And what are those locations, exactly?
I guess one is exactly the same as 1/4 and the other one is 0,0...1 to the right.

And what are those locations, exactly?
And what are those locations, exactly?
EDIT:
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).
Any member of a given set belongs to a complex and since the cardinality of a complex is smaller than the cardinality of the non-local AND non-complex (which, again, it is not a set) we do not need to show some missing member of some complex, because our comparison is between the concept of non-empty set, which is no more than a complex, and the concept of non-locality AND non-complex, which its exitence is stonger than any given complex. Your complex-only reasoning simply can't comprehend Emptiness, Fullness, (a), (b) or (b)______(b), as shown in http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6564133&postcount=12348.
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?
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.
As a result 0.999…[base 10] < 1 by the ever smaller segment 0.000…1[base 10] of the infinite (and therefore incomplete) collection of segments.
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.
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).
Also you do not distinguish between total isolation ( which is at least 0-dimensional space self state, notated as (b) ) and isolation under complex (a) AND (b).
Once again you can't distinguish between the complex and the non-complex.
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.
Wrong once again, for example 1-dimensional space exists whether there are 0-dimansional spaces or segments along it, or not.
The Man, your two last posts trivially demonstrate that you simply have no clue of what you are trying to criticize.
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.
No Doron it is defined by the set, specifically what does and does not constitute a member of that set, but of course that has been explained to you before as well.The amount of a given collection is defined by the linkage among Non-locality and Locality.
The simplest result (without a loss of generality) of this linkage is done between 1-dimensional space, known as Line, and 0-dimensional spaces, known as Points.
One of the notations of Non-locality is done by "{" and "}", where the cardinality is determined by the number of the distinct objects that are defined between "{" and "}" (and in this post we shell use the traditional notion of the concept of Cardinality).
This notion is equivalent to the amount of the objects that are defined along a 1-dimensional space, as follows:
If there are no objects along the 1-dimensional space, than the cardinality is 0.
If there are objects along the 1-dimensional space, then the cardinality is the number of distinct objects along the 1-dimensional space.
Be aware of the following facts:
1) "{" "}" or ...________... exists (or used, if you wish) even if there are no objects (the cardinality is 0).
2) Any cardinality > 0 is a result of the linkage between "{" "}" or ...________..., where "{" "}" or ...________... is the non-local property, which enables the membership between distinct objects that are local w.r.t "{" "}" or ...________... (they belong XOR not belong to "{" "}" or ...________...), and this membership is exactly the non-local property of "{" "}" or ...________... w.r.t to the distinct objects, which enables the existence of non-empty collections, and the value of the Cardinality of non-empty collections.
3) It is a simple fact that any given amount of distinct objects that are determined by the linkage between the distinct objects and "{" "}" or ...________..., does not have the non-local property of "{" "}" or ...________... w.r.t the collection of such objects, because being non-local is logically be at AND beyond the collected objects (and in this case the cardinality of the non-local is greater than the cardinality of the collected objects), whether "beyond" enables the infinite interpolation or infinite extrapolation of a given collection of distinct objects w.r.t "{" "}" or ...________...
The Man said:If it is “not a set and not a member of a set” then cardinality simply does not apply.
Again you demonstrate your limited reasoning, which gets things only in terms of points, and the number of names that are related to them.The Man said:As already explained to you the “1” in “1-dimensional” specifically refers to the number of coordinates needed to define a point in that space.
It is already done, but since you are unable to grasp Emptiness, Fullness Locality, Non-locality etc…, you simply unable to distinguish between the non-complex ( for example: ∞( 2(),0() ) and the complex ( for example: ∞( 2(0(x,y)) ) ) no matter how many times it is explained to you.The Man said:If you are going to try to define your own “dimensionality” without points then your are going to need something to quantify that dimensionality. So please define your “dimensionality” without points and how you quantify that “dimensionality”
Yet, it is an existing thing, even it does not have any members (which is a fact that you do not understand its influence on Set Theory and the Mathmatical Science).The Man said:The empty set has neither points nor a line.
If one claims that the sum of converges lengths has the exact value of a given limit, then one actually claims that a given line segment is reducible into a point.The Man said:Once again who ever claimed that a segment could be reduced to a zero dimensional point?
