Any number is both some unique element of the collection of minimal
structures, and a scale factor (which is determined by |{}| or
[i:f306e071da][b:f306e071da]s[/b:f306e071da][/i:f306e071da]) of the
entire collection.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I started my private research about 25 years ago, by asking myself,
what are the minimal conditions that give us our abilities to count.

You can find this research in:

[url]http://www.geocities.com/complementarytheory/ONN2.pdf[/url]

[url]http://www.geocities.com/complementarytheory/ONN3.pdf[/url]

An overview of my basic perceptions of the Language of Mathematics and
its reasoning, can be found in:

As for your question about the usefulness of my system:

>
> I was just curious Doron: What are the problems with the number
system that exists today that would make you want to change it? Like
they say, "if it aint broke, don't fix it."
>
Today's number system is a quantity-only system, which ignores the
internal complexity of the natural numbers (and I do not mean to the
differences between primes, non-primes, odds , evens, partitions,
permutations, etc..., which are all based on
0_redunduncy_AND_0_uncertainty building-blocks), which are the
building-blocks of the entire standard system.

In short, my number system is based on the information concept, where
each building-block in it has an internal structure that cannot fully
described only by quantitative-only and
0_redunduncy_AND_0_uncertainty approach of the standard system.

The main concept of my new number system is based on the complementary
relations that exist between symmetry level and information's
clarity-level, and these relations are based on what I call
complementary-logic, which is based on included-middle reasoning, and
both excluded-middle reasoning and fuzzy logic are limited proper
sub-systems of it.

By my system we get these benefits:

[b:f306e071da]1)[/b:f306e071da] Each building-block has a unique
internal complexity, that can be the basis for infinitely many unique
building-blocks, which can be found upon infinitely many different
scales.

[b:f306e071da]2)[/b:f306e071da] There are infinitely many unique
internal structures that can be found in some particular scale
level.

[b:f306e071da]3)[/b:f306e071da] There can be infinitely many complex
structures, that are based on [b:f306e071da](1)[/b:f306e071da] and
[b:f306e071da](2)[/b:f306e071da] building- blocks.

[b:f306e071da]4)[/b:f306e071da] These complex structures are much more
accurate models then any model which is based on the quantitative-only
standard number system, and some of the reasons are:

[b:f306e071da]a)[/b:f306e071da] The structure that is based on the
complementary relations between symmetry and information concepts
(where redundncy_AND_uncertainty are useful properties of them) is
inherent property of my new system, and gives it the ability to
understand the deepest principles of any dynamic/structural abstract
or non-abstract complex object, without first reducing it to
quantitative model (which is inevitable when we use the standard
quantitative-only number system).

[b:f306e071da]b)[/b:f306e071da] The new natural numbers (which are now
taken as topological information's building-blocks) are ordered as
Mendeliev-like table, which gives us the ability to define their deep
topological connections, even before we use them in some particular
model.

These deep topological connections can be used as gateways between
so-called different models, and expending our understanding about
these explored models.

[b:f306e071da]c)[/b:f306e071da] My number system is the first number
system, which is based on our cognition’s ability to count, as an
inherent property of the abstract concept of a number.

By this research I have found and described how the number concept is
based on the interactions between our memory and some abstract or
non-abstract elements.

Through this approach our own cognition is included in the development
of the Language of Mathematics, and we are no longer observers, but
full participators where our own congenital abilities are legitimate
parts of the mathematical research itself.

[u:f306e071da]For example:[/u:f306e071da]

What is called a function is first of all a reflection of our memory
on the explored elements.

A function is the property that gives us the ability to compare things
and get conclusions that are based on this comparison.

If something is compared by us to itself, we get the self identity of
an element to itself by tautology (x=x).

If more then one element is compared, then we get several information
clarity degrees that describe several possible interactions between
our memory and the explored objects, and these several possible
interactions can be ordered by their internal symmetrical degrees.

In this case multiplication and addition operations are complementary
operations, where multiplication can be operated only between
identical elements (redundancy_AND_uncertainty > 0) and addition
is operated between non-identical elements
(redundancy_AND_uncertainty = 0).

Because any function (which is not based on self reference of an
element to itself) is a connection between at least two elements, its
minimal abstract model cannot be less then a pointless line-segment,
which is used as a connector between the examined elements.

In this case no interval (memory) can be described in terms of points
(objects) and vise versa, and we get these four independent
building-blocks of the language of Mathematics (which now includes
the mathematician’s cognition-abilities as a legitimate part of it):

{}, {.}, {._.}, {__}

By this new approach we can build, for example, a totally new
Turing-like machine, that can change forever our abilities to deal
with complexity which is based in simplicity.

Let us examine some different interpretations between my approach and
the conventional approach:

sub-intervals, then [3,4]=[2,5].

> Why is [3,4]<[2,5] for integers? I'm not asking to compare the
lengths, but rather the intervals themselves. If I highlight from 3
to 4 on the number line in blue and from 2 to 5 in red, which
highlight is greater than the other? Normally you could say that one
number is greater if it's further down the positive side, but both
are further down the positive side than the other in some ways.

[b:f306e071da]Doron:[/b:f306e071da]

The main idea behind the integers (unless we choose to change it) is
to look on the number line as if it has a one and only one scale
factor, which its value is 1 and only 1.

In this case any arbitrary interval cannot be but 1 (or -1 if we take
zero's left side).

For example:

..___-2___-1___0___1___2___[color=Blue:f306e071da]3___4[/color:f306e071da]___5___6___...

..___-2___-1___0___1___[color=Red:f306e071da]2___3___4___5[/color:f306e071da]___6___...

[color=Blue:f306e071da]3___4[/color:f306e071da] <
[color=Red:f306e071da]2___3___4___5[/color:f306e071da] -->
[3,4]<[2,5] by the new approach.

By this approach no proper subset of N can be put in 1-1
correspondence with the entire N, for example N and its odds:

..___1___2___3___4___5___6___7___8___9___... (Entire N)
      | | | | |
..___1_______3_______5_______7_______9___... ( Entire Odds)

In the standard way the interval {.__.} is omitted and we get:
[code:1:f306e071da]
.. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ... (Entire N)
    | | | | | | | | |
.. 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 ... ( Entire Odds)
[/code:1:f306e071da]
As we can clearly see, standard math does not find 1-1 map between
numbers, but between their represented notations, and we can clearly
see that the standard point of view does not distinguish between a
number and its represented notation.

Also:

2 <-> 3
5 <-> 4

and in this case (where {._.} is omitted) [3,4] = [2,5] by standard
math.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

When [3,4] and [2,5] are taken as R members then the inifinitely many
elements that exist between 3 to 5 and 2 to 5 in infinitely many
different scales, can be put in 1-1 and onto, and in this case
[3,4]=[2,5] because of the duality of each R member, which is clearly
explained here:
[url]http://www.geocities.com/complementarytheory/No-Naive-Math.pdf[/url]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Infinitely many elements in infinitely many scales have bigger
cardinality then infinitely many elements that can be found in a one
and only one particular scale (scale 0 is excluded in both cases).

Therefore |N|<|Q|<|R| where each number is at least
{.}_AND_{._.} (as can be seen in
[url]http://www.geocities.com/complementarytheory/No-Naive-Math.pdf[/url]).
