I’ve improved arithmetic.
I’m sure everyone knows what an abacus looks like. Here’s a question for everyone: Show me where zero (0) is on an abacus. It isn’t there. And that’s exactly what I’m going to talk about: emptiness.
The main flaw in modern arithmetic is that it counts emptiness. So I fixed that. It’s very simple, based on how a computer works—or more precisely, a processor. For a processor, 0 or 1 isn’t emptiness; it’s a value. But emptiness is present; it’s NULL. And emptiness is present in life. One more example before I move on to my arithmetic. A little problem for Pinocchio, just slightly modified. Pinocchio had an apple on his plate. Pinocchio wasn’t greedy and gave the apple to Artemon. How many apples are left on Pinocchio’s plate? Everyone will say the answer is zero apples. But that’s not the correct answer. A void remains. Because one could answer that there are zero pears or something else left. This is the first flaw in modern arithmetic, which requires that we not divide by zero. The second flaw is that in decimal arithmetic, in the ones place, we can only count up to nine, but it should be up to ten.
Now I’m correcting traditional arithmetic with my own. So, for me, 0 is emptiness. And you can count up to ten objects by adding the “Ten” symbol. Of course, you could invent a new symbol, but it isn’t on the keyboard yet. So I chose the Latin “Ten”—X.
Let's start counting: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, X (or 10), 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 1X (that is, the word “Twenty,” or 20, where we carry the ten from the ones place to the tens place), 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 2X (that is, “Thirty,” or 30). The rest is clear. But in my arithmetic, there is a void or emptiness, which is 0, “Zero”. We do not perform any arithmetic operations with zero, it is only used as a statement. That is, it can be 0 (emptiness), or emptiness was filled with anything. Example: 1 - 1 = 0; we got emptiness X - 9 - 1 = 0; we got emptiness 0 + 1 = 1; we filled emptiness with a thing
A void can be present in both single-digit and multi-digit numbers. I’ve already shown a single-digit number. 1 - 1 = 0; Example of a multi-digit number: 25 - 5 = 20; 255 - 50 = 205; The void can be replaced with a value: 20 => 1X, meaning from the two tens, carry the one from the second digit to the first digit. The reverse operation is also possible: 1X => 20.
Thus, the error is corrected. Try multiplying or dividing in a column; it all works. Just remember, operations with 0 are not performed, because it is not the item for calculation. We can only make emptiness or fill emptiness.
