A few days ago, I had the chance to speak to a proper mathematician about some theories I've been developing.
As a result of this, I have decided to publish 3 whitepapers I wrote back in 2021.
The TL;DR of them is:
1. Mixed Bases: 10/3 = 3.3333 in decimal notation, but if we change the base to, say, duodecimal, base 12, we get an exact answer: 3.4
2. Divide by Zero is not infinity: Zero is nothing, so if we divide any number by nothing, we get the original number, not infinity, which is derived approaching, but not reaching zero. In other words, we should treat zero as a special case. So 10/0 = 10
3. Base Hygiene: As we start to use mixed bases more and more, we should clarify the base using better notation.
The Whitepapers are published on my website here:
