There is no permutation of the Xs in

XOOO...
XOOO...
XOOO...
XOOO...
...

such that all positions are covered by Xs.

If it were, it would imply, that in the sequence

XOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

all Os could be covered by the X.

Therefore Cantor's notion of countability is trash.

The above besides being meaningless, has nothing at all to do with countablility, Pupa.

What is trash is your idiocy to think that one X and an infinite number of them must necessarily be able to perform *ALL* the same functions. That, of course, is nonsense, I suspect a brain fart either due to your dementia or to your excessive use of alcohol or some other recreational drug.

Maybe it would help to consider the space of words and the
space of numbers as various things.

I.e. the "language of {0,1} Cantor space" and "range of
all infinite 0-1 sequences Cantor space" as different things,
though of course that in the finite they're same, that in the
infinite they're not quite same. This then helps distinguish
any difference between "counting" and "numbering" and helps
explain why "the trans-finite well-ordered is defined ordinary"
while "numbering infinity doesn't necessarily admit a standard model".

Of course WM is rather a drunk nincompoop but that doesn't mean
that because idiots argue against something that there isn't
something along those lines.

I like to think about the space of words and space of numbers as
along the lines of "it's all 0's and 1's down there but all true and
false up here", the same space of all values and ideas.

Then, for Cantor space 0-1 sequences, or 2^w, is that basically
there certainly _is_ a notion of said space what is "square", besides
the usual notion that "as b^p is exponential in p it's entirely narrow".

Right. It's like saying that all the blanks in a given radix systems are filled with 3s, that is, 0.333... where X=3.

Chuckle. Wolfgang, you are a persistent man, but you can't fix stupid. No amount of reason or logic will convince cranks because by definition:

A crank is one who cannot be convinced in the face of overwhelming evidence.

Here you are still arguing about that delusional moron Georg Cantor's "Diagonal Argument"... tsk, tsk.

Of course Cuntor's notion of "cuntability" is a load of trash.

Georg Cantor is the Father of all mainstream mathematical cranks.

It works according to (n + m)(n + m + 1)/2 + m = k. Alas for every such k the set of O's has not changed by more than zero.

Why? Look, you can also try to bring the fractions into the first column. Also here you fail for every natural number k

Fail. No set of O's is required, that is diversion, red herring.

This is your usual nonsense, devoid of any understanding. You have no clue about infinity or limits, and the fact that *EVERY* natural number is followed by infinitely many others larger than it, is your pons, asinus asinorum.

> Cantor's notion of countability is trash.

Your ideas are trash, in particular, but certainly not restricted to, Cantor's notion of countability.

Limits of set theory are rubbish. The best example is McDuck. But here we see it too. All definable transpositions let all places of the matrix occupied. The belief that in the limit this could change is not substantiated with matematics but at most with follish matheology.

> and the fact that *EVERY* natural number is followed by infinitely many others larger than it, is

the proof that Cantor's formula k = (m + n - 1)(m + n - 2)/2 + m is insufficient to rule all.

When sites get paid for traffic of their users' accounts,
and, 90-95% of the accounts are fake or dupes,
it kind of makes you wonder about the accuracy of such metrics,
at all.

One time I was working on this subsystem a click-collector,
and was like "hey I discovered this bug is duplicating hits",
and it was like "don't worry about it". Kind of like the guy
gig'ed to hand out promotions flyers to cool people, who
dumps then in the nearest round-file and absconds with the money.

(As computing resources costs drop sockpuppets become cheap and
real authentication becomes more valuable.)

Anyways Sergio I find the notions of that Cantor's space is
separate models of words and numbers very compelling,
it really ends up solving lots of issues in foundations,
and for that matter seems most clearly reflects "true" foundations.

Also it provides a model of "standard" infinitesimals. Many people
think that the differential is best represented this way.

(That it's primary.)

To that end I have cultivated in this group a hesitant uncertainty.

that is not math at all, but your imagination. Your brain cells are continuing to definabley migrate transpositions all over the place of your occupied
matrix between your ears.

Nothing has changed, no O's has been dealt with. The function is surjective

We do not need to do anything of the sort. It is a function that is surjective and all and that is all that matters, not your fucking matrix.

