Fascinating. Consider this:
1 wad of chewing gum + 1 wad of chewing gum = 1 (larger) wad of
chewing gum. Does this prove that chewing gum is not dogs? Or
bananananas?

Put the dog in front of a mirror and quietly sneak up behind the
animal and try to suprise it.
If the dog responds accordingly, then it is self-aware and has
the Buddha-nature. If it does not, then it is probably not
self-aware and probably does not have it.

But if later on it sneaks up behind you and pisses all over you,
then you can reasonably assume that it not only has Buddha nature,
but also a sense of humour, which is far more valuable. :|

In _Infinity and the Mind_, we find the following anecdote (drawn from
_Zen Koans_, by Gyomai Kubose):
| Shuzan held out his short staff and said, "If you call this a short
staff,
| you oppose its reality. If you do not call it a short staff, you
ignore the
| fact. Now what do you wish to call this?"
Rucker also quotes Suzuki's reply, "One of the disciples came out of
the ranks, took the stick away from the master, and breaking it in
two, exclaimed, 'What is this?'" Looks like these Zen Masters were way
ahead of us...

Yes! Dogs are related to bannanas in that both can be counted and both can
be represented by numbers. It also implies that there are at least two of
each unless you are talking about the 'idea' of dogs and the 'idea' of
bananas.

Of course I wasn't saying, "YES!" to the logically conclusion that dogs are

But the idea of using numbers to represent nature is a powerful notion that
we take for granted. That was more my point.

Can't help it ...
Must point out logical fallacy ...
Whilst the notation is the same; the usual additive notation of a binary
operator acting over a set; there isn't an equivalence relation between
items of the two independant sets (that is the set of bananas and the
set of dogs). Each banana/dog can be said to an element of the set; the
considering the two sets we have:
{d}; {b}.
Where b represents banana and d represents dog.
With the abstract notion of the set of integers removed and replaced
with the real notion of elements in a set and the notation altered to be
muplicative rather than additive the fallacy becomes obvious.
Two bananas are b * b = bb
Two dogs are d * d = dd
Clearly different.
The fallacy is that the element of a banana is non-identical to the
element of a dog; and whilst in certain conditions it is valid to
represent them in the purely abstract when they are mixed we must
differentiate.
The proper algebra for adding dogs and bananas might be:
d + b + b + d = 2d + 2b
(assuming dogs and bananas are transitive under addition; since we're
counting [moving along the integer line] they are).

You're an idiot, Septic. The fact that you keep
insisting your comment is somehow "a meaningful
proposition", even after it's been pointed out
to you that it's not a proposition at all, is a
testament to your invincible ignorance.
:Proposition:
:(Gram. & Logic) A complete sentence, or part of a sentence
:consisting of a subject and predicate united by a copula;
:a thought expressed or propounded in language; a from of
:speech in which a predicate is affirmed or denied of a
:subject; as, snow is white.

(I'm sure you're still too stupid to get it, even

it is _only_ part of one. Just like in the above
statement "snow is white", the word "snow", all by
itself, is not a proposition. For goodness sakes,
man, leave the crack alone & crack open a book on
logic. How pathetic you keep arguing this point.)

It's not your fault you can't see the implied ontological connections
