Is 1 = 0.999... ? Really?

It’s part of your argument that infinite sequences are both finite and infinite sequences.

That in turn is part of your argument that infinite sequences are algorithms.

That in turn is part of your argument that the word “infinity” refers to a never-ending processes of increase.

That in turn is part of your argument that infinities do not come in sizes.

Not true.

This part is transitive:

1/9 implies 0.111…

0.111… implies 1/9

If they both imply each other, they are equalities.

I have no idea what that means.

And that’s why this debate is over. Because you don’t understand, really, much of anything said here!

But let me be kind to you for a moment!

2+3=5
3+2=5

That means 2 and 3 are transitive: they mean the same thing!

I’ve seen you write a bunch of fancy symbols, but you don’t even understand kindergarten math!

That’s why we are butting heads here!

This isn’t supposed to be a contest of beliefs but a cooperative effort to resolve disagreements. (But then again, this is a forum, so pretty much everything anyone does here is some sort of competition where people try to prove themselves to be the smartest guy in the room.)

What do you mean by “transitive”?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitive_relation

Either way, it’s definitely not true that (2) and (3) mean the same thing.

Magnus,

I have to admit, at this point, I enjoy teaching you because you don’t quit!

Transitive (strictly speaking) (as an example)

Is:

ab = ba

I gave you a more advanced version in the last post; what I should have said is that:

2+3 = 3+2

3+2 = 2+3

Etc…

When you introduce a new variable (such as “5”) (c) it becomes a different term than purely transitive, Wikipedia is wrong.

That looks like commutativity.

Here it is:

And you are ignoring it (:

Oh man, that’s embarrassing for me.

You have to understand that I had brain damage (was in a coma for four hours) because of a head injury.

I went from being a super-genius to just your run of the mill genius.

Yes, your neurons were not misfiring on this!

It’s communicative!

You mean commutative (:

chuckles

You know Magnus,

Brain damage did not impair my logic, just my memory.

The link you just sent me implies that I’m not allowed to make ANY argument that shows FOR A FACT that infinite and finite behave differently (supposedly (according to you) by my own reasoning).

Your argument about me contradicting myself by having every boy step forward and still all be holding hands is a fantasy of yours! It violates YOUR reasoning! Not what I’ve presented in this thread.

You know why I know I’ll win this debate?

Because I know god doesn’t exist.

Let me put this to you a different way.

Wtf left the thread because “nobody understands cardinality”. It went over your head!

There is a highest order of cardinality that in laypersons terms means “the infinite cardinal”

This is a proof of god.

Cantor knew it to.

This is not just a simple thread/discussion about math.

Our every sentence in this thread is also about whether god exists or not!

Very high stakes for lots of people.

I am not sure I understand what you’re saying here.

How? What’s wrong with it? Which part do you disagree with?

That’s precisely what it is.

I made a claim earlier that infinite sequences are infinite sequences.

(You can find it here.)

You responded to it by saying:

Then, I asked you:

You ignored these questions.

So I’m going to ask you once again:

How can a belief be both true and false?

Isn’t that a logical contradiction?

Magnus man, you are so incredibly naive. It makes sense to me though that if you can’t understand the implication that:

0.111… = 1/9

And

1/9 = 0.111…

They imply EACH OTHER and because they imply each other, they are equalities!

That you’d have the inability to understand that this is an argument about god!?

You’re amazing at inequalities ! (That’s an insult)

You are not good at equalities! (That’s an insult)

What does it mean to say that (0.111\dotso) implies (\frac{1}{9})?

What I’m saying is that it’s true on the surface, but totally false!

Let me give you the example of why I was sent to hell, and then hell beyond hell:

My argument was simple:

If you make suicide and homicide as easy as you could possibly make it (set suicidal and homicidal tension to zero), that whatever survived, would have inherent purpose to live! That’s the solution to ethics!

The argument was flawless!

I was wrong!

The problem on a higher plane of existence with this argument is that you can’t destroy existence, this “flawless” argument only sends people to hell.

Your argument from your mind seems flawless to you, but it is false!

So you’re saying that the statement (“Infinite sequences are infinite sequences”) is false and that it only appears to be true?

And you’re also saying that some infinite sequences are finite and some are infinite?

Is that correct?
