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 "
