Edgard Neuman Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Hi, This post is about suggesting a (maybe new ?) kind of maths with a different start for integers to your appreciation (that's why I put it speculations) The idea is to modify Peano, to create a set, with a start and a end, (no, it's not really modular arithmetic with unknown modulus) So we create two extremum : 0 at left, inf at right the function succ(x) exist y=succ(x) for x != inf the function prec(x) exist y=prec(x) for x != 0 We have addition etc, subtraction multiplication etc. all within the limit for "succ" that imply that operations are have no solutions close to inf every relation between elements have a "anti" counterpart, using the function y= inf -x so we have anti multiplication, anti addition etc: x '* y = inf - ((inf-x) * (inf - y)) x '+ y = inf - ((inf-x) + (inf - y)) = x+ y - inf 0 is a multiple of any x (and anti-multiple) inf is a multiple of any x (and anti-multiple) etc etc And then we can extend numbers on both side : negative numbers as solutions for 0 - x on the left some other numbers as solutions for inf + x on the right we have "antiprimes" ( { inf - primes } ) ... antifractions etc such a symmetrical axiomatic has to be useful in some ways.. ?
