   Which isn't allowed.   
      
   You don't seem to understand that "changing the basis" means you have a   
   different system.   
      
   Yes, you can define such a system, but then your first step is to show   
   that your new system is actually useful.   
      
   All you are doing is showing that you don't understand what semantics   
   actually means.   
      
   My guess is your system is about a useful as a sports car with all 4   
   wheels removed.
