While it was probably not the best use of our time, it certainly made me think about relations and algebra in more interesting ways than the last uni course did.

But I am not taking about an amount of different things, but a parallel or branching number line being part of the set of natural numbers.
I am not talking about modular arithmetic on its own, but as part of the set of natural numbers.Under the missing axioms those constructs would be part of the natural numbers, including an
xin N such thats(x)=xand thereforex+1=x. While some might think this implies0=1, it doesn’t, because we don’t have the axiom of induction, an thus can’t provea+c=b+c => a=b.The usefulness of such a system questionable but it certainly doesn’t describe the natural numbers as we understand them.

There are also an infinite number of rationale between two integers, but the rationals are still countable and therefore have the same cardinality as the naturals and integers.

I know how how natural numbers work, but the axioms in the comment i replied to are not enough to define them.
Not sure what you mean by ‘loops’
There could be a number n such that
m=s(n)andn=s(m). This would be precluded by taking the axiom of induction or the trichotomy axiom.If we only take the latter we can still make a second number line, that runs “parallel” to the “propper number line” like:
n,s(n),s(s(n)),s(s(s(n))),... 0,s(0),s(s(0)),s(s(s(0))),...
there are no natural numbers that are negative
I know, but the given axioms don’t preclude it. Under the peano axioms it’s explicitly spelled out:
0 is not the successor of any natural number - Comment on In this essay... 4 days ago:
That axiomisation is incomplete as it doesn’t preclude stuff like loops, a predecessor to zero or a second number line.
- Comment on Why does information want to be free 5 days ago:
Hoarding information is like hoarding any other resources.
Information is unlike any other resource, it can be shared without taking away from the giver.
Hording it is not about protection what you have, it’s about intentionally depriving others with no benefit to your self other than keeping up a power imbalance. - Comment on Can you think of any now? 1 week ago:

I know, but otherwise there is no use for the knowledge that we live in a simulation. Unless someone can contact the outside of course.
- Comment on IF YOU TAKE ENOUGH YOU CAN SEE *THE PATTERN* BRO 2 weeks ago:
The only thing one could do with knowledge of being in a simulation, is trying to find bugs and exploits.
From now on, I expect anyone claiming we live in a simulation to have a working perpetual motion device, faster that light communication, or something similarly impressive. If they don’t, their claim is meaningless. - Comment on The McDonald's employee who called on Luigi has never received their "reward", folks chasing the 100k for Kirk may not either... 3 weeks ago:
I’m sorry I don’t know all the arcane incantations of your court system of the top of my head.

What would the defense say? “That wasn’t him, just someone who looks similar.”
They already claim that by pleading innocent at the start. - Comment on The Nutty Putty Cave System 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on There's an FPGA handheld that looks perfect for playing GBA, but it's still in the crowdfunding phase 3 weeks ago:
A computer/microcontroller can read physical cards just as well and if the specs of the hardware are well known enough for someone to write vhdl/verilog, they can also write c/rust.
If someone offered you a molecularly identical beer, would you complain that it’s not the original. - Comment on There's an FPGA handheld that looks perfect for playing GBA, but it's still in the crowdfunding phase 3 weeks ago:
If the outcome is the exact same, who cares?
This is like golden audio cables but for retro gamers. - Comment on There's an FPGA handheld that looks perfect for playing GBA, but it's still in the crowdfunding phase 3 weeks ago:
Why use a FPGA? For the price of the chip (113€) you could get an entire SBC that has more storage, voltage regulation and protection, 3.3V or 5V IO and linux.

If an animal gets shot with lead, survives and runs away, there is now a wounded animal or an animal carcass containing lead somewhere in the wild.
If it is wounded or freshly dead a carnivore will eat it and accumulate lead. That may be large carnivore or a smaller carnivore that later gets eaten by a bigger one. Birds tend to have stronger stomach acid that most mammals, allowing them to dissolve the lead better.
Vultures having it the worst as they will eat any carcass and have the strongest acid. - Comment on Who is the enemy? 5 weeks ago:

Yes, for mild winters and plentiful harvests
Bastards, we need harsher winters over here. Otherwise the moskitos and invasive species get even more numerous.

Because the tree would need to grow 100x as big. People often forget, that the carbon needs to go somewhere and in a tree that is mostly the wood.
A fully grown forest is just full and can’t take up more CO2 unless you take some wood out. That wood need to be used in construction or turned into charcoal and buried to make sure it can’t be turned back into CO2 by rotting. - Comment on GET BOMBADEERED, IDIOT 2 months ago:

You just have to make sure to terminate the line with two spaces. Unless you have a different markdown renderer than the web interface and most apps.Or does line break mean empty lines to you?
