      [continued from previous message]              >>>>>>>>>>>>>> It's two different natural notations that happen       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> to collide and thus result being ambiguous.       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> So, then these days we have the laws of arithmetic       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> introduced in primary school, usually kindergarten,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> about the operations on numbers, and also inequalities,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> and the order in numbers.       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Yet, even the usual account of addition and its       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> inverse and its recursion and that's inverse,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> as operators, of whole numbers, has a different       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> account, of increment on the one side, and, division       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> on the other, sort of like the Egyptians only had       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> division or fractions and Egyptian fractions,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> and tally marks are only increment, that though       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> it was the Egyptian fractions that gave them a       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> mathematics, beyond the simplest sort of conflation       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> of "numbering" and "counting".       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> So, where ".999 vis-a-vis 1" has a deconstructive account,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> to eliminate its ambiguities with respect to what it's       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> to model, or the clock-arithmetic and field-arithmetic,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> even arithmetic has a deconstructive account, then,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> even numbering versus counting has a deconstructive account,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> to help eliminate what are the usually ignored ambiguities.       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> So, pre-calculus, the course, goes to eliminate or talk       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> away the case .999, dot dot dot, different 1. Yet,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> it can be reconstrued and reconstructed, on its own       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> constructive account. So, it's a convention.       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> It's "multiplicity theory", see, that any, "singularity       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> theory", which results as of admitting only the principal       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> branch of otherwise a "bifurcation" or "opening" or       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> "catastrophe"       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> or "perestroika (opening)", as they are called in       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> mathematics,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> branches, that singularity theory is a multiplicity theory,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> yet the usual account has that it's just nothing,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> or that it's apeiron and asymptotic.       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> So, there's a clock arithmetic where there's a reason why       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> that there's a .999, dot dot dot, _before_ 1.0, in the       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> course of passage of values from 0, to 1, and, it's also       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> rather particularly only between 0 and 1, as what results       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> thusly a whole, with regards to relating it to the modularity       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> of integers, the integral moduli.       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Thusly, real infinity has itself correctly and constructively       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> back in numbers for "standard infinitesimals" here called       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> "iota-values".       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Then, this is totally simple and looks like f(n) = n/d,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> for n goes from zero to d and d goes to infinity, this       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> is a limit of functions for this function which is not-       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> a- real- function yet is a nonstandard function and that       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> has real analytical character, it's a discrete function       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> that's integrable and whose integral equals 1, it illustrates       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> a doubling-space according to measure theory in the       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> measure problem,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> it's its own anti-derivative so all the tricks about the       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> exponential       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> function in functional analysis have their usual methods       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> about it,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> it's also a pdf and CDF of the natural integers at uniform       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> random,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> of which there are others, because there are at least       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> three laws       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> of large numbers, at least three Cantor spaces, at least       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> three       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> models of continuous domains, and, at least three probability       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> distributions of the naturals at uniform random.       >>>>>>>>>>>>>>       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> So, "iota-values" are not the same thing as the raw       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> differential,       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> which differential analysts will be very familiar with as       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> usually       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> not- the- raw- differential yet only as under the integral       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> bar       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> in the formalism, yet representing about the solidus or       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> divisor bar       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> the relation of two quantities algebraically, then indeed       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> there's       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> that "iota-values" are as of some "standard       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> infinitesimals", yet       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> only under the limit of function the "natural/unit       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> equivalency       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> function"       >>>>>>>>>>>>>> the N/U EF, about [0,1].