Not at all.The Man said:Are you claiming that you lose your “non-local property” of your “"{" "}" or ...________..., “ in your “linkage between the distinct objects and "{" "}" or ...________..., “?
Let me correct it for you. If Cardinality is the number of distinct objects of a given set, then the cardinality of a non-empty set is defined by the linkage among Non-locality and Locality.The Man said:Remember Doron.
“The amount of a given collection is defined by the linkage among Non-locality and Locality”
EDIT:
My answer is about the traditional and the non-traditional definition of Cardinality.
------
First let's reply to your last comments, which are related to my non-traditional definition of Cardinality:
The non-traditional definition of Cardinality:
Cardinality is the magnitude of existence of a given thing, which has at least the weakest or strongest magnitude of existence, as follows:
a) Emptiness, which is defined as "that has no predecessor", has cardinality 0, which is the weakest cardinality.
b) Fullness, which is defined as "that has no successor", has cardinality ∞, which is the strongest cardinality.
The strongest cardinality is stronger than any other given cardinality, such that any object that has the strongest cardinality, is at and beyond any existing thing that is compared to it (Emptiness, which has cardinality 0, is excluded because it is not an existing thing).
Non-locality and Locality are the result of the comparison between that has the strongest cardinality, with that does (or do) not has (or have) the strongest cardinality (Emptiness, which has cardinality 0, is excluded because it is not an existing thing).
Under this comparison (or linkage, if you will) among existing things; that has the strongest cardinality is simultaneously at AND beyond any existing thing (or collection of existing things) that does (or do) not have cardinality ∞.
1-dimensional space is the smallest existing thing that has cardinality ∞.
0-dimensional space is the smallest existing thing that has cardinality > 0, such that 0-dimensional space is the immediate successor of Emptiness, if Cardinality is the magnitude of existence of a given thing.
Because 1-dimensional space and 0-dimesional space are both existing things, then (as mentioned above) 1-dimesional space enables to be simultaneously at AND beyond any given 0-dimesional space along it, where any given 0-dimensional space along 1-dimensional space, can't be simultaneously at AND beyond 1-dimentional space.
------
Second, let's reply to your last comments, which are related to the traditional definition of Cardinality:
The traditional definition of Cardinality:
Cardinality is the number of distinct objects that belongs to an existing thing, called a set.
a) Emptiness, is the absence of any distinct objects of an existing set.
b) Fullness, is an undefined concept under the traditional notion of Set.
I claim that Fullness is used by mathematicians as an essential property of Set, even if it is not formally defined by them, as follows:
1) The fact that a set is an existing thing even if it does not have members, is not formalized by the traditional mathematicians, and as a result the cardinality of a set is defined only as the number of the distinct members, that belongs to a given existing set.
2) The existence of a set beyond the existence of its members is exactly the non-local property (which is not formalized by the traditional mathematicians) of the concept of set, which is not influenced by the number of the distinct members that are related to it.
3) Actually without the existence of a set beyond its members (which can be shown right from the existence of the empty set beyond Emptiness), there is no way to formally define any collection.
4) By understanding this fundamental fact, there is a way to formalize the existence of a set, such that it exists beyond any given collection of distinct members, which are related to it.
5) By understanding (1),(2),(3),(4), one defines the existence of a set beyond its members, as the non-local property of a set w.r.t its members, where the collection of any non-emply set is local w.r.t the existence of the set.
6) (5) is logically demonstrated by the inaccessibility of any amount of distinct objects to be beyond "{" and "}" , which is equivalent to the inability of any amount of points or segments to be beyond 1-dimensional space.
1-dimensional space exists beyond of any amount of points or segments along it, exactly as the empty set exists beyond the existence of members.
But traditional Math never formalized this fundamental fact, and as a result it lives under the illusion that there is such a thing like infinite AND complete collection of distinct objects.
Furthermore, according to Traditional Math one has to show some missing member of a given infinite collection of distinct members, in order to prove that such a collection is incomplete.
By doing that, Traditional Math ignores the fact that the concept of Set (and it is shown right from the existence of the empty set beyond its "members") exists beyond the existence of any given collection, and as a result any given collection is incomplete w.r.t the existence of the concept of Set.
