Re: 0 is not a number
Real numbers: numbers that can be represented with infinite (decimal) expansion: Regular expression: [+-]?[0-9]+([.][0-9]*)? These definitions reflect the formalist ontology in which mathematical objects are symbol strings. I noticed this. I wonder if I can ask for clarification. Surely even formal...

Re: 0 is not a number
5 * 0 = 0. Multiplying any number by zero results in zero. So, zero is said to "absorb" the multiplication. This is a characteristic of the neutral element for the addition. Right. And a roll of paper towels absorbs spills. So I'm asking you if you are saying that 0 is like a roll of pape...

Re: 0 is not a number
Take for example the natural numbers and its canonical axiomatization: So you refuse to engage with what I said? You said 0 is the absorbing element. I asked you if that means 0 is like a roll of paper towels. And you refuse to engage. Do paper towels absorb or not? And if they do, how do they diff...

Re: A mathematical perspective on the phenomenon of "miracles"
See, I could start off providing something like this, which by the way I could and would back up and support, fully. But, this may not be what you were really wanting nor seeking here, at all, nor even partially. So, until you are very clear, and specific, with and about what 'it' is, exactly, that...

Re: A mathematical perspective on the phenomenon of "miracles"
But these two can be explained. Although one may be far simpler and easier than the other is to explain, and be understood. Ok, please explain them to me. The existence of everything, for example, is about one of the most simplest and easiest things to fully understand, and explain, whereas conscio...

Re: A mathematical perspective on the phenomenon of "miracles"
Are there perceived to be any actual 'extraordinary, or ordinary, events that are not explicable by natural or scientific laws', by anyone here? If yes, then will you list them here? Consciousness. The existence of everything. To name but two. Also, what is 'it', or are 'they', exactly, that has be...

Re: Zero divided by Zero =
0 ÷ 0 = ∞ ÷ ∞ This equation is mathematically correct, provided 0 is understood as Robinson's h , and not as the natural number. The completed equation should, of course, read 0 ÷ 0 = ∞ ÷ ∞ = ∞. What is "Robinson's h?" Pretend I have a detailed understanding of Robinson's hyperreal number...
