In summary, The conversation is discussing the concept of an expansion info-representation, where underscores represent placeholders for digit selection and the decimal can be adjusted or fixed for experimental purposes. The person posting the conversation is interested in using this IR for their experiments and the other person suggests looking into the p-adic number system for further investigation.

The following is what I call an expansion info-representation:

... _ _ _ _ _4.3 _ _ _ _ _ ...

A) Each of the underscores represent placeholders for digit selection. (Psst: a whim)
B) The decimal can be arbitrarily adjustable or fixed for the purpose of experiment.

I'm going to try devekoping a few experiments that use this IR. ω

What is your purpose in posting this? Do you have a question?
 
  • #3
Are you trying to investigate an arithmetic for decimal (or other base) expansions where non-zero digits may extend infinitely to the left of the decimal point as well as infinitely to the right?

If so, google for the p-adic number system.
 

What is "Expansion Info-Representation With Arbitrarily Adjustable Decimals"?

"Expansion Info-Representation With Arbitrarily Adjustable Decimals" is a scientific concept that involves representing numerical data with a varying number of decimal places, allowing for greater precision and flexibility in calculations.

Why is "Expansion Info-Representation With Arbitrarily Adjustable Decimals" important?

This concept is important because it allows for more accurate and precise calculations, particularly in fields such as science, engineering, and finance where small differences can have significant impacts.

How does "Expansion Info-Representation With Arbitrarily Adjustable Decimals" work?

The concept works by allowing for a variable number of decimal places in numerical data, instead of the traditional fixed decimal format. This allows for a greater range of values to be represented and calculated with more precision.

What are the benefits of using "Expansion Info-Representation With Arbitrarily Adjustable Decimals"?

The benefits of using this concept include increased accuracy and flexibility in calculations, as well as the ability to represent a wider range of values without losing precision. It also allows for easier comparison and manipulation of numerical data.

Can "Expansion Info-Representation With Arbitrarily Adjustable Decimals" be applied to all types of data?

Yes, this concept can be applied to any type of numerical data, including real numbers, integers, and fractions. It is a universal concept that can be used in various fields and applications.
