I'm waiting for the penny to drop for Anders Lindman...
I haven't seen such a claim. But I haven't read much of this thread. I started posting when the thread was already very long.
It is very simply, the expression "2" is not the same as the expression "{2}".
Most people simply get it, but no professional mathematicians like jsfisher, for example.Wow! and we all needed to wait for OM to tell us that!

You must have missed his threads...
The fact that any point on a defined line can be located is not supported by your "can't be = AND ≠ to another 0-dimensional space" nonsense. It only takes to ask you for the nth time which number is missing from set R to prove that you are not in control of the mechanism that supplies you with the scattered visions that you suffer from.In general jsfisher belongs to a tradition, which claims that a line is completely covered by points.
I show that the reasoning of this tradition is based on contradiction because some distinct 0-dimensional space can't be = AND ≠ to another distinct 0-dimensional space along a 1-dimensional space, /snip/
The fact that you do not understand the total locality of a given 0-dimensional space (point) along a 1-dimensional space (line), does not prevent the inability of a point to be simultaneously at one and only one location w.r.t the line, and does not prevent from the line to be simultaneously at more than one location w.r.t the point, such that there is always an uncovered line w.r.t to any amount of points along it.The fact that any point on a defined line can be located is not supported by your "can't be = AND ≠ to another 0-dimensional space" nonsense. It only takes to ask you for the nth time which number is missing from set R to prove that you are not in control of the mechanism that supplies you with the scattered visions that you suffer from.
Aproximate forms, such as 0.999..., are never used in transformations and/or proofs. The aproximate form is a conversion from the exact to the radix format in order to apply the result of some math operation. Or have you ever seen expression, like log 356 Fahrenheit? The concept of the limit doesn't prevent locating a point between the limit and f(x). Once again, if your novel aproximate expression 0.000...1 is the difference between 1 and 0.999..., then it is not a point, but a segment line, which can be further divided. I'm tired of repeating the same thing . . .The fact that you do not understand the total locality of a given 0-dimensional space (point) along a 1-dimensional space (line), does not prevent the inability of a point to be simultaneously at one and only one location w.r.t the line, and does not prevent from the line to be simultaneously at more than one location w.r.t the point, such that there is always an uncovered line w.r.t to any amount of points along it.
Because of this fact 0.999…[base 10] < 1 by 0.000…1[base 10], where the expression "…1" of 0.000…1[base 10] is the uncovered 1-dimesional space w.r.t any cardinality of some collection of 0-dimensional spaces along it.
You are a weird case epix, because you agree with me that 0.999…[base 10] < 1, but you doing your best in order to show that I am wrong about this subject.
You contradict yourself.Stop thinking in terms of approximate formats, otherwise you will keep believing that your invention "0.000...1" is the smallest and indivisible difference or whatever it represents in your head.
Since 0.000...1[base 10] is a non-strictvalue, it can't be the smallest existing value under [base 10], because being smallest is being strict value (for example 0 or 1), and 0.000...1[base 10] is a non-strict and therefore it is simultaneously smaller than any strict or non-strict value > 0 that exists under [base 10] AND it is also > 0.
You simply do not understand that the magnitude of existence of 1-dimensional space is stronger than the magnitude of existence of any given infinite collection of 0-dimensional spaces along it, such that the magnitude of any collection of 0-dimensional spaces is inaccessible w.r.t the magnitude of 1-dimensional space, where 0.000...1[base 10] is some example of this inaccessibility.
Fixed that for you. You cannot have a digit after infinity of zeros. Try to understand that. It's easy, really.

0.000...1 is an expression of the inability of a collection of 0-dimensional spaces to be 1-dimensional space, and the inability of 1-dimensional space to be 0-dimensional space.Fixed that for you. You cannot have a digit after infinity of zeros. Try to understand that. It's easy, really.
It is easy for someone who understands what infinity means. Doron does not and does not wish to understand either.

It is easy for someone who understands what infinity means. sympathic does not and does not wish to understand either, because he refuses to understand the difference between actual infinity like the non-locality of 1-dimensional space, and potential infinity, like a collection 0-dimensional spaces that can't be a 1-dimensional space, no matter what is the cardinality of this collection.
No, you don't.I see ...
I think that you are experiencing total collapse of reason and that also obscured the meaning of the word "contradiction." Let me remind you:You contradict yourself.
