove it T.T

@user-246
so... if infinity is the inverse of zero, then when inverted would infinity
also be zero?
if so, it follows that the [spectrum/dimension/cardinality/direction] that the
inversion is occurring upon might also have other steps inbetween. Unless it's
a binary thing, like "top and bottom" or "present and absent".
I wonder what those steps might look like? Clearly, since infinity minus
infinity does not equal zero, the steps inbetween (if they exist) would not be
numbers. If they were, then one single step from inverting infinity would be
1, but I don't believe that would be true.
On the topic of rings, the axioms would be things like "a ring is a ring if
you can trace a continuous line with a length of infinity across it's
ring-like-surface"? I wonder what the inverse of a length is... Or perhaps you
cannot invert a length, as to do so would give you a length of zero (in this
particular ring-like-case)

I disagree. What if we did not learn to count numerically, but instead viewed
all values as percentages between 0 and 1? Essentially, as a magnitude between
empty and full.
That would radically redefine our mathematics, and it's just one simple
change, one tweak, and suddenly negative numbers are just out of reach.

doing the best they can. that's what happens when you're oppressed in a

hey, what's the 10th root of 10? 0.1? dang that's so close to zero. I wonder

@user-36 ideally you'd convert to an arbitrary base (in this case 9) and shift
from there, but shifting two places might work. idk I haven't thought about it.

@user-36 I always conceptualized bases as "the amount of numbers you can stuff
into a bucket before you spill over to the next bucket". Call it a holdover
from learning binary a bit younger than most people would consider normal...
Anyway with base 2 it makes sense. Put one thing in the bucket, and if there's
something there then it spills over.
But if the bucket is ALWAYS full, as in base 1, then you'd have to do a tally
system like you said: essentially counting from 0, then adding one to the end
making 10, then 110 for two, and 1110 for three, and 11110 for four, etcetera.
The reason you leave 0 at the end is because zero is a number and must still
be represented as a tally - it just uses a different symbol for our human
interpretation. Zeroes deserve respect in base 1 just the same as any other
number! zero rights are human rights... no that doesn't quite work, zero
rights are number rights? nevermind that joke is stupid

@user-36 neat thanks
when I said 1-1 = 1/10 I meant 1/1 in decimal except the denominator is in
base 1 meaning it's represented as 10 (since 10 in base 1 equals 1 in base 10.
Or pretty much any other base.)
I'm trying to figure out why 00 is undefined. There's a lot of math notation
in that wikipedia article and I'm working through it bit by bit... I feel like
there's a bug in the code of the universe and I'm trying to understand it.
Like... why is dividing by zero undefined? That seems like a bug to me.

computer programming essentially boils down to putting the right values into
the right datastructures at the right time and in the right order.
If you count a function call as a datastructure, which I do, because I have

@user-36 Question - how do you do those cool superscript and subscript
notations?
Also: I don't think base 1 falls apart with negative exponents, for example
consider 1^-1 ----- it would evaluate to 1/10 in this system, which is not
1/1. Another example, 1^-3 would evaluate to 1/1110, which seems accurate to
me.
As for 0^0, I guess I think it does equal 1? Bear with me:
for any number n raised to an exponent e, you can write it like this:
1 * n * n * n ... with as many "* n"s as you have n's. for example:
1 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 9
or
1 * 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 = 625
in each case there's 3 or 5 instances of "* n" tacked onto the end. I don't
know the math notation for that.
now, when you raise something to the power of zero, it looks like this:
1
because there's zero "* n"s added to the end.
For negative exponents of course you divide instead of multiply, which is why
it ends up looking like a fraction.
So, it makes sense to me that 0 ^ 0 would equal 1, because it'd look like this:
1
while 0^1 would be
1 * 0

makes your point feel less valid to others, since even you don't believe in it

suburbs aren't boring because all the cool people live in cities,
suburbs are boring because all the cool people don't know you. But look

if you can't find any, then YOU are the cool people, and you should find the
slightly-less cool people and show them how to be cool.

I don't need to know the time, why would I bother? [distract from more
