Sorry for erring into such un-serious and un-scientific corners.


It was fun, no problem. It would still be interesting to see if your  
12/17 ary system makes your numbers verify my axioms:


x + 0 = x
x + (y + 1) = (x + y) + 1

 x *0 = 0
 x*(y + 1) = x*y + x

If that is the case, we can use your numbers, and it will change  
noting in the TOE, we will get the same consciousness and the same  
physics.

Hi Bruno Marchal


1) We in fact agree about what 1p is, except IMHO it is the
Supreme Monad viewing the world THROUGH an individual's
1p that I would call the inner God. Or any God.

2) Previously I dismissed numbers as being monads because I
thought that all monads had to refer to physical substances.

But natural numbers are different because
even though they are only mental substances, they're still
substances, by virtue of the fact that they can't be subdivided.
So they are of one part each.

Thus the natural numbers are monads, even though they have no
physical correlates. Sorry I've be so slow to see that.

That reallyiopens doors Then numbers can see each other with 1p.

Your responses seem to leave out such relations.  I cannot find
