    What if 0 is just a concept with no actual real-world counterpart?

    Actually, that was the problem. If you read further, then you'll see that I introduced that problem in order to propose the very solution you just described. XD But what I'm saying is that in my system, 0 doesn't necessarily equal 1, because that is a statement that was derived from my system...

    What if 0 is just a concept with no actual real-world counterpart?

    Wow. Yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe every quantity that exists is some number of infinitesimals between two irrational quantities; maybe nothing is actually some exact number of anythings except exactly what it is, of which it is obviously 1 due to the property of all non-fallacious numerical...

    For species, does A=B and B=C imply A=C? I think not.

    Suppose there is a civilization of intelligent beings in a world almost exactly like our own. Despite the intelligence of these beings, there are some areas of their brain that are unintelligent, and thus all members of the civilization are constantly being told by their brains to uncontrollably...

    What if 0 is just a concept with no actual real-world counterpart?

    Have you ever noticed that when you get 0 involved in even the simplest multiplicative operations, it manages to screw them up? For instance, take the functions f(x)=1/x and g(x)=xx. As for f(x)=1/x, f(0)=1/0, an expression that, from one side of the equation's graph, appears to represent...
