But once I discovered infinity had to have a borderline, I ditched the p-adics altogether, and saw the p-adics as a waste of time. And with a infinity borderline, the p-adics are a waste of time.

I remember the days in which in 1990s we had Deja News and you could easily look up a post you had years earlier. Then along came Google buying out Deja News and searches for older posts became more difficult. I have trouble locating posts of 2009 for this history of subfractions and second decimal point.
Luckily I found this in my own archive.

introducing SubFractions into math with infinity borderlines #2066 Correcting Math
Now the students would win this argument and show the professor of math his/her failings in a proof
argument. However, the professor has a nice comeback, weak comeback that the students must be prepared to challenge.

Only with a border between finite and infinite can you ever tell if a number is finite or infinite. We establish that border to be 1*10^603 for large infinity and the inverse for small infinity and establish it because the area of Tractrix equals the associated circle area at that number.

Alright, the math professor does have a nice rebuttal by saying, if you have it that way then
how do you ever get
1/3 + 2/3 = 1 for you would have 0.3333..33000.... + 0.6666..660000.... = 0.9999..990000
which is shy of 1 by 1*10^-603
Here the students must challenge the professor yet again by saying
1 divided by 3 as in 1/3 fraction representation is 3 into 10 is 3 with remainder 1 and another 3 into 10 with remainder 1.
So, what is 1/3 fraction representated when Infinity borderline is 1*10^603 and its inverse?
1/3 is then equal to 0.33333..33(1/3)0000.... where you have a sub-fraction inside a decimal. It has no place value in the decimal representation but is a carry over of the 1 in division. The 0 digit rightwards starts at the 604th place value. So to accurately represent 1/3 as a decimal when it hits the infinity borderline, we cannot dispose of the remainder and so a SUBFRACTION occurs.
And 2/3 is then equal to 0.66666..66(2/3)0000.... and when we add the 1/3, and 2/3 the subfractions make up for that 1*10^-603.
I think I introduced subfractions in the last 5 years and this is not the first time I introduced them. I probably called them something different, 5 years ago. The need for them is that fraction and decimal representations alone are not adequate for a mathematics that has a borderline between finite and infinite. When I did Calculus in grid systems, the grids took care of these subfractions.
---- end of old post of 2014 ----
Now in that old post I said that approx 5 years earlier I had discovered or invented this tack on of a decimal with a fraction increment. That would have been 2009 of that invention of the subfraction. And today here in 2017, I need that tack-on ever so much more.
For you see, if math has division of this
__________
9 | 10,000
= 1111 and we must never forget the remainder as +1/9
Then a HUGE, HUGE Error occurred in math history when they thought that
1/9 was .11111111............
You see, they were smart enough to realize that 9 into 10,000 was not 1111 but was 1111+1/9
But, far far too dumb, too stupid to realize that 1/9 is .11111(1/9) and instead thought it to be .11111.....
Likewise the ignorance extended to 1/3 was .3333.... when it really was .3333(1/3) and that .9999..... is not equal to 1, but is a sliver shy of being 1. The number 3 times .3333(1/3) is .9999(3/3) is .9999(1) is equal to 1.
So, it is tricky, it was dicey, for mathematicians, when the decimal representation was introduced into Western Civilization by Fibonacci in 1202 with Liber Abaci (Book of Calculation), whether mathematicians were going to be brilliant in recognizing you needed two decimal points or whether they were going to be failures of logic and have just one decimal point
When we correctly write 1/3 as a decimal we have two decimal points the first being . as in .33333
and the second decimal point is written with a paranthesis such as .33333(1/3)
So the first decimal point is . and the second is (1/3) and it matters not how many 3s you write in
.33333(1/3)
is the same as .33333333333333(1/3)
for the second decimal point (1/3) is at the infinite borderline.
Now, how do we write just the plain .333333......
And that is not 1/3, as you understand by now
To write .33333..... properly is to write .33333(0) which means that at the infinity borderline 1*10^604 (back in 2014 I mistakenly thought it was 10^603) the number .33333(0) has 604 digits of 3 and then the number stops, for no Rational number extends beyond 604 digits, and where only irrationals and infinite numbers are encountered after the borderline.
I am tired of looking and will just place it on faith that it was 2009 that I invented the second decimal point, the added on increment that makes 1/3 not be .33333.... but rather be .33333(1/3).
Today I call it the Suffix for it is a quick easy term and expresses a remainder sort of idea.
Now, why could not the mathematicians from Fibonacci onwards have realized that 1/3 is not really .333333..... and is missing that suffix, that increment, that remainder. Why oh why were mathematicians so very stupid and idiots of the subject? Why? Well, the answer is that math rarely has anyone with a 1/3 brain of logic. Most mathematicians are awarded a college degree in mathematics fueled by a 1/99 brain of logic abilities, for we can see this in the fact that the nattering nutters math professors could not even see that a conic section is never a ellipse, but is an oval.
If you have math professors teaching that a conic section is an ellipse, there is no hope that these fools could ever discover the missing remainder in a decimal representation of 1/3, no hope. You would be lucky a math professor, if male, can count his balls and get the same answer the second time.
