"What's 'the equation'."

"Literally any equation. I gotta back into the logic for this one, i believe. Let's start simple: what is 1/0?"

"Undefined"

"Good. So any equation that contains a "divide by zero" element has its result scrutinized, as potentially incorrect, no?

Even if that equation used letters like x and y to hide, intentionally or not, it's "divide by zero" moment."

"Right"

"So, if all results end up undefined, because every equation in mathematics gets linked to every other, then you end up with an indeterminate field, by my logic.

Then you look at the indeterminate waves within the field, like 1->7->1 which I began this with.

Mathematics is flawed because it does not take the calculator into account btw, the observer of the equation being solved. This redefining of the undefined as indeterminancy instead, I believe, solves that.

So now one is finding specific values, deterministically, within an indeterminate field. As such, an entire field of mathematics is revealed, unborn.

With an anchor of this sort, accepted by all, so much could be solved so quickly..."

"Isn't indeterminancy a synonym for undefineable 

Undefined mathematics"

"Maybe at one time, to lesser mortals than ourselves. ;) You gotta be careful when claiming synonyms when semantics are material. Dimethyl- is it Tetrachloride or Tetrachlorine for DMT?"

"Anyway, imagine if our numbers, for example, did not originate at zero, but at the "hypothetical perfect odd something or other number." There's some unicorn of a number out there that fits a bid with many even numbers, but apparently they're can only be one odd version of it.

So imagine a species where that was their "zero," from our perspective. All we'd have to do is interact, call each other's origins x and y in our own equations, and mathematics at large would look like child's play."
