Gentlemen (and Ladies, if some be present here), I offer you a small bit of wisdom and irony, presented in a bit of humor.
Statement of vernacular AND mathematical truth: "The universe is an ODD PLACE." (!) [i.e., it is imbalanced and -not- fundamentally symmetric] PROOF: -infinity <--- [zero] ---> +infinity The symmetric infinities balance and cancel each other out, leaving an entity~identity having no complement; an 'odd' remainder. So, when all is said and done, the universe is essentially an 'odd place'. :-))) Jamie Rose ps. then again, you might want to do what I am doing: looking to build a more complete mathematics in which some states of [one] and [zero] are equal to each other. ! :-) jr Marchal Bruno wrote: > > >> > From: "Russell Standish" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > >> > > >> > > There is no problem is saying that all computations exist in > >> > > "platonia" (or the plenitude).
