I had hoped that we could fight ignorance with a proactive rather than a reactive approach, but this is clearly the improper forum for that. A quick survey of the length of threads initiated by or drifting to nonsense compared to the length of threads based on sound thinking reveals the true interest in the proposal. While it would be a useful project to contribute to the FAQ, the intent was to educate in the context of discussion, a virtual "classroom" if you will. There's no point in contributing to a reference that none of the "students" will read or attempt to learn from. The intention was to focus on *exactly* what is wrong in someone's thinking (which varies from person to person), set it straight, and then make progress from there. I had high hopes -- really -- that perhaps one misguided soul would read something sensible and say, "Oh... Really?...Oh. I see I was confused. OK, I get it now. Now what about...?" My head knew better, my heart does not.

Rabbi Albert Einstein in 1895 failed an examination that would have allowed him to study for a diploma as an electrical engineer at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule in Zurich (couldn't even pass the SATs). According to Phuckwit Duck it was geography and history that Einstein failed on, as if Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule would give a damn. That tells you the lengths these lying *******s will go to to protect their tin god, but its always a laugh when they slip up. Trolls, the lot of them.

I once read a nice little 'definition' (to paraphrase): Time is that which allows things to change. In building a unidirectional numerical system that matches time one can come to understand that time is zero dimensional: Nonsense Your criticism lacks content. The generalization of sign is an overlooked piece of mathematics. The properties of the two-signed numbers (the reals) have been generalized in a straightforward manner. The results expose that sign and dimensionality are directly related. Many will focus on the concept of 'now' when discussing time and will dismiss time as nonexistent. This is nearly what the one-signed numbers expose however they also grant the unidirectional nature of time arithmetically. An insistence to build all numerical constructs from the real numbers will not convey the polysign system clearly. To build polysign numbers from two-signed numbers is not legitimate. Instead magnitude must be used as a basis. There is perhaps a more exotic basis that will better serve physics such as a transform to (1/ (x+1)) but regardless of physics a clean mathematical model of classical and observed time is the one-signed numbers. Part of the trouble is that dimension has been defined in terms of the real number basis through the Cartesian product. Under polysign there is a different route to dimension. The two seem to coexist nicely but down at the bottom the one-signed numbers (P1) cannot be rendered into a Cartesian system. Many would enforce an exception for P1 were they to swallow the polysign construction. That is how I started out but it is clear that no exceptions should exist in a pure mathematical construction. Instead we see that under the polysign context a zero dimensional arithmetic entity is defined with slightly more detail than the Cartesian point. All dimensions in the polysign system allow for large accumulations while allowing a local geometry; the components merely need to be balanced. So a principle of accumulation may apply to time and to space as well. -Tim |

So does your website It may be that you do not understand what you are reading. It may also be true that my website is lacking content yet it is the best that I can do. The polysign topic is presented in a way that I believe is legible to a nonmathematical person who is familiar with the real numbers at a grade school level. Sum and product in general sign are defined. These are consistent with the traditional math as two-signed numbers(P2). So the transition is not so challenging. To challenge the view of P2 as unquestionably fundamental. They are not fundamental under the polysign constuction. It is evident that the complex numbers are as fundamental as the real numbers and have no additional rules. Traditional math has not found this because sign has never been generalized. The gains of the polysign system are considerable. Were it not for these consequential details I do think that a generalized sign might be worth neglecting. Instead I see staggering consequences. It is not I who is staggered- it is the traditional math that has been staggering around with a staircased dimensional design. These maths coexist and I do not discount the Cartesian thinking completely. Still, under the polysign construction dimension can be taken from signature. This is radically different and the underlying geometry is subtly different. See for instance http://bandtechnology.com/PolySigned...e/Lattice.html I am sincerely curious what your substantial criticism is since that will help me to revise. However the one-line rejection that you communicate is not helpful and if anything does not reflect well on your own internet presence. Will Mr. Hyde step forward? -Tim |

