Well if you can not understand the simple numbersystem i am offering i
have no trouble understanding your problem with mathproblems.
As anyone know a 0.888... equals 1 using standard number systems, i am
offering a way to get away from offering a different numbersystems
where digits do terminate for 1/3 , 1/7 etc.
And i have a feeling it will be a cleansing for math as whole, but the
drawback it is not actually intuitive after thousands of years using a
numberline and 0 as a mathematical numerical value. On the other side
it will lead to a leap in computational theory, and lead to solution
to problems earlier unsolvable. It will even change the computational
complexity for some problems. It is completly compatible with current
numbersystems for anybase, but use another notation for numbers in
bases, and most important zero is not included.
