SUMMARY

In Jeff Cook's number system, a number divided by zero can be defined through a function q(x), where the limit approaches zero as x approaches infinity. The initial value of this function is specified as q(2) (± pi) or q(2) (± log(-1)), with the consideration that epi equals -1. This theorem provides a framework for understanding division by zero in a mathematical context, challenging traditional interpretations.

X/0 can be defined...

Definitive Theorem:

A number divided by zero can be defined by extending it to a function q (x), whose limit is zero as it approaches infinity, whose first value is equal to q (2) (± pi) or q (2) (± log (-1)), considering epi = -1

This doesn't make sense to me are you defining x/0 to be a function q(x)? Can you explicity state what q(x) is or is it just any arbitrary function with a limit of 0 as x approaches infinity? I don't understand what you mean by "whose first value is equal to q (2) (± pi) or q (2) (± log (-1)), considering epi = -1 "
 
indeed 0/0 = 1. and the moon is made of green cheese. and 2 buck chuck is good cheap wine.