Some claims that the name and cardinality of a given set is defined by the property and amount of its members, but it does not change the fundamental fact that a set exists beyond its members, no matter what cardinality or name are given to it.
Place holder X exists no matter what name or cardinality is given to it, and this is a fundamental fact of any generalization of some mathematical framework, which you, The Man, and other traditional thinkers, simply can't comprehend.
In other words, the definition of Set is not formally satisfied, if Non-locaily\Locality linkage is not defined.
The Man, please answer only by yes or no to the following question:The Man said:“the empty set beyond Emptiness”? So now your empty set isn’t, well, empty? What do you mean by “beyond Emptiness”?
He actually did and was right about it. If the member of the infinite collection is a number expressed as 0.999..., for example, then the traditional math showed with "varying degrees of rigor" that numbers whose fractional part comprises a single infinitely self-repeating digit don't exist.Again show what member of that infinite collection is not a member of that infinite collection, otherwise it is complete.
0.999...[base 10] is a numral that represents number 1, according to Traditional Math.He actually did and was right about it. If the member of the infinite collection is a number expressed as 0.999..., for example, then the traditional math showed with "varying degrees of rigor" that numbers whose fractional part comprises a single infinitely self-repeating digit don't exist.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.999...
So, you are again confirming that, according to you, 2 is not a member of the set {2}.Let us correct it:
- Number 2 (notated as "2") and number 2 as a member of a singleton set (notated as "{2}") is not the same expression.
So, you reconfirm you claim while demonstrating you blunder. Neither {{a}} nor {{b}} are members of the set {{a},{b}}.
- Set {{a},{b}} is the result of the union between set {{a}} and set {{b}}, where the members of {{a},{b}} are the members of set {{a}} and set {{b}}.
So, you are again confirming that, according to you, 1/4 is different from 0.25.
- 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.
So, you are again confirming that, according to you, sets, maps, and functions are all the same thing.
- A comparison between objects of one or more collections is based on the same principle, which is the linkage between non-locality and locality.
What has this to do with Geometry? Are you claiming (now) that Geometry does not have a concept of 'infinite'?
- Any mathematical branch that does not deal with the non-finite is weaker than any mathematical branch that deals with the non-finite.
Certainly for any post by you, independent of the forum in which you place it, mathematical concepts are divorced from their formal meaning.
- In this philosophical thread, "only if" and "if and only if" are not always used by their formal mathematical meaning.
- The concept of Number under Mathematics is understood according to its type. The type can be Natural number, Whole number, Rational number, Algebraic number, Irrational number, Transcendental number, Complex number, p-adic number etc ...
...If 1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+… = 1, as Traditional Math claims, then the most right (Red or Blue) segment
must be reduced into a single 0-dimensional space.
EDIT:
The Man, since your definition of Cardinality refers to the amount of objects, without the understanding of how multiplicity (the "s" at the end of a word like "objects") is possible in the first place, you simply have nothing to say about Cardinality, or what enables this concept.
The traditional definition about "the size of a set" is misleading because it ignores the fundamental fact of the existence of the concept of Set beyond the number of its members, exactly as we see right in the case of the Empty set, which is an existing thing that has no members.
As long as this misleading notion stands at the basis of Set Theory, this theory is invalid.
Again you demonstrate your limited reasoning, which gets things only in terms of points, and the number of names that are related to them.
This narrow reasoning has no chance to be developed into the level that enables to distinguish between the complex and the non-complex, where in the case of "1-dimensional space", the "1" defines the the smallest existing thing that has cardinality ∞ , which is the cardinality of Non-locality, such that anything that has this cardinality can be simultaneously at AND beyond any limited domain.
It is already done, but since you are unable to grasp Emptiness, Fullness Locality, Non-locality etc…, you simply unable to distinguish between the non-complex ( for example: ∞( 2(),0() ) and the complex ( for example: ∞( 2(0(x,y)) ) ) no matter how many times it is explained to you.
Yet, it is an existing thing, even it does not have any members (which is a fact that you do not understand its influence on Set Theory and the Mathmatical Science).
If one claims that the sum of converges lengths has the exact value of a given limit, then one actually claims that a given line segment is reducible into a point.
