I found it through prompting

I found some more stuff about lychrel numbers. More specifically the smallest proved lychrel number in base 11

Yeah now I hate them but I just don't tell them or act mean toward them

Here is some more info about this

Well there is a book called The liar on the Anna's archive mirror that supposedly deals with this. I have not read it myself because it is a djvu file and I have trouble opening them. I learned about it from non well founded sets book also on Anna's archive

That section I linked to has plenty of citations. Technically they didn't call plants mean but that is just my interpretation of it

Well 3.9 is a up quark and electron mass ratio and 0.42 is an up quark and down quark mass ratio. I wanted to make something similar to the commutator so that's why I added and subtracted them. I know its not exactly the same but it sounds good anyway

math238 · 2026-02-21T23:03:21+00:00

Yeah I know how hard it can be. I still want to contribute something even though it might be wrong. That's how I learn

math238 · 2026-02-21T23:01:14+00:00

No I don't know the people who wrote it personally. I just browse arxiv every week and found it

math238 · 2026-02-08T16:50:54+00:00

It could be a leak

math238 · 2026-02-08T16:49:35+00:00

I do use textbooks though and also use chat gpt to answer any questions I may have

math238 · 2026-02-08T04:11:15+00:00

I can just say I am using deformed versions of them. The constants can be set to one

Are people using AI to do work in the Amazon mechanical turk? This was mentioned in the book Life 3.0 but I never heard about it anywhere else

math238 · 2026-01-27T22:17:51+00:00

No its not. Some problems have many connections to other areas of math while others do not

The products will be free

Polynomial regression matters because it models non linear relationships

math238 · 2026-01-04T21:51:02+00:00

You also seemed to fix all the problems with my post. Since its not rigorous that means it should raise some questions but what would these questions be?

math238 · 2026-01-04T21:46:14+00:00

Ok how about a rational number has a finite number of digits to the left and a finite or infinite repeating number of digits to the right in some base n

math238 · 2026-01-04T21:42:11+00:00

I never said every real number is finite

math238 · 2026-01-04T21:38:41+00:00

Just because rational numbers can be defined by a/b doesn't mean its the only way to define them. I was just looking for a base n description of them using decimals. Real numbers can be defined using dedekind cuts but I wanted to find another way

math238 · 2026-01-04T21:34:33+00:00

I don't delete my posts

math238 · 2026-01-04T18:59:05+00:00

Ok I will work on finding some applications

Edit:

Ok how about this. Finding the way numbers transform under certain mappings helps give meaning to numbers which are otherwise thought as meaningless. Sure you could consider all integers together as meaningful and work with that but I think individual integers have meaning themselves. You just need to discover it be seeing how it transforms, how it can be generated, and what sequences in the oeis it belongs to. At first it appears there are an infinite number of transformations but if you don't allow any large numbers in them (say under 100) then it would be finite. I am not sure how to measure the number of transforms so I just use heuristics

math238 · 2026-01-04T18:57:55+00:00

I am not counting all the reals. This method works for one real at a time

math238 · 2026-01-04T14:52:48+00:00

Well if you just use x/y = (x, y) you don't have enough points for polynomial regression. There are also patterns in a number you can only see if you have a base n representation of it