Your arbitrary decision to introduce more signs is simply making adding extra dimensions. There is nothing new about that either. Yes, there are new consequences. The simplest continuum concept without sign is magnitude in its traditional sense. I agree that there is nothing new in my usage of the word magnitude. But signs are not 'confused' with dimensions. Instead a simple relationship is established. For instance in three-signed numbers we observe that - 1 + 1 * 1 = 0 or in general - x + x * x = 0 where x is a magnitude. The superposition of such numbers directly implies that they take a 2D form. For instance were I to consider a three-signed(P3) value z = - 2.3 + 1.2 * 3.4 - 5.2 * 1.1 we could take a first step of simplifying: z = - 7.5 + 1.2 * 4.5 by applying a very simple law: s1 x1 + s1 x2 = s1( x1 + x2) where s is sign, x is magnitude, and '+' means superposition. This is familiar from the real numbers where - 2.3 - 1.1 = - 3.4 so in this line above s1 is '-' (or sign one) and x1 is 2.3 and x2 is 1.1 . Applying this law further we see that z = - 1.2 + 1.2 * 1.2 - 6.3 * 3.3 . The next stage of simplification uses the rule - x + x * x = 0 which is symmetrical to the usual rule in the reals (P2) - x + x = 0 . Since the first three components - 1.2 + 1.2 * 1.2 of this latest expression of z cancel to zero we then see that z = - 6.3 * 3.3 . This value does not reduce further. In the reals (P2) the same procedures apply. Rather than reducing to two terms as in P3 a P2 (the reals) expression will always reduce to at most one term. This is the dimensional relation and in hindsight you will see that it follows graphically with perfect correspondence to the plane: http://bandtechnology.com/PolySigned...edGeometry.png Thus P3 is a vector space in the traditional sense though its components appear adulterated to a Cartesian thinker such as yourself. However this is the natural form of generalized sign and in general it is observed that D = n - 1 where D is traditional dimension and n is the signature. In the example above n is 3. Whereas Cartesian thought requires one to introduce a Cartesian product no such construction is required under generalized sign. Thus an arithmetic route to dimension is established. Upon defining products in polysign I can show you that the complex numbers are P3 but I should focus directly on your criticism so let's forgo that. At last you have detailed criticism. Now perhaps we can find out where I have gone wrong in communicating to you. Is there a better way to state this relation? The layout as I have given above is nearly the same as on my website. This instance is slightly more complicated though perhaps the complication makes more apparent. I keep trying subtle variations in the hope of getting through but rarely does it happen. If only I could present this material better then it could be better appreciated. I am grateful of your persistence here. A disproof by you would be valuable though I believe that you will fail such an attempt; the construction of polysign numbers is clean. -Tim |

Wouldn't your interpretation only cover half of the plane? Why then do the three-signed numbers cover the whole plane? Then what about four-signed math? is this merely 2D with full coverage? The answer is no, it is 3D with full coverage. A simplex coordinate system is detailed on my website. These four-signed numbers behave algebraically. They are not quaternions. They are a new breed. You still have not come to see the product have you? This is an algebraic system that exists in every dimension, including a zero- dimensional space which is the one-signed numbers(P1). P1 has perfect correspondence to time. Much better than the typical real valued usage which is cause of many puzzling threads such as this one. Can you name a seven dimensional math that obeys the associative and commutative laws under arithmetic superposition and product? I can. It is P8. Best of all the magnitude behavior of the higher sign spaces under product have an interesting change in behavior beginning at P4. So a natural form of spacetime is established under the polysign construction. I admit that I do not yet have a full physical theory built around the polysign math. Yet such a theory will have power far beyond an arbitrary choice of three dimensional space and one dimension of time. Does the theoretician explain observation with mathematics? In that spacetime is observed it is then the theoretical burden of physicists to explain such observation mathematically. Merely mimicing spacetime is not enough. I predict that spacetime is structured rather than isotropic. I predict that an electron's spin will flow naturally out of anisotropic spacetime under the polysign progression. I predict that Maxwell's equations are not a unification. They are instead a tight relation and that is why to this day we still use charge and magnetism as distinct properties. I predict that electromagnetic phenomena are a direct statement about spacetime itself and that insistence on a Cartesian model of spacetime is invalid. I predict that the tensor math of relativity is misused and that the (a)symmetric tensors which expose electromagnetic behavior are symptomatic of these other claims. Proof of such concepts I do not yet have, but strong signals are present. Certainly these claims are too much to discuss here but the dimensional behaviors outlined above will suffice to discuss won't they? We seem to have a real discrepancy. You say that the three- signed numbers only cover half of the plane yet the graphics which I've already presented to you cover the whole plane. The four signed numbers cover 3D space. The five signed numbers cover 4D space. Perhaps you have not seen http://bandtechnology.com/PolySigned...Transform.html Your claim is false for simpler reasons. If your claim were true then the P3 coordinate - 1 + 1 * 1 would be away from the origin and the coordinate - 1 + 1 would be at the origin. Instead the polysign construction inherently tells us that in P3 - 1 + 1 * 1 is at the origin. This does not jibe with your interpretation. So I must plead with you that you have not obeyed the definitions of the polysign construction. We want generalized sign and in hindsight you can see that the behavior of the reals (P2) which will get it is - x + x = 0 . Symmetrically for P3 - x + x * x = 0 . There is perfect balance between the three signs under superposition. To treat one of them uniquely under superposition does not follow. In the product we do observe a break in symmetry (even for the reals) and this is where things get interesting. For instance: http://bandtechnology.com/PolySigned/MagnitudeSweep -Tim |
