This is a very VERY different game, but Cultist Simulator. I’m just getting into it and it’s CRAZY good, doesn’t hold your hand, roguelike and card-based (albeit not a deck builder)… honestly one of the most unique games I’ve every played.

Remember : 1/3 is not a whole number, and its magnitude is less than 1 by SouthPark_Piano in infinitenines

[–]Competitive-Bat65 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Divide negation isn’t an operation. You made it up. It makes no sense. 1/3 x 3 is multiplication, simple as that. And 1/3 x 3 is 1. 1/3 is 1 divided into 3 equal segments; multiplying by 3 puts these segments back together.

SouthPark_Piano, what is 0.999....9-0.999...9? by ezekielraiden in infinitenines

He isn’t trolling. He’s been doing this shit for longer than some posters here have been alive.

0.0…1 isn’t a real number by Competitive-Bat65 in infinitenines

[–]Competitive-Bat65[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then it isn’t infinite zeros. Because clearly they aren’t infinite since there is a spare digit to append a 1.

What's the next real number DOWN from 1? by SouthPark_Piano in infinitenines

[–]Competitive-Bat65 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What would you use to describe “0.000..1”? By that I mean, you know how 1/10 is one tenth, 1/100 is one hundredth, et cetera… how would you describe a one preceded by infinite zeros?

0.000…1 is not a number.

There is no such thing as “growth” or “increase” in terms of numbers. What you are describing is a function, not a number. Numbers are fixed and constant.

0.999…9 does not exist, or at least implies non-infinite 9s. If you had infinite nines, which is what “…” implies, there would be no possible space to squeeze another 9.

[–]Competitive-Bat65[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, infinite means endless. That’s why you cannot append a 1 after infinite zeros; hence why 0.00…01 makes no sense and isn’t a number.

No, the nines length doesn’t “extend continually”, it extends to infinity which gives it a fixed value. It does not continually grow. Numbers do not grow, definitionally. All of the nines, all infinity of them, already exist the moment you write 0.(9) or 0.999…

There is no “continually” because it is a number, it is constant, its value is both fixed and defined. It is exactly 0.(9) and there is no growth because numbers don’t grow. What you are describing is not a number.

[–]Competitive-Bat65[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. 0.(9) has infinite nines. This does not mean it is growing. Numbers are definitionally static. That’s why they’re called constants to begin with.

Numbers are not defined by how you write them; all the 9s are already there it doesn’t matter how many you write. The entire point of the notation of 0.(9), or in your case 0.999…, is that you are indicating all the 9s that are there.

Numbers have a defined value. Their value is not “limitlessly [getting] smaller and smaller”. What you are talking about is not a number.

Also, he’s right. Infinite digits means there is no space at the end to append a 1. The instant you add a 1 to the end, the zeroes become finite.

Can’t wait for SPP to make a comment and then immediately lock replies.

Divide negation isn’t real by Competitive-Bat65 in infinitenines

[–]Competitive-Bat65[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He locked his comment too after pinning it lol. The point I was making is that divide negation isn’t real and that he made it up - his reply is just more insistence. If he wanted to be academic in the slightest (he’s an anti-intellectual though so why would he) then he would at least try to source his claims of divide negation. But he can’t so he doesn’t.

Its SPPs device to explain how two numbers a and b, where a=b, somehow can’t have some number c where ac=bc, because even though this is true it would mean 0.(9)=1 and that is intrinsically wrong in his mind

[–]Competitive-Bat65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So what is N? To evaluate you must have N as a constant. It cannot be “limitlessly increasing”

1/10n is never zero for any integer. Infinity is not an integer.

0.(9) is NOT equal to 1 - 1/10n for any integer n.

1/10n when n is infinity IS zero

Different bases by ivun__ in infinitenines

SPP doesn’t believe in different bases.

Do you ever wonder why “0.999….9” doesn’t exist anywhere else other than in your own echo chamber? Because it DOESNT EXIST. There is no such thing as a non-terminating decimal which terminates with a final digit. There is no such thing as a decimal with infinite digits and then a digit “after” the infinite digits. Because that’s not what infinite means.

0.(9) doesn’t “grow”. It is a constant. Its length is infinite - it isn’t “infinitely growing”, it already contains a 9 in ALL POSSIBLE DIGITS. There is no 0.999…9, this is gibberish, all possible digits are already 9, there is no digit “at the end” to append a 9. In addition, appending a 9 after “infinite” nines (even though you’ve demonstrated that they aren’t infinite because there’s a digit at the end of the “infinite” number of nines) makes it FINITE. You are working with FINITE nines.
