My theory is that finitist thought is more attractive to those with a computation background, since computers can only compute up to finite precision, and can only deal with a finite amount of objects, both in memory and in principle. As such, like the physicist or applied mathematician who sees mathematics as a mere language to describe the "real" reality, the computationally-minded person sees in mathematics their own philosophy. This is also the same reason why actual computer scientists are more likely to favour set-theory skepticism, and a denial of classical logic in favour of intuitionistic formulations of formal logic.

As such, since it is more likely that on the internet you will find "computationally-minded people" (whether they are legitimately involved with the theory or are just fanboys of a new edgy kind of mathematics), it is more likely that you will find a finitist than not.

True its a bad analog. I'm religious yet believe in finitism when it comes to math that produces real results. The issue here is that it's sorely implying "believing" infinite sets to work means is similar to "believing" religion to work, when in reality religion produces working results regardless if you "believe" while atheism aka lazy brainletism doesn't give enough shit to actually figure anything out towards the effect of either contradicting believe or supporting it.

Are you making fun of the finitists or actually believe this, thanks for proving my point exactly. You write down a bunch of nonsense to make it seem like you know shit, but you are really just a brainlet. Listen up, heres the key:

0.999... represents the number after "finishing" the sum 0.9+0.09+0.009... (and we can find a scheme for computing this in finite time, though this is not the point: first sum 0.9+0.09 in 1/2 second, then add on 0.009 in the next quarter, then add on 0.0009 in the next eigth etc.).

0.999...9 is always less than 1 if there are a finite amount of 9s but thats not what .999... denotes, it denotes the number that is the limit of that sum, which is 1.

Trying to make sense of the gibberish that is written about 0.999... in different bases:

First note that 0.0...1 is not a thing (unless we are talking about surreals but your brainlet doesn't understand what those are, even then no one defines it as 0.0...1).

While any 2 different bases converge at different "speeds" to 1, that does not mean they can't converge to the same thing, your argument can be used to show that the sequence 1,1,1,1,.. and 3,2,1,1,1,1,... don't converge to the same thing (which is absurd because they both converge to 1 because they both are 1).

As for the other lines of mess, I have no idea what they are supposed to mean.

0.80001 is smaller still
0.800001 is even smaller
0.8000001 is there a pattern here?
cause to me it looks like
[math]0.8\bar{0}1[/math] would be the smallest number bigger than 0.8 and less than 0.81, but i guess notation of a significand after the repetition isn't allowed?
so how would it be possible to know that [math]0.\bar{9}[/math] should equal 1? rather, why should it equal 1 in all circumstances, when it is just as easy to say it doesn't even exist at all?

That is true, and when I first was writing my post I was going to mention this but I forgot. I would say that this is not a true handling of the infinite, it is analogous to the finitist in mathematics, using algebra to conceal infinite objects. For instance, considering the ring Q[sqrt(2)], which can be described in a purely finitist framework, despite what it "really involving" an infinitely precise notion of the "square root of 2", in this way, it is like lazy evaluation.

But all humans do with maths is find finite ways of dealing with the infinite. That's why we use things like limits. I don't see what you want from a "true handling of the infinite" unless you're arguing that it is never really possible.

In the same way a finite human is able to reason about non-finite things such as "the set of natural numbers satisfying predicate p", finite computers can be used to reason about non-finite things. There's nothing we can do with maths that couldn't (theoretically) be done on a computer.

Pretty funny to use Q as your example field since I don't think ultra finitists would believe in it.

finity works better with real world measurements where precision is arbitrarily limited by the tools at hand.

The easiest way to prove that 0.(9) = 1 is to use base 3 you brainlets. In fact the method is pretty general, in that for any rational number with an infinite periodic representation in base x there exists base y in which its representation is finite.