Since 0.000...1[base 10] is a non-strict value, it can't be the smallest existing value under [base 10], because being smallest is being strict value (for example 0 or 1), and 0.000...1[base 10] is a non-strict and therefore it is simultaneously smaller than any strict or non-strict value > 0 that exists under [base 10] AND it is also > 0.
You continue to violate the rule that prohibits aproximate numerical formats to enter math arguments. Now you came up with another "novelty" and that's the expression "...1" which is a length of a line segment that, according to you, can be no longer divided, coz the points of divisions cannot be located on that line segment that represents the expression. Even though you have been shown that any real number is divisible, you hold "...1" indivisible. You don't bother to classify your novelty expressions and if you do, you omit to supply definitions, and if you don't forget, then the definiens include other "novelty terms."Because of this fact 0.999…[base 10] < 1 by 0.000…1[base 10], where the expression "…1" of 0.000…1[base 10] is the uncovered 1-dimesional space w.r.t any cardinality of some collection of 0-dimensional spaces along it.
Suppose there is only the quoted statement, but no reference to what is the nature of the contradiction. In that case what kind of contradiction does that statement refer to?You contradict yourself.
You contradict yourself.
Since 0.000...1[base 10] is a non-strict value, it can't be the smallest existing value under [base 10], because being smallest is being strict value (for example 0 or 1), and 0.000...1[base 10] is a non-strict and therefore it is simultaneously smaller than any strict or non-strict value > 0 that exists under [base 10] AND it is also > 0.
You simply do not understand that the magnitude of existence of 1-dimensional space is stronger than the magnitude of existence of any given infinite collection of 0-dimensional spaces along it, such that the magnitude of any collection of 0-dimensional spaces is inaccessible w.r.t the magnitude of 1-dimensional space, where 0.000...1[base 10] is some example of this inaccessibility.
“smaller than any strict or non-strict value > 0 that exists under [base 10] AND it is also > 0”, so it is smaller than itself?
Once again it simply means that your “1-dimensional space is” a collection of one dimensional spaces
There can be any cardinality of R members along ...1 and still ...1 exists exactly because the magnitude of existence of non-locality like ...1 is stronger than the cardinality of any collection of R members along it (R members are local-only things, where ...1 is a non-local thing).Since "...1" is real non-sense, then it must be a real number and therefore it is divisible, and if it is divisible, then the points of division do exist, and since the field of real numbers is infinitely divisible by definition, then there are infinitely many locations on that line segment that represents "...1" where you can point your finger on. End of proof.
“smaller than any strict or non-strict value > 0 that exists under [base 10] AND it is also > 0”, so it is smaller than itself? Also if it is “smaller than any strict or non-strict value > 0 that exists under [base 10] AND it is also > 0” then it is your smallest “value > 0 that exists under [base 10]” by your own assertions. Talk about contradicting yourself.
Again your reasoning collapses under the misleading reasoning of complete infinite collection, which is no more than your fantasy.
Once again The Man you can't distinguish between a complex like infinitely many segments and non-complex like 1-dimensional space, which exists independently of any collection of points or segments along it, simply because its magnitude of existence is stronger than any collection, including collection of segments, which do not have the completeness of 1-dimensional space.
This is exactly the reason of why a collection of segments like number 0.999...[base 10] < 1 by the infinitesimal number 0.000...1[base 10].
In general you do not understand the qualitative difference between the complex and the non-complex, because you are limited only to quantitative reasoning, whiteout the understanding that Quantity is the result of the link between different qualities (known as Non-locality and locality), and not vice versa.
Your limited reasoning simply can't grasp the notion of "permanently smaller" (in the case of infinite interpolation), or "permanently greater" (in the case of infinite extrapolation).
As can be seen, for example, in the case of 0.000...1[base 2] (which is the complement of 0.111...[base 2] to 1,
or in the case of 0.000...1[base 3] (which is the complement of 0.111...[base 3] to 1,
[qimg]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2793/4318895416_e5d2042b0c_z.jpg?zz=1[/qimg]
in both cases the infinitesimals 0.000...1 are smaller than the previous infinitely many segments,
which exist upon the scale levels of 0.111…[base 2] or 0.222…[base 3] AND greater than 0.
The existence of 0.000...1 is the result of the inaccessibility of the complex to the non-complex, which is an essential fact that can't be grasped by your complex-only\strict-only\local-only reasoning.