Why? We can make functions that are injective and bijective to/with N.

You've already gone far beyond what is necessary to dismiss Georg Cranktor's bullshit.

**There is no such thing as an infinite decimal expansion**

To claim otherwise, is equivalent to claiming an *infinite task* is possible.

No need to proceed past this point. End of discussion.

Speaking of which...

When will YOU learn, Troll Boy?

JG here claims to have a discovered a shortcut to mastering calculus without using limits. Unfortunately for him, this means he has no workable a definition of the derivative of a function. It blows up for functions as simple f(x)=|x|. Or even f(x)=0. As a result, he has had to ban 0, negative numbers and instantaneous rates of change rendering his goofy little system quite useless.

Forget calculus. JG has also banned all axioms because he cannot even derive the most elementary results of basic arithmetic, e.g. 2+2=4. Such results require the use of axioms, so he must figure he's now off the hook.

Even at his advanced age (60+?), John Gabriel is STILL struggling with basic, elementary-school arithmetic. As he has repeatedly posted here:

"There are no points on a line."

"Pi is NOT a number of ANY kind!"

The thing about such simple, clear arguments is that they are too complex for mainstream mathematics baboons.
If you threw in a lot of bullshit and perhaps several pages of hand waving, you would probably stand a better chance.

So fine, you're telling them there is no such thing as an infinite decimal expansion, but it's not complex enough. You have to give them something that uses their bullshit beliefs and turn it into a theatre of nonsense - then and only then, will they be dumbfounded beyond their usual inability to comprehend all the layers of excrement so as to "ooh and aah" incredulously at your revelations.

True story:
I watched a video where a professor purposely gave a speech that was full of garbage and although no one understood, all of them clapped in earnest. After the speech, one of the audience approached and informed him that he couldn't understand anything and that nothing made sense. The professor then informed him that he purposely spoke garbage to see if any of the other faculty members would notice as he was of the opinion that most of them never listen in any case.

But not completely, because there is no last digit. A completely representing sequence has an end signal.

Like you they are unable to understand that the X will never cover all O let alone all matrixplaces although every step than can be checked leaves the nunbers of X and O absolutely constant. They are unable, like you, to understand that every column has precisely the same number of places and therefore Cantor's claim is much more foolish than what has put him to the madhouse. Under normal conditions everybody claiming that there are as many fractions as natnumnbers (which is the true meaning of bijection: precisely as many) should be comitted to a madhouse.

It's not even in the formula because a formula is not a number and a number is not a formula.

number =/= formula

I suppose if one bothers to ask why they have different names, the meaning might become clearer.

A number is a name given to a measure that describes (not partially, not approximately, not with "3 dots") a magnitude or size.

Finite digit sequences and infinite digit sequences
represent in different ways.

----
For *finite digit sequences* it's enough that,
for the operations "add one" and "divide by ten",
each input has one and only one output.

For each finite digit sequence,
there is a finite sequence of those operations.
For example, ".12" has
|add one|add one|divide by ten|add one|divide by ten|

There is no step of the operation-sequence which
does not have one and only one output. Including
the last operation-step.

We define that one and only one output of the last
operation to be what the finite digit sequence represents.

Having a last operation and having a last digit is a
necessary part of representing _for finite digit sequences_

----
That's not how an *infinite digit sequence* represents.

Where a finite digit sequence has a finite sequence of
operations and a last operation,
an infinite digit sequence has an infinite sequence of
finite initial digit-segments.

For each finite initial digit-segment, there is a finite
sequence of operations, as before, and an interval
output from the finite sequence's last operation.

So, for an infinite digit sequence, there is
an infinite sequence of finite initial digit-sequences
and an infinite sequence of intervals.

We know that there is _one and only one_ point which is
in each interval in that infinite sequence.
We define that one and only one point to be what
the infinite digit sequence represents.

----
Finite digit sequences and infinite digit sequences
are different in whether there is a last digit and
a last operation outputting what is represented.

Finite digit sequences and infinite digit sequences
are the same in representing one and only one point.

It's "one and only one point" which we need
for representing. We don't need "last operation".