For every N modulo 3 limit to infinity, 1/3 in that baseN × 3 easily equates to 1.0.
In base3, 1/3 = 0.1
0.1 + 0.1 = 0.2
0.2 + 0.1 = 1.0

[math]0.\bar{9}[/math] is not a number in base 10, and truthfully [math]0.\overline{N}_{base(N+1)}[/math] is not a valid number in any base. Brainlets think [math]0.\bar{9}[/math] must exist though because [math]0.\bar{3} × 3[/math] seems to evaluate to it, but only cause brainlets dont understand that a number [math]\bar{N}[/math] is not related to a number [math]N[/math].
They incorrectly evaluate [math]0.\bar{3} × 3 = 0.\bar{9}[/math] cause they treat [math]\bar{3}[/math] to mean the same as 3, but with using that logic [math]0.\bar{3} × 4 = 1.\bar{3}2[/math], which having used the same exact logic to get [math]0.\bar{9}[/math], now returns the incorrect answer.

Nah.
A) Most programmers don't know or care much about hardware issues like that. A minority are deeply familiar with both, but everyone else is either hardware or software, and software people are all about abstraction free from physical concerns.
B) Object oriented programming is literally applied Platonism e.g. you instantiate objects that participate in abstract blueprint classes.
C) The limiting factors you brought up aren't unique to computers, they apply to everything else too e.g. human thinking isn't any less limited than artificial computation, both are classically physical cause and effect based functional processes.
So if anything, I would bet the average programmer is way more sympathetic to a framework that uses infinities than one which tries to avoid them.

Well we have developed an axiomatic system that works and have proven its validity, and the fact that 0.999... = 1 many different ways. The fact that you don't understand why the proof works is your problem, not mine.

If you wat to invent a "finitist axiomatic system" where 0.999... is not 1 go ahead, people like NJ Wildberger are trying to do that but it's not complex enough for any use to come from it. With finitism, we cannot do any sort of physics or even just prove interesting theorems (that are provable otherwise).

The correct side of the arguments has many many proofs, which is why most people know a name like Einstein but not Wildberger. You come in here with your brainlet shit and try to say all of math is wrong, well why don't you have a proof?

And I mean a real proof, not the kind of B.S. that I previously invalidated like

It really isn't a number and any other problem that might seem to result [math]0.\bar{9}[/math] actually just returns [math]1.0[/math] where [math]0.\bar{9}[/math] is actually the objectively wrong result earned by misinterpreting the question.

Thats just it though.
[math]0.\bar{9} = /sum_{n=1}{\infty} \stackrel{+}{=} \frac{9}{10^n}[/math]
9/9 = 3/3 = 1.0
[math]0.\bar{8} + 0.\bar{1} = 1.0[/math]
the problem of thinking it exists betond that sum is based on misinterpretation of numbers and thinking [math]0.\bar{9}[/math] occurs more often than it actually does.
For example, [math]0.\bar{3} × 3 = 0.\bar{9}[/math] is a wrong answer, because it misinterprets what [math]\bar{3}[/math] is and the misinterpretations stems from the fact it looks like a normal 3.
If the above solution is supposed to be valid, the same logic applied to the problems and answers of [math]0.\bar{3} × 4 = 1.\bar{2}[/math] or [math]0.\bar{33} × 4 = 1.\bar{3}2[/math] would also be considered valid, even though these answers are plainly wrong. In all three examples, the repeating 3 is treated as a substitute for 3 and presumptiously contatenated. In the old days before anyone knew better, they'd do 1/3 × 3 = 0.999... and think "this makes sense" even though they already know deep down that three thirds is nothing but 1 whole, and I don't think these dingdongs really understood the ramifications of infinite repetition so they just let this shit slide.

>> No.9397813

But the sum exists, it is convergent, and basic grade 10 textbook will tell you how to sum geometric series like this. 0.9... is defined as the given sum, which when evaluated is equal to 1. So we agree?

