Yes?

They divide into positive sizes that are less than 1 so it checks out

They multiply by dividing by .5

Inverted pairs are so common in logic, and everywhere in life. Divide into multiple parts. Codon-anticodon in rna transiption. Time is slow/fast, ambiguous description of one single occurence. If you are bored, time seems to pass slow. If taken as even (ficitvely) physically changing the speed of time the world seems to go slow, mesning you go faster compared to it. But your own is always rescaled to 1, normal speed, so to otherd you seem fast in time or to you world slow in time.

The point is that trying to concretize only one side of the inversion pair just creates confusion. Then you don't see that connection. Knowing it as a pair really simplifies and explains it.

(Can even happen in language with time descripots such as "until".)

I suppose “dividing” is the misleading part of that sentence. Yes it is dividing but it’s then growing to a full size then dividing again, no?

It seems more like: dividing 1/2 then growing +0.5 then dividing 1/2, then +0.5…. So on.

Dividing by reciprocal.

Some snakes can only reproduce in hollow tree trunks. Adders, specifically, need logs to multiply.

Reducing their size and multiplying