Moreover, if one claims that 1-dimensioanel space is completely covered by a collection of 0-dimensional spaces, then one actually claims that 1-dimensional space is actually a collection 0-dimensional spaces. But by using this claim (which is definitely your claim, The Man) a line segment is reducible into a single 0-dimensional space, because 1-dimensional space actually does not exist.
In other words, The Man, you claim things al along this thread, without the results that are derived from them.
Not at all.
I explicitly say that the cardinality of the non-local is greater than the cardinality of any given collection.
Let me correct it for you. If Cardinality is the number of distinct objects of a given set, then the cardinality of a non-empty set is defined by the linkage among Non-locality and Locality.
The Man, please answer only by yes or no to the following question:
The Man, do you claim that the empty set and emptiness is the same?
You are using a concept like collection, without understanding its existence.The Man said:And you are explicitly wrong since cardinality is specifically related to the size of a collection.
No, I am claiming that the traditional notion of Cardinality as the number of objects of a given set, can't distinguish between the weakest existing thing (a point), which has cardinality 1, and the minimal form of the strongest existing thing (a line), which its existence is stronger than any collection of objects along it, and its cardinality is ∞.Are you claiming that your “linkage among Non-locality and Locality” fails for the empty set?
In that case you have no problem to distinguish between the definition of The Empty set, which is based on the fact that an existing thing has no sub-existing things, and the fact that The Empty set is an existing thing, and therefore its existence is beyond Emptiness.doronshadmi said:The Man, please answer only by yes or no to the following question:
The Man, do you claim that the empty set and emptiness is the same?
No.
The Man, do you really don't get that if the previous sum already have reached the limit, then there is no such a thing like "the current segment" (where a segment is defined as an object that its length > 0)?The Man said:Nope, we have been over this before Doron, in order for the current segment being summed to be zero length (a point) the previous sum must already have reached the limit
I am claiming that the traditional notion of Cardinality as the number of objects of a given set, can't distinguish between...
No, I am claiming that the traditional notion of Cardinality as the number of objects of a given set, can't distinguish between the weakest existing thing (a point), which has cardinality 1, and the minimal form of the strongest existing thing (a line), which its existence is stronger than any collection of objects along it, and its cardinality is ∞.
Moreover the traditional notion of Cardinality can't deal directly with Emptiness as the level of existence that has Cardinality 0, and it does it indirectly by using an existing thing like The Empty set in order to define cardinality 0.
This is a fundamental conceptual mistake that Organic Mathematics fixes, and this correction is important for further development of the mathematical science.
Only the linkage between that has cardinality ∞ and that has cardinality 1 enables to define cardinalities which are > 1 AND < ∞, where that has cardinality 1 is local w.r.t that has cardinality ∞ (where Locality is the property of being at most simultaneously at one and only one location w.r.t to that has cardinality ∞), and that has cardinality ∞ is non-local w.r.t that has cardinality 1 (where Non-locality is the property of being at least simultaneously at and beyond the location w.r.t to that has cardinality 1).
In that case you have no problem to distinguish between the definition of The Empty set, which is based on the fact that an existing thing has no sub-existing things, and the fact that The Empty set is an existing thing, and therefore its existence is beyond Emptiness.
jsfisher, Traditional Math uses Cardinality as the size of a given collection, without understanding its existence.I see you continue to struggle to disprove a definition.
I have noticed that cardinality doesn't distinguish between blue and green. Does that add to you disproof of the definition? (Oh! Dear! OM doesn't either! We are all doomed!!!!)
You persist on this fool's errand, Doron. Give it up. You want something different? Great! Define something different. Knock yourself out. But please stop all this verbal idiocy you spew just because you don't understand basic Mathematics.
The Man, do you really don't get that if the previous sum already have reached the limit, then there is no such a thing like "the current segment" (where a segment is defined as an object that its length > 0)?
"the current segment being summed to be zero length" is an utter nonsense.
You are using a concept like collection, without the understanding of its existence.The Man said:And you are explicitly wrong since cardinality is specifically related to the size of a collection.
The Man said:Once again you are simply wrong. A set containing a point has a cardinality of one
The Empty set, which is an existing thing (even if this existence is interpreted by you as an abstraction) has an existence that is greater than Emptiness (even if Emptiness is interpreted by you as an abstraction).The Man said:Doron the empty set and emptiness are both abstract concepts and only ‘exist’ as such.