I think there is a difference between the sequences in
binary, and, sequences in trinary or higher radix.

Not just a difference in the labels, actually there are
differences in the spaces.

It's a matter of deduction that from the properties of the
space, and that basically, reading down a column of
the rows in the space, a fixed portion of the rows have
the given portion of the values by the uniform values.

Then of course besides Eudoxus/Dedkind/Cauchy I point
to usual notions of line-drawing as also modeling continuity,
when then for Hardy per geometry, that these numbers
relate to the points variously "in" or "on" the line, Euclid's.


Also recently I was thinking about the correlation coefficient
as another way to define the theorems of a probability theory,
with respect to pdf, CDF, MGF, ..., if you are familiar with probability
theory and its usual formalisms, with respect to such notions as
"the naturals at uniform random".

When thinking about infinity these are usual enough considerations.

Of course I wouldn't point out line-drawing and your mention
of the use of the limit without pointing out that the equivalency
function or here sweep is the limit of usual uniform partitions
of unity by integers (naturals).

The limit of course is the fundamental tool for statements about
exhaustion, since Cauchy/Weierstrass of course. (From whom the
formalisms of real analysis are today as about the complete ordered
field, and of course real numbers in set theory from the complete ordered
field are exactly equivalence classes of sequences that are Cauchy, and
not Dedekind cuts or some such thing that is simply an assignment
like initial ordinals to cardinalities.)

Then of course your brick-batting of WM is easy enough that for
a challenge I encourage you to take a few shots at this.

Those are "raster graphics", there are also, "vector graphics".

I.e. in the old days there were even vector/plotter monitors, that basically instead of
interlacing at a constant rate basically were driven by analog and vector paths.

So, don't confuse today's ubiquitous with what else could be.

If you'd like to know more about television and 6 MHz bandwifth, and YCbCr, and
today's usual algorithms like the DCT and DWT, after RGB, and variously the
tristimulus colorspaces and even for that matter the entire construction of
LCD and LED displays, there's quite plenty to it, then also you might be interested
in vector graphics or for that matter, round monitors.

You can learn a lot from information and signal theory.

Because, each photo you look at today, with your eyeball,
was projected on your retina, and rolled up to the nerve in the middle.

and today they send transforms of the pictures instead, like an FFT of the picture, they send the FFT, but I think they use the descrete cosign
transform, DCT, notice how when you have low signal it pixulates into smaller squares with odd bar patterns ?

(but all these ways take a picture, a matrix of values, and puts it into a linear sequence to be transmitted)

(ALSO, if you listen to shortwave, checkout the hundreds of advanced modulations used today! (you can get an SDRplay radio for $100, hook it up to your

then your brain has to figure it out, I dont think anyone has figured that out yet, closest thing is neural networks, which is used bigtime for image

As long as the image that is basically a spiral sweep
or conical in a sense (not in the rods and cone sense
but all pulled into the largest nerve its bundle) is basically
as sufficient to return the signal as the raster, OK.

The software defined radio you mention is indeed quite
interesting, also for software defined antennae. (Or signals,
engineering.)

When you hear about neural nets, then you should know that "AI" was
invented since the 50's, and it's always been cheaper to have a
conceptual system known as "expert systems", then that, there
is the very powerful in "statistical inference", and, "neural nets"
are quite simple in form and operation and work on whatever sets
of data as a stimulus/reponse machine. I.e. "neural nets" don't
know "knowledge inference". It's it's much more efficient to
have a context and knowledge inference, but, it's much more
expert and demanding than "train on any old set of data".

The ontology and philogeny and cladistics for ... information
and information retrieval, related to something like knowledge
inference format or basically an encyclopedia, is basically
orthogonal to something like resource definition format, or
data points.

Statistical inference is its own matter, basically for a wide spectrum
as it were of model-matching besides all sorts usual simple test on
various distributions of data. Spectral analysis as you mention or
component analysis for example is again another example of where
gradient descent is very efficient, but not protection from worst case.


