Re: .99999999999999 = 1 and formally real fields
If .99999999999999 equals 1, then squares of .99999999999999 should equal 1.
Test --
.99999999999999^1 = .99999999999999
.99999999999999^2 = .9999999999999800000000000001
.99999999999999^4 =
.99999999999996000000000000059999999999999600000000000001
Test complete --
.99999999999999 does not equal 1.
If .99999999999999 equals 1, then 1 - .99999999999999 should equal 0.
Test --
1 - .99999999999999 = .00000000000001
.99999999999999 does not equal 1.
