Re: Zero ain't nothing!

Your initial notion (N) may have some merit.
But then with your "(P) or not to (P)" you (P)issed
onto yourself...all the way into your "infinity".
Thanks for the laughs, Tom.
ahahaha... ahahahanson

Zero is a bad concept,
and creates several problems in logic, math and physics.

1. It implies that "nothing" exists.

There cannot be a zero amount of "something" as this would be "nothing",
and there cannot be a non-zero amount of "nothing", as this would be
"something".

"Nothing" cannot be "something".
In other words, (zero * something) does not equal (N * nothing).

2. The erroneous concept of infinity is implied from zero.
(1 / zero) does not equal (infinity)

There is no physical evidence for infinity.

3. Zero is also responsible for the faulty concept of the "excluded
middle".
The "excluded middle" is expressed symbolically as:
not( P and not(P))

This implies that a thing ( P) and its' opposite ( not(P)) cannot exist in
the same time-space.

Not only does P and not(P) exist in the same time-space object,
it is, in fact, the essence of physics.

Not(P) is commonly taken to be "nothing" or the set of all things other
than P, rather than the opposite of P as it must be in order to properly
integrate logic and reality. The assumption that not(P) = zero is what
leads to the erroneous concept of the "excluded middle".

Physical reality indicates that not(P) must be defined as the opposite of
P, and that "nothing" be treated as a point of perception about which
orthogonal dichotomies arise, and that the sets of "things" other than P
must be treated as "things" which exist apart from P and do not sum
algebraically with, nor exist orthogonally to P.

The most fundamental property is the cycle (P),
and its' opposite is a counterclockwise P or not(P).

A distorted cycle does not exist as a fundamental unit ( thing),
as such a situation would give rise to other more fundamental cycles,
rather than define a fundamental thing (i.e. Fourier series).

The "excluded middle" exists in Nature
and is light or energy, or more correctly,
a time squared property that I call activity.
