Are "dark" numbers the same as non-standard numbers?

I don't understand WM's explanation of his intuition behind "dark" integers, but maybe they're the same as "non-standard" integers.

Maybe this is his intuition:

Consider the sequence of sets S_n = {n, n+1, ... 2n-1}

If that sequence has a limit, then that limit must contain no standard integers, but must contain infinitely many integers that are bigger than any standard integer, and these "bigger" integers can be called "dark" integers, or perhaps "non-standard" integers.

I see no reason to believe that such an intuition couldn't be formalized in a consistent way.

That is deplorable. Consider the endsegments E(n) = {n, n+1, n+2, ...}. They are all infinite but have an empty intersection. That is a contradiction, because they are inclusion-monotonic: All are contained in their predecessors and therefore have an infinite intersection with them

∀k ∈ ℕ: ∩{E(1), E(2), ..., E(k)} = E(k) /\ |E(k)| = ℵ₀

An empty intersection cannot result from standard infinite endsegments

|∩{E(k) : k ∈ ℕ_def}| = ℵ₀

On the other hand, no natural numbers can be found in the intersection. They are dark.

Standard integers n are such which can be defined (a decimal representation can be found and the finite initial segments {1, 2, 3, ..., n} can be found). The sequence of sets
S_n = {n, n+1, ... 2n-1}
or the sequence of sets
E(n) = {n, n+1, n+2, ...}
must contain infinitely many integers that are bigger than any standard integer.

Almost all integers are non-standard. I call them dark. The standard integers are a tiny, potentially infinite subset.

Wrong. the intersection of all endsegments is empty, as k is not in E(k+1), when will you learn simple math ?

the intersection is not an endsegment, confused one.

there are no dark numbers.

Wrong. integers do not have decimal representation, dummy. Google Counting Numbers

that is one set, where are the others ??

that is one set called an endsegment, where are the others ? did you forget them ?

But those are only intersections of FINITE number of sets, that has no bearing on the infinite number of sets intersection!

I think that the best description of WM's dark numbers
that I've been able to devise is that they're
general-purpose counter-examples.
Everlasting proof-stoppers.

If we matheologians claim that natural numbers
gyre and gimble in the wabe, then WM claims that
_dark numbers_ do not gyre and gimble in the wabe.

This produces the appearance of WM being able to discuss
gyring and gimbling in the wabe, without requiring him
to find out what it means to gyre and gimble in the wabe.

Whatever the defects this strategy may have, I admit
that it is very efficient in its use of WM's time.

I too have, in the past, thought that dark numbers
could be non-standard numbers. That never quite worked
out, somehow. It seems to me now that non-standard
numbers are contrary to the purpose of dark numbers,
because one can prove claims about them, infinitely-
-many though they are. It seems to me that the purpose
of dark numbers to to keep things from being proved.

If the limit is taken for each natural, each n
leaves the sequence and does not return.
The limit would be the empty set.
And, yes, it does not contain any standard integers.
But this is utter matheology.

I expect that part of WM's intuitions can be formalized
in a consistent way. Robinson arithmetic springs to mind.

All of WM's intuitions?
That seems very unlikely to me.
WM explains inconsistencies in his posts
as proof of the incorrectness of everyone else.
I think that claiming that everyone else is wrong
is something he would be very slow to give up.

I don't know how this could be tested, but I suspect
that, if somehow all WM's intuitions were found
to be consistent, he would turn to new intuitions.
Being an iconoclast seems to be very important to him.

Could I ask you to be more precise? Precisely in what way is what I wrote "deplorable" ?

How much more precise do you want it? WM thinks his gobbledygook about dark numbers must be perfectly and instantly understandable to anyone who comes in contact with it. (It is not; it is contradictory garbage.) That you are evidently skeptical makes it (and you) deplorable --- in his eyes. More is not necessary to know.

In mathematics an inclusion monotonic decreasing sequence of sets like the endsegments has an empty intersection only when an empty set is reached. Before that there would exist a non-empty minimum.

Every definable endsegment E(n) belongs to a finite number of sets, namely to the n first endsegments.

It is equal to the potentially infinite collection of definable natural numbers. If those were all natural numbers, then there would no actual infinity (and no endsegment) exist.

If you go through all natural numbers and drop them into a garbage can, then you end up with the empty set? Or with ω? Or is it impossible to go through all because there is no all?

The latter would be fact in potentialinfinity.

> And, yes, it does not contain any standard integers.
> But this is utter matheology.

Either matheology is wrong, because we have only potential infinity. Then there will be no limit at all. On the other hand, even in actual infinity, we will never reach ω or an empty set with *defined* natural numbers. Therefore, if there are all natural numbers, then there must be some which we can not drop into the garbage can. ZThey must even be the actuallyinfinite part of ℕ, because FISONs are not actually infinite.

Chuckle. I would be very glad if countermathematical ideas, which are provably wrong, as an empty intersection of infinite inclusion monotonic sets, would be eradicated. Can you really support the idea that the intersection could be empty because infinitely many sets are involved? Would infinitely many sets {1} give an empty intersection? But infinite sets should give an empty intersection???

I found it deploarable that you don't understand, as you said. But as it turned out, you have understood. Your example resembles my example of endsegments.

> I just don't know what your point is.

*Infinite* inclusion monotonic sets cannot have an empty intersection. The idea that the intersection of *infinite* endsegments could be empty because infinitely many sets are involved is wrong. Infinitely many sets {1} would not give an empty intersection either.

Sorry, my bad.

"Matheology" is WM's standard insult to
regular mathematics.
I mean to say the empty limit would not be part of
a formalization acceptable to WM.

however the intersection of all endsegments is empty,
trivial proof, assume any number k is in an endsegment, E(k), then it is not in the E(k+1) endsegment.

"definable" is a troll defined term

are you looking at your hands, or in the garbage can ?

Can you really support the idea that the intersection could be empty because infinitely many sets are involved? Would infinitely many sets {1} give an empty intersection? But infinite sets should give an empty intersection???

Eat this, you Chumley;

assume any number k is in an endsegment, E(k), then it is not in the E(k+1) endsegment.

WM is a crank, every single post of his has intentional errors, he posts no Math content.
You would like him if your into pseudo math or pretend math.
