where is the discontinuity in the equality function?
The notation is getting in the way of my caring:
I don't care to argue over notation, as the universe is not notation,
or a program called Wolfram that finds
inequality in Φ*Φ=Φ+1.
YOU, yourself, as an autonomous human being, should have intuited
Φ*Φ=Φ+1 is obviously true, as was pointed out to you.
It doesn't matter the notation, syntax or systems to which it applies: it is
notation
the use of which only extends to the same degree to which one themselves relies on it.

All of those definitions are circular. They are using undefined words to define 'define'.
Do you have a word that doesn't require a definition? That would be a good place to start...
I have one of those. The word "I". Seeming as we are both using it...
"I" is both self-referencing and self-contained, as in a torus field
and thus is defined locally by the
choices made, conscious or not.
It's like suffering: it begins locally, ends locally.
People who suffer, invariably suffer themselves.
The problem is when the suffering of "I" is perceived to be due to "other":
think Adam blaming Eve for his own eating of the tree. Think Cain
comparing himself to Abel, growing enmity, and desire to spill blood.
Does it take a "believer" to "believe" their own ignorance-induced suffering is someone else's fault? Yes/no question.

Ohhh. We are talking about utility, not truth? That's a different story.
What do you USE words for?
Truth and utility need
not be severed from one another.
I use words to transact - they serve as a means of exchange.

Interesting. How do you measure 1 "unit of space"? Show me your yardstick.
If I do that you'll become exceedingly envious -
why do you want to see my yardstick anyways?
Do you want to measure it yourself?
Skepdick wrote: ↑Mon Feb 24, 2020 7:09 am
What are functions anyway?
"Function" is just a word.
The word function implies a relation between the concerned object/subject(s).
In the case of space / time they "function" as
merely aspects of motion,
are measured in discrete units (as speed and/or velocity) thus v = s/t.
If/when setting the speed of light c to 1
v = 1/1 describes
light. This is also
unity
as all physical phenomena are particular
displacements therefrom such that v ≠ 1/1.

I am using a logic that can return either true or false. Which one do you want?
In the system you call 'arithmetic' it's true.
But why did you choose that particular system? Why not another system?
I am calling it 'false' because it's incomplete. There is another number (while I am running out of greek letters, I'll call it Skep)
Skep is ( 1 - √5)/2
Why did you choose Φ? Why didn't you choose Skep?
Before Skep was Φ, thus Skep relies on Φ for its own existence.
What line is to Φ, curve is to π. Modern-day humanity does not understand the relation
but these two are all that is needed to model the observable universe, because all
is expressed as discrete units of motion. s/t = speed wherein t/s = energy.

By what criteria might one change their criterion?
It's your own choice, mine is whatever agrees with the physical universe.
That entails knowing what to and not to believe regarding mainstream "science".

The SI units of time are no longer based on the Earth's rotation around the sun? That is its historic definition. Do you not know this?
I don't know what "SI" units are. The earth's rotation around the sun is motion, not time. Time is a human construct.
However, if you understand that this motion produces a recurring cycle, you might understand time is cyclic (ie. circular)
on any scale: daily, yearly, great yearly, great-great-yearly etc. and on each "now" moment, all are aligned in the local "I"
to each their own, according to their own orientation/impetus, according to their own pace, according to their own conscious.

That's useless! I already asked you what your speed/velocity was and you still haven't answered me!
So are you deriving time from velocity or velocity from time. Make up your mind.
velocity requires both s/t, the reciprocal being energy.
What exists as velocity in the s³/t domain has a proportional energy representation in the t³/s domain.
Skepdick wrote: ↑Mon Feb 24, 2020 7:09 am
OK. Do you know when s = 1? Because you still haven't told me what your velocity is.
Relative to your prior position in space time, as observed by you.
Define 'now'.

Time is not cyclic - it's a vector. Entropy is always increasing.
If time was circular you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between 'past' and 'future'
A vector is a mathematical construct (psst, so is time) used to model.
Most people can not tell the difference between past and future.

3rd time also: If you are in motion (and you are) then what is your velocity?!?
Relative to myself: unchanged. You can't change your own velocity in time, only orientation.
You "go" either way. The question is which direction.
This "cycle" of humanity is still far too ignorant to see it.

It is pertinently obvious to me that you don't understand the distinction between context dependence and context independence.
Have a look
GR and QFT have domains of applicability! QFT is the theory of small scale phenomena. GR is the theory of large scale phenomena.
For as long as you keep pretending that you have to ignore QFT because you can't reconcile it with GR you will forever remain ignorant of the notion of
scale invariance.
You sound like a religious fanatic defending a Bible.
You don't need Relativity or QM to model the universe: only to distort them.
They can't be reconciled because they are false.
The barrier is hubris - the grant seekers will never admit their mistakes, because their livelihoods rely on them.

Your wish is my command.
1 = 1 is not True.
1 ≠ 1 is True.
The LHS has different coordinates in spacetime to the RHS.
It's not possible (in this universe) for the LHS to have anything
but the multiplicative reciprocal of RHS if/when c = 1.
s²/t² x t²/s² = 1
You can do whatever else you wish: it's not relevant.

So I am going to paraphrase you slightly....
Knowing the degrees to which any
LANGUAGE (
not symbol - symbols don't mean anything) is limited marks the point whereupon one does
not jump on some bandwagon thus such discernment is the active negation of it.
Linguistics. You need it. If you don't grok it, you are on a bandwagon. The algebra or C*-algebra bandwagon, but you are on a bandwagon.
To get off the bandwagon you need to learn to discern grammar, syntax and semantics.

"symbols don't mean anything"
is telling - of course they do. That is why they exist: to impart a meaning, if not as imbued by the designer, as taken by the receiver.
Symbols are a kind of language: they impart meaning. To sever symbols from language entirely is rather egregiously bigoted.
To say they don't have meaning is the same as saying the one who designed the symbol did not have any "meaningful" motivation/will/intent such to give rise to that symbol.
