1 Divided By 3

What is the area of a circle that has a diameter of 3? Did you learn anything? Did you retain it? Can you recall it?

Here’s some music that might calm you down. Please listen.

RIP Marie! What an Angel!

So to recap:

More learnins:

Base 10: 1.0 / 10 = .10 so
.1 means .1 of 1.0
.2 means .2 of 1.0
.3 means .3 of 1.0
.4 means .4 of 1.0
.5 means .5 of 1.0
.6 means .6 of 1.0
.7 means .7 of 1.0
.8 means .8 of 1.0
.9 means .9 of 1.0
1.0 means 1.0 of 1.0

Base 9: 1.0 / 9 = .111… so
.1 means .111… of 1.0
.2 means .222… of 1.0
.3 means .333… of 1.0
.4 means .444… of 1.0
.5 means .555… of 1.0
.6 means .666… of 1.0
.7 means .777… of 1.0
.8 means .888… of 1.0
1.0 means .999…of 1.0

So to recap:

In base 9, .3 means .333… of 1.0, which means 3 of those parts equals .999… of 1.0
So in base 9, 1 divided by 3 is the same amount of pie as .333… is in base 10, which in both bases, 3 of those pieces are less than 100% of the pie.
Base 9 means 3 pieces of .3 equal 99.999…% of the pie, which is less than 100% of the pie!
So you can not cut a pie into 3 equal pieces, IN REALITY, IN ANY BASE!
Everyone good now? :slight_smile:

No.

I’m not fucking good.

Zero doesn’t exist in base 9.

You don’t understand bases without placeholders.

You’re writing gibberish.

I knew it!

What comes after the decimal point in base 9 for 1.?

I already told you.

It’s undefined.

You’re dividing by zero.

You still agree with this take observr?

:-k

:-k

I have come up with one objection.

In concept anything can be divided into 1/3 (not by 0.333…). Physical reality doesn’t allow anything physical to ever perfectly fit any concept model - regardless of base representation.

When Motor says you get 33.333…% - the error is merely in trying to use a base 10 (percentage) representation.

No! You can not cut 1.0 into 3 equal pieces in ANY base.

The numbers are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

There are no other numbers. EVERY other number is a decimal representation in some base.

If you think there is any other number than 0-9, please name it!

Dividing an item has nothing to do with numbers.

If you want to talk about it - you might use numbers - but that is only because you tried to talk about it in specific quantities - so you choose a base. If the base you chose to talk about the division doesn’t actually represent what the division really was - use a different base - a different language.

The item’s division doesn’t care how you try to describe it (unless you are a QM nutter).

Keeping in your alleged mind that math is a representation of reality, and not reality itself, it has already been shown to you that you can DESCRIBE the equal division of 1 pie into 3 equal pieces easily in Base 9.

And: the numbers in Base 9 are:

012345678

So you don’t have any other number besides 0-9. Got it!

So you are saying that I take a knife, cut the pie, and claim they are equal? That how it works in your world? You cut a pie into pieces, don’t tell me how many pieces, don’t tell me the size of the pieces, but claim they are equal.

So no numbers in your world, just pies, knives, and BS!

I specifically said that it is impossible that they are equal in real life.

You can “cut” a pie in exact halves ONLY in concept. And you can only cut a pie in 3rds ONLY in concept. But the difference is that if in halves - you can talk about it in base 10. If in 3rds - you can’t exactly describe the cut - but that doesn’t change the cut - only your ability to talk about it.

What is a half and a 3rd? You talking numbers now? I thought you said

Why are you talking about numbers now?

You have a pie, and a knife. Now how many pieces are there?

Because we are TALKING - not actually dividing anything. #-o

The problem is how you try to talk about things - and right now - talking is all we have.

I cut a pie with a knife. I am now communicating the details of the pieces using numbers. That ok with you? Do you have a better way to communicate the pieces without using numbers? Let’s here it!

If you cut it in 3rds - just don’t tell me that each 3rd is 33.333…% - else you lie.

:smiley:

But you just cut it. You said no numbers required, so in your world there is no “3rds” or 33.333…%

I say again, you said you don’t need numbers, so you have a pie and a knife. Now what is your claim, again?
