rufus mosley Posted Friday at 10:37 PM Posted Friday at 10:37 PM Studying some Pythagorean arithmetic which involves number theory and it is sort of philosophical. Mathematical Philosophy? https://g.co/gemini/share/89831d1e48d6 This is what I have done so far.

How long do you need to change the rules? I can come back next year. And I expect that people will be qualified for my discussions by doing the background reading. It should only take them a year to read through the work I have done. Edited Friday at 11:33 PM by rufus mosley -2

In almost any science forum it's basic courtesy to post at least an abstract. You must be new to these types of forums to imagine it would be otherwise. A couple paragraphs might suffice, and allow members to decide if they want to pursue it. However if it's very high level, as you say, then math.stackexchange.com would probably be a better venue for you.
rufus mosley Posted Saturday at 02:10 AM Author Posted Saturday at 02:10 AM (edited) I suggest that any interested parties should first read Introduction to Arithmetic by Nicomachus, or read it while you are reading this discussion. Some of you may be familiar with this arithmetic. This is a whole number theory in which no lesser number may be divided by a greater number. A consequence is that 1 is indivisible. If we do divide 1, it will be for only limited purposes. Our approach is to begin with the multiplication table using the vocabulary of ancient Pythagorean arithmetic. We are learning how to read this simple diagram in a new (ancient and unfamiliar) vocabulary. Participants may want to review the vocabulary we are developing in the chat. All of the vocabulary will be supplemented with a more modern translation, so do not fear the strange language that we will use. The main purpose in the chat is to read harmonic intervals in the table. It appears that we may end up with a 3 dimensional table or cube shaped table in order to understand harmonics. There will be many references to music theory from different periods. We are also discussing the development of a calculator that produces tones from the numbers inputted. So if you know music theory, physics of sound, math, philosophy and digital technology, this is going to be a mixed bag of all that. Edited Saturday at 02:45 AM by rufus mosley

The rules are there for a good reason. It is you that has to adapt here. If this is "chat" from a chatbot, it will be ballocks and not worth anybody wasting their time on.

What do you expect "change the rules" to mean in practical terms? Nobody is going to click on your link. If you want there to be any discussion, it is up to you to post something to discuss on this forum. Otherwise, it is no skin off our noses if there is no discussion because you didn't post anything to discuss.