So 0.999... < 1. That's very nice, coz all numbers should be included in R and those numbers whose fractional part is made of one digit that repeats itself infinitely shouldn't make an exemption. So if we divide 0.999... by 3, we get another such number.Because of this fact 0.999…[base 10] < 1 by 0.000…1[base 10], where the expression "…1" of 0.000…1[base 10] is the uncovered 1-dimesional space w.r.t any cardinality of some collection of 0-dimensional spaces along it.
and your claim that "0.999... < 1" will become Turbulent Nonsense of Unusual Desire residing within the pink walls of Organic Mathematics, the heir designated to Traditional Mathematics.In mathematics, the repeating decimal 0.999... which may also be written as 0.9, or 0.(9), denotes a real number that can be shown to be the number one. In other words, the symbols 0.999... and 1 represent the same number. Proofs of this equality have been formulated with varying degrees of mathematical rigour, taking into account preferred development of the real numbers, background assumptions, historical context, and target audience.
We are not talking about any specific member of a given collection, but about the fact that the magnitude of existence of any given infinite collection (where a collection is a complex thing) is smaller than the magnitude of existence of non-complex AND non-local thing.The Man said:Again please show what member of such an infinite collection is not a member of that collection. Until you do the fantasies remain completely yours.
Would you able to distinguish between Emptiness, Fullness, (a), (b) and (b)_________(b) , or just continue to expound your self-inconsistent fantasies?The Man said:Would you like to actually address the self-inconsistency of that assertion or just continue to expound your self-inconsistent fantasies?
Once again The Man, your reasoning is unable to grasp the inability of a segment to be a point (which is resulted by infinitely many smaller segments that are naturally > 0), and since we are dealing with infinitely many segments, then no one of them is the final and smallest segment > 0.Once again Doron that it “is a non-strict value” and is “smaller than any strict or non-strict value > 0 that exists under [base 10] AND it is also > 0” was your assertion and would make it smaller than itself.
We are not talking about any specific member of a given collection, but about the fact that the magnitude of existence of any given infinite collection (where a collection is a complex thing) is smaller than the magnitude of existence of non-complex AND non-local thing.
As a result the magnitude of existence of non-complex AND non-local thing is inaccessible to any magnitude of existence of complex of infinitely many things.
It is very simple to understand this notion, as follows:
...____________... is the non-complex 1-dimensional space, which exists independently of any sub-things along it, whether these sub-things are collection of 0-dimensional spaces or collection of segments, where each segment has the magnitude of existence of a complex that is inaccessible to the magnitude of existence of ...____________... , which is the non-complex 1-dimensional space.
Before we start to research the difference between the existing complex and the existing non-complex, we define our framework that exists between two opposite totalities, which are Emptiness that is defined as “that has no predecessor”, and Fullness that is defined as “that has no successor”.
According to this framework, Cardinality is the measurement of the magnitude of existence of a given thing.
This framework is notated as:
∞(
)
where ∞( ) represents Fullness, and the unmarked space between ( ) represents Emptiness.
Any given dimensional space that is defined by an integer, is a non-complex thing, and it exists independently of any other non-complex or complex dimensional spaces w.r.t it, as follows (this is an example, which uses 0-dimensional space and 1-dimensional space, without a loss of generality):
a) ...____________... is the non-complex 1-dimensional space.
b) . is the non-complex 0-dimensional space.
c) The cardinality of the complex result of (a) AND (b), is smaller than the cardinality of (a).
d) Under (c), (a) is connectivity….
…and (b) is isolation, where connectivity or isolation are qualitative distinct properties.
e) By using the qualitative distinct properties of non-complex (a) and non-complex (b) under complex (a) AND (b), any complex (a) AND (b) has cardinality that is smaller than the cardinality of non-complex (a) ,such that (a) is the minimal case that has simultaneous existence at an beyond any arbitrary given (b), which is a property that no (b) has w.r.t to (a) or another (b).
f) No infinite amount of segments ( where a segment is complex result of (a) AND (b) ) has the cardinality of (a), simply because (a) exists independently and beyond any collection of sub-elements along it, for example:
...___________.________.___________... and it is easily and unconditionally understood that the cardinality of (a) is beyond (is greater than) the cardinality of any collection of (b) or segments (b)_________(b), along it.
g) This fact is unchanged, whether complex (a) AND (b) converges ( has the tendency to be (b) ) or diverges ( has the tendency to be (a) ).
Would you able to distinguish between Emptiness, Fullness, (a), (b) and (b)_________(b) , or just continue to expound your self-inconsistent fantasies?
EDIT:
Once again The Man, your reasoning is unable to grasp the inability of a segment to be a point (which is resulted by infinitely many smaller segments that are naturally > 0),
and since we are dealing with infinitely many segments, then no one of them is the final and smallest segment > 0.
In other words, your weak reasoning forces notions that are taken from finite collection of segments, on a collection of infinitely many ever smaller segments.
By the way, the "signature" of non-locality in nature is shown by experiments like http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0808/0808.3316v1.pdf .
No The Man, we are specifically talking about your inability to grasp that any given complex (and a non-empty set is a complex) can't reach the magnitude of existence of the non-local AND non-complex, which is not a set and not a member of a set (for example: 1-dimensional space, if its non-local property is considered).The Man said:No Doron we were specifically talking about your assertion of what you claim is “the misleading reasoning of complete infinite collection”. So again please show what member of such an infinite collection is not a member of that collection. Until you do the fantasies remain completely yours.
So are you now claiming an infinite collection is complete?
Are you claiming that you are unable to get the simple notion that a line (if its non-local property is considered) is not a set and not a member of a set, but it is a non-local and non-complex mathematical object?The Man said:Are you claiming that the cardinality of a set containing a line is greater that the cardinality of a set containing two rays? If so your going to have to show how you arrive at that obviously erroneous result.
No The Man, you simply can't get the simple fact that a segment can't be reduced into a point exactly because of the existence of incomplete collection of smaller segments upon infinitely many scale levels, where 0.000…1 is the ever smaller AND > 0 segement. No segment is smaller than itself exactly because the collection of ever smaller segments is infinite, and no one of its members is a point.The Man said:In the exact words I used above your self-contradictory assertions force your “infinitesimal number 0.000...1[base 10].” to simply be smaller than itself and your smallest segment.
As explained to you before The Man, your fundamental inability to distinguish between a complex thing like collection and a non-complex thing like the non-locality of 1-dimansional space, put you under the category of meaningless replies about this interesting subject.The Man said:As explained to you before Doron in physics ‘non-local’ has a very specific meaning related to space like separations. It has nothing to do with your “"signature" of non-locality” which is evidently you just spouting self-contradictory nonsense.
Now we see that you can't distinguish between total connectivity ( which is at least 1-dimensional space self state, notated as (a) ) and connectivity under complex (a) AND (b).The Man said:“Connectivity”? of what or to what? Remember “1-dimensional space, which exists independently of any sub-things along it, whether these sub-things are collection of 0-dimensional spaces or collection of segments”. You’ve got nothing to ‘connect’ by your own self imposed limitation.
Once again you can't distinguish between the complex and the non-complex.The Man said:Once again a space is not independent of its subspaces.
No The Man, a line is not a set, not a member of a set (if its non-local property is considered), a collection or any other complex thing.The Man said:No Doron a set containing just a line has a cardinality of 1
Wrong once again, for example 1-dimensional space exists whether there are 0-dimansional spaces or segments along it, or not.The Man said:Once again a space is not independent of its subspaces.
That all depends . . .Once again a space is not independent of its subspaces.
It is very simply, the expression "2" is not the same as the expression "{2}".
If such a space exists, then show an example of it -- just draw it.Wrong once again, for example 1-dimensional space exists whether there are 0-dimansional spaces or segments along it, or not.
Your reading comprehension has failed you, doron. That isn't what I said. Nevertheless, here's a repeat of some of your more interesting claims:
- 2 is not a member of the set {2}.
- A set is equal to the union of its members.
- 1/4 and 0.25 different numbers.
- Sets, maps, and functions are all the same thing.
- Geometry is a very weak branch of Mathematics.
- The construct A if B is equivalent to A only if B.
- There is no such thing as a number in standard Mathematics.
- From a structural point of view 1/4 is a single AND strict location along segment 0_______1, where 0.25[base 10] is a non-single AND strict location along 0_______1.
As I said, your reasoning is limited to Quantity, by avoiding any reasoning which deals with the foundation that enables Quantity, in the first place.The Man said:No Doron a set containing just a line has a cardinality of 1
You mean 0.25 represents more than one point? If not, what do you mean by non-single?
(And why the need to note that 0.25 is base 10, but not for 1/4?)
Good question!(And why the need to note that 0.25 is base 10, but not for 1/4?)
From a structural view 0.25 has more than a one location along 0_______1