Using stuff like 0.3...*4 = 1.2.... is clearly incorrect, rather it should be computed as the sum of 0.3...*4 = $\frac{4*3}{10^n}$ which is 4/3

What is this convergance bullshit we aren't rounding this isnt fuckin 5th grade.

[math]0.\bar{9}[/math] doesn't converge to 1, it converges to even more 9's. The fact 9 is a maximal integer is completely regardless to the fact [math]\bar{N}[/math] is not related to [math]N[/math]
if [math]\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} 0.9 \stackrel{+}{=} \frac{9}{10^{n}} = 0.\bar{9}[/math]
then [math]\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} 0.1 \stackrel{-}{=} \frac{9}{10^{n}} = 0.\bar{0}1[/math]
We cleary have all the information we need from various proofs and tests and all we need to do is consolidate them instead of continuing to pretend [math]0.\bar{9} = 1[/math]

As much as infinity is actually an abstract concept that mathematicians pretend to fully understand, they should also understand that there are different number bases like hexidecimal and that [math]0.F _{16} = 0.9375_{10} > 0.9_{10}[/math] where that every step of
[math]\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \big( 0.9_{10} \stackrel{+}{=} \frac{9}{10^{n}} \big) < \big( 0.F_{16} \stackrel{+}{=} \frac{F}{10^{n}} \big) [/math]
proves there are numbers greater than [math]0.\bar{9}[/math]
and dont be retarded with
>i-if you mark on a number line every 9th, you'll eventually run out of room and just mark 1.0
cause if you try to do the same with [math]0.\bar{1}[/math] you'll eventually make it to 2.0 of you're that retarded, or dumb enough to say [math]0.\bar{1} = 0.12[/math]

It also initially reached it at 7 decimals since that is the accuracy of a [math]float[/math] in computers. To get 57 decimals would be a [math]long long long double[/math], so in any case even though wolfram can work with big numbers, there is still a definite upper limit, and of course the simulation of infinite limits is merely face value.

It seems to have arbitrary precision but with some extra rules. It likes turning repeating 0.9's into 1 after it's reached some kind of limit of 9's, so depending on how you're trying to get the answer it will take fewer or greater steps to reach that limit. Here for [math]\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{2^n} it takes 191 steps to reach a decimal accuracy that fills its limit registers with 9's to figure it wants to show 1.0, but if you click on more digits the result will change back to a 0.9999999 number so even here this show and hide more digits button bares computational accuracy on the answer even already bouunded by the rule's its trying to abide by.

See the thing about using real numbers is that they work. Physics works, biology works, space stations work and the computers that you use work, to allow to post dumb shit about how real numbers don't work.

If you guys want to say that real numbers don't exist and there are no numbers bigger than 100, fine. But early on people realized there is use in defining things like "reals, convergence, imaginaries" because it allows to do stuff that we couldn't without them like calculus which is used everywhere today. And this led to what are known as geometric series, as in, $\sum {\frac{9}{10^n}}$, which can be evaluated with this new, interesting, mathematical framework (outside of just naturals) to 1. As a shorthand we sometimes use 0.999... to denote this sum.

Sometimes people who don't understand the more advanced math system think that 0.999... is like a process of adding on the digit 9 to the decimal number 0.9 and can never be really completed. This leads them to the incorrect conclusion that 0.999... isn't 1.

I recommend that such people either take a basic calculus course in highschool or take a basic real analysis course in university.

It was merely to demonstrate where N<n, you get 1.0 as a result. So receiving 1.0 as a result under any circumstance, the background precision will be less than the amount of digits, the equivalent of concatenating. The arguement is wolfram cannot be used to evaluate infinite sums because it's going to end up using its own precision override if set to infinite precision.

this summation towards 0.888... randomly just puts a 9 as the last digit even though the last operation to get that last digit is still the same operation that got all the preceeding 8's. It's like wolfram is not-so-sneakily adding an infinitisemal of rounding up the last digit. It does this for 5,6,7,8 and 9, but not for 1,2,3 or 4, and since 5 is usually the cutoff point for rounding up then its pretty clear what is going on here.