Cantor is a famous mathematician and for the uncountable, but this
is the 21st century and after Goedel and Cohen there's again for a
both renewal of the retro-classical that preceded it, and, for more real
mathematics of infinitesimals and infinities, that physics needs, that
starts with simple facts about Cantor space the binary case, sweep()
the counterexample a countable continuous domain, and all what follows
from my slates.

Measure means *EXACT*. It does not mean a failed measure such as 0.333... or 3.14159... or any representation followed by "3 dots".


Dictionary definition of measure: ascertain the size, amount, or degree of (something) by using an instrument or device marked in standard units (****).

Notice it says nothing about formula or 3 dots. Chuckle. This is why it is important for children to learn the language of instruction well because it affects their understanding negatively in every respect. This dismal incompetence and stupidity of the Church of Math Academia has resulted in delusions such as 1 = 0.999... or 1/3 = 0.333... or pi = 3.14159... when in fact NEITHER the magnitude NOR the measure known as pi actually exist. Pi is not a number but a rational approximation in a FAILED measure of ANY circle's periphery using its diameter as UNIT (****).

Indeed!

A *number* is a *name* given to a *measure* of a *magnitude* or size.

The magnitude in the case of the *realisation* of the failed measure of the CONSTANT pi which is the antecedent of the ratio circumference : diameter, that is circumference. If what my intellectual inferiors in the mainstream imagine to be true, then every circle circumference is Pi! Chuckle.

Historical Note: By convention of the Ancient Greeks (my brilliant ancestors), the antecedent is measured by the consequent IFF "quotientness" (πηλικότητα) is present.

That is how logical systems work, they are valid until you show an internal contradiction. That is why you cannot say "There is nothing infinite" in mathematics because it is INDEPENDENT of reality so we can add that as an axiom and it works :)

Your "measure" is entirely meaningless mathematically

Given there is no meaning to your "measure" mathematically, it cannot be determined it is failed or not.

A dictionary is descriptive of common usage, it does not define what things means, especially not in professional fields.

And? Again, it is not a mathematics book so what it says a word means is irrelevant. And no, your garbage is not mathematics.

You need to learn that there are different meanings in different contexts and what the common usage of somethign is is not the same as the professional in a field.

>This dismal incompetence and stupidity of the Church of Math Academia has resulted in delusions such as 1 = 0.999... or 1/3 = 0.333...

All of which are provable so those are not "delusions", but you are delusional.

Which means little to nothing given you cannot define it mathematically.

Without an end signal and without a formula you don't know the number.

That is a formula! It describes a number or is a number. My claim is that without a formula you don't have a number.

Infinite digit sequences without a formula defining them are not describing numbers because they are not exsting. See my above example.

Because there is a frigging *THEOREM* for that, you fucking lunatic. (The case of repeating zeroes --- or nines --- at the end is included so as not to distinguish between terminating and non-terminating expansions.)

You have not specified if your number is a fraction or not.

Also, the way it is written means it is truncated at the ? mark.

which is this number 0.322322322322322322322000000000000....


Instead you name a fraction, and we'll give you the decimal representation.

Its integer part is zero, so the rest is the fractional part. Is it
rational or not is a separate question. Since he doesn't include the
dots, it probably tails off with repeating zeroes which makes it
rational.

Yes, he abuses notation yet again but it makes no difference since
endlessly repeated sequences which aren't zeroes or nines also indicate
rationals in CDE.

I know at least it's something interesting that in the past you talked

Who was that again who coined the term? What are these "infinite" "numbers"?

Ross A. Finlayson presented the following explanation :
IIRC it was Chris Thomasson refering to 'non-terminating' sequences of
fractional part digits as 'infinite numbers' since there is no end to
their CDE. As you know, there is actually no end to the others either
-- we just call them terminating when they tail off to all nines or all
zeroes.

You must remember that in our Professor's kingdom, zero is NOT an natural number. (Neither is the empty set a set)

Therefore, strings like 47.32870643 are NOT valid representations of real numbers.

Which leads us to the result that ten (10) must be the first dark (Drahk) natural number.

WM must therefore purge the natural numbers of its infestation of 0's thusly

10 => 1x
20 => 2x

300 => 3xx

4050290 => 4x5x29x

I will let him continue on the naturals at his own natural speed

47.32870643 => 47.3287x643

The backstopping of the Ruble with gold can come in many forms and doesn’t

0.448448448448 isn't an infinite digit sequence.