The utter nonsense is yours, because you are unable to get http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6575426&postcount=12371 , which clearly demonstrates this utter nonsense of yours about the sum of convergent lengths, which is = to a given limit.Well look who finally caught up. So are you done with your ridiculous claim that “a given line segment is reducible into a point.”?
It’s your utter nonsense Doron, but you may just be catching on to that fact now.

That's not the main argument, coz that series approaches it's limit (and according to some even reaches it!) different way than 0.999..., the number that has been expelled from R. You need to look again atEDIT:
Let me be clearer about my argument against 1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+… = 1
From a structural view 0.25 has more than a one location along 0_______1
And what are those locations, exactly?
You don't seem to have answered this, Doron:
From a structural point of view 1/4 (the vertical red line) or 0.01[base 2] have one location along 0________1, where 0.25[base 10] has two locations along 0________1, as follows:And what are those locations, exactly?

![]()
I clearly show at least two locations for 0.25[base 10] along 0______1What, you mean one 'location' for 0.2 and one for 0.25? You're kidding, right?
It enables to deal with the structural properties of numbers, in addition to their quantitative properties.In what way is that meaningful or useful?
According to the structural properties of numbers, 1/8 has at least 1 location along 0_____1 and 0.125[base 10] has at least 3 locations along 0_____1So there would be 3 locations for 1/8 (0.125)?
No, "decimal" is related only to [base 10], where the locations along different scale levels of a given number, can be found in any base value > 1.A 'location' is just a decimal place, then?
It depends on how you define the structural aspect of the number.And why is there not one at 0.0 for 0.01[base 2]?
Go on, then, define it.It depends on how you define the structural aspect of the number.
According to the drawing, you seem to be moving at a constant speed v away from the point of recovery R. . .From a structural point of view 1/4 (the vertical red line) or 0.01[base 2] have one location along 0________1, where 0.25[base 10] has two locations along 0________1, as follows:

didn't mention the base 2 nonsensical excuse that you came up with this time.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.
With or without the initial point.Go on, then, define it.
Wrong theorem, because 0______1 is independent of any base value, as clearly shown by the following diagram:n the base 2 nonsensical excuse that you came up with this time.
Theorem: 1 + 1 = 3.
Proof: If we add 1 to 1, we obtain 11, and 11(binary) = 3(decimal).
Student: “I have a proof against the assertion that 1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+… = 1, as follows:”
“First, we express 1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+… etc ... by the following diagram:”

________________________________________________________________ 1/4 +
________________________________________________________________ 1/8 +
________________________________________________________________ 1/16 +
________________________________________________________________ 1/32 +
________________________________________________________________ 1/64 + ...
“If 1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+… = 1, as you assert, then the most right (Red or Blue) segment must be reduced into a single 0-dimensional space.”
“But according to the diagram above, this reduction is impossible, because 1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+… converge as pairs of segments, which have equal lengths , where the values of 1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+… are determined by the most right point of the left segment of any arbitrary convergent pair of Blue\Red Red\blue equal segments, upon infinitely many scale levels”.
“In that case any arbitrary right segment of a given pair of equal segments upon infinitely many scale levels, is exactly the gap between any arbitrary number of 1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+… and the number of the limit.”
Teacher: “Nope, we have been over this before, in order for the current segment being summed to be zero length (a point) the previous sum must already have reached the limit.”
Student: “I agree with you exactly because 1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+… are the most right points of the left segment of any arbitrary convergent pair of Blue\Red Red\blue equal segments, upon infinitely many scale levels”.
“Again, In that case any arbitrary right segment of a given pair of equal segments upon infinitely many scale levels, is exactly the gap between
any arbitrary number of 1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+… and the number of the limit.”
Teacher: “Referring back to your diagram re-demonstrate your lack of understanding of Mathematics doesn't support your claim. The only thing clearly demonstrated in that diagram is your obstinate insistence on misrepresentation.”
Student: “Is this kind of reply is considered by you as a reasonable answer to my proof against
the assertion that 1/2+1/4+1/8+1/16+1/32+1/64+… = 1?”
