Although nothing would amuse me more than the picture of you being preyed upon by legal counsellors, I'd advice you to think it twice. In a previous post you bitterly complained about not being offered a job, as some kind of reward for your brilliant thinking. Set your priorities right, is all I can say. I don't wish you any wrong, in spite of your misled smugness and total disregard of the efforts of many users trying to help you to the best of their --our-- abilities. The bullying that you mention is about a post by @iNow on another thread that didn't even mention you. I almost forgot: numbers are not geometrically motivated. They come first. You can study their properties with topology --a basis of neighbourhoods-- or with geometry --distance, metric--. If you have n-tuples of numbers, then you can introduce angles, also from the metric.

Is that a question, or word origami? Yes its a question, "any base system" works, as any base system can be created out of thin air...The better one or more efficient is the winner.. So why doesn't anyone tell me this? I'm not concerned about binary numbers, computers and etc...This did not exist long ago when science was being formulated...I feel sorry for today's students that need to deal with this "simple" issue. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I and others have been telling you until we're blue in the mouth. You're using the oldest trick of the game, which is non-sequitur. It's as if someone tells you, "Mountains arise from mechanical tensions and thermal processes in the Earth's interior" and you say, "Then why are elephants winged creatures?" 1st) Elephants are not winged creatures (a false premise embedded in a question is called a sophism) 2nd) The question does not follow from the previous statement at all (that's called a non-sequitur) If you think for a moment most users here don't see right away what you're trying to do, you're quite wrong. You're not discussing in good faith. It's not about disagreement. It's about you not being intellectually honest. You're free to keep playing your game for as long as you want, but you're just calling for action from the mods and very justified annoyance from other users. Have a good day.

Your talking about "manifolds" hyper cubes and the fourth dimension? Now that I understand that a base numeral system is another word for a positive integer, I will research this, however eluded it might be from i as -1 of which we all know is pi ratio based.... The bullying comment was on my thread, so its directed to me however we want to do the algebrea on it....It should not by no means ellude peacfull and civil conversation between adults as it's very childish, especially on something science based...Knowledge varies from person to person for any reason at all, it's what makes life intresting And i can careless who likes me or not at the end of the day it's just me myself and I. 3 minutes ago, joigus said: Because you couldn't be farther off the mark.

Then comes topology (neighbourhoods in a set defined by the relation \( \subseteq \) "contained in") Then comes geometry (defined by distance, a number assigned to pairs of "points": \( d\left(x,y\right) \)) From metric (distance) come angles, defined as ratios of distances, as @Sensei has told you. Topologies are possible to define even when there is no notion of a metric. Numbers don't have geometry built in them. You need numbers first. How else could you define the distance, which is a positive number? Topology is more primitive. You only need a notion of inclusion, open and closed sets, etc. Closed set: contains its boundary Open set: does not contain its boundary Edit: Dimension you can define with vectors (tangent space) or with analysis (number of real variables necessary to describe your set analitically). And so on... What a wasted effort! Edited December 13, 2020 by joigus 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not me, it's the premis of the science model... Anyone can create a cooridinent system like anyone can creat a "base & numeral system." I keep asking is base 10 Counting by 10s?? Or is base 2 County by 2s?? Simple as 1 2 3, and I get answer that sound like ""alien technology."" Earth please???