While you are correct in saying that one can only realise a repeated pattern from a process (formula or method), you are wrong to say that without it you don't have a number.

Repeating radix representations are *unremarkable* (as they are a property of numbers whose MEASURE is not possible in certain radix or positional systems) but they most definitely are a result of ATTEMPTING to measure a NUMBER that cannot be measured in certain radix systems. 1/3 is a very well-formed number. However, there is no formula here. 1/3 is a measure of a ratio. Here are just a few UNEQUAL ratios whose measure is 1/3:

_ : _ _ _
_ _ : _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ : _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
etc.

If you try to measure 1/3 in radix 10, then you fail because the NUMBER 1/3 cannot be measured using the decimal position system.

The term "rational" should never appear before "number" because rationality is implied by number and vice-versa.

So to summarise, number =/= formula. It is _very important_ to use correct words and definitions. Number and Formula are NOT synonyms, not ever!

Your example proves nothing. It only states the obvious, that is, that an infinite measure is not possible. Of course to the fools in the mainstream, this is ignored in favour of their delusional beliefs that are provably contradictory in so many ways even as you yourself have discovered.

The proof that there is no such thing as an infinite decimal expansion is a result of the fact that a measure by definition is "complete", not approximate, not partial, not followed by 3 dots, but COMPLETE.

The CONSTANT known as Pi is an attempt to measure a ratio whose antecedent is a circle's circumference and whose consequent is its diameter. Any attempt to measure c:d results in a NUMBER which is an approximation, in other words, Pi as a number does NOT exist. It does not exist as a magnitude either because every unique circle has a circumference of different length. It's the attempted measure in every case that reveals the CONSTANT known as Pi.

Yes, I do know better! You would do well to study what I tell you because I am much smarter than you or anyone else.

In geometry, the above ratios are in proportion but not equal. In algebra, we are concerned only with their measure, that is, the abstract unit which assumes ALL the properties of the consequent from geometry, but disregards the size of the consequent and that is why it is called an "abstract unit".

All irrelevant to mathematics. Are you really so primitive like a neanderthal that you think you have to do physical measurements?

Here you make the claim that complete = finite, that has not been established but is assumed by you.

No. A decimal representation that cannot be described does not bring a number to your mind. But that is the task of a decimal representation. As you know there is no infinite decimal representation without a formula prescribing every digit.

I did not ask for that. I asked: How could you know that my example is continued by 322?

That is a question to be answered by those who believe in infinite decimal representations without generating formulae.

Every written sequence necessarily ends somewhere. But those who believe that infinite sequences could exist without generating formula should know how to continue. What is the next digit following upon 0.322322322322322322322 in an infinite sequence?

Again you forget the dark realm. At definable step number n there is always an interval described. The limit would be a point. But you cannot know the limit from the sequence alone.

It is, but I could not write all its digits. So I ceased, hoping you could continue without formula (or you would understand that this is impossible).

Fucking liar. You asked two questions that are independent of each other and now pretend they are related. *FUCK YOU*!

It is *NOT*, you lying, fucking piece of shit! You asked how one knows that fractions have an eventually repeating decimal expansion. The answer is "Yes", and it relies on a simple *THEOREM*. That you pretend you don't know that marks you as a lying prick and an asshole. But *THEN*, you miserable son of a bitch, you changed the subject by asking for the continuation of a digit string without telling the reader whether the number was even supposed to be rational or not. Of *COURSE* the reader cannot answer. That is a classic "bait-and-switch". You deliberately cheated, and I was calling you out on that. I also asked you to *FUCK OFF*, and I repeat that request.

It happens that WM formulated :
0.322322322322322322321(9)...

or

0.322322322322322322322(0)...

You probably meant

0.(322)...

but it is hard to tell what you are 'thinking'.

1. that is not an infinite sequence.

2. the next number in above is 0, since you did not specify other criteria


3. if you add the three dots ... then it would be 322 repeating (as mitch would say)


4. You are unfamiliar with common math nomenclature too.