You know infinite sums are proved and not assumed, right?

You can prove the result of the sum through induction in terms of n { f(n) }. Once you have f(n), then in this case you can find the limit using epsilon-delta definition. This is another proof.

I set the limit to 9999 here cause it wont evaluate with infinity. I test j=k at every iteration and it returns false for every iteration, that the value of J at n is not the value of K at n. I imagine setting it to infinity is breaking it because it's trying to say [math]\infty false + 1 true[/math], or just cause its a boolean evaluation problem rather than a numbers problem where fudging and rounding can surpass infinity so it would instead attempt to perform actual work on each n which it's totally not going to do given it would be infinite work and take infinite time.

And 17/18 + 17/18^2 + 17/18^-3... would be greater than 16/17 + 16/17^2 + 16/17^-3...
...
Then (ω-1)/ω + (ω-1)/ω^2 + (ω-1)/ω^3... would be greater than all preceding finite denominator fraction sums.
What would be the difference between 1 and (ω-1)/ω + (ω-1)/ω^2 + (ω-1)/ω^3... ?

These numbers actually do equal something else naturally though, and that is as a fraction over 9.

It makes sense that [math]0.\bar{9}[/math] wouldn't exist here cause while [math]\frac{8}{9} = 0.\bar{8}, \frac{9}{9} =
\frac{3}{3} = \frac{1}{1} [/math] simply just equals 1.

I don't believe it would.
I explicitly said *for the sake of argument* it would be greater following the idea that infinite sums of increasingly larger numerators and denominators would somehow be progressively larger values distinct from 1.
e.g. anon's alleged assertion of 15/16 + 15/16^2 + 15/16^-3... being greater than 9/10 + 9/10^2 + 9/10^-3...

>> No.9399857

>>9399840
>>9399853
Also they're not infinitesimals (1/infinity would be an infinitesimal), they're the sum of infinity minus one over infinity with the denominator raised by increasingly large negative exponents i.e. the logical conclusion to anon's distinction between 15/16 + 15/16^2 + 15/16^-3... and 9/10 + 9/10^2 + 9/10^-3...

I'm not sure how you don't see that [math]0.\bar{9}[/math] is the objectively wrong answer.

Maybe your problem is that you're not calculating with intermantissa, or rather not calculating with the understanding that a repeating number [math]\bar{N}[/math] does not abide by arithmetic in the same way as normal number [math]N[/math]; not understanding that [math]\bar{N} \neq N[/math]

The Chinese Room is a shit thought experiment to begin with, it just exploits the understandable sense of difference you'd have when comparing a normal brain going through 100 billion operations per second with a room that would need to be the size of a galaxy and have millions of years time available to answer 1 simple question.
When you warp a situation's physical size and duration to that extreme a degree of course it will seem intuitively unequivalent. Churchland's counterargument addresses this point:
>Consider a dark room containing a man holding a bar magnet or charged object. If the man pumps the magnet up and down, then, according to Maxwell's theory of artificial luminance (AL), it will initiate a spreading circle of electromagnetic waves and will thus be luminous. But as all of us who have toyed with magnets or charged balls well know, their forces (or any other forces for that matter), even when set in motion produce no luminance at all. It is inconceivable that you might constitute real luminance just by moving forces around!" The problem is that he would have to wave the magnet up and down something like 450 trillion times per second in order to see anything.
Making a vague distinction between "understanding" vs. "just producing outputs" is ironically itself a lazy and not very thoughtful way of conceptualizing what understanding is. If you actually try to approach in specifics how understanding works you will end up breaking it apart into smaller non-understanding components of input and output.

Thank for reminding me to continue developing the document for intermantissa and i explained it in another thread, 0 and 9 would retain overline representation but referred to as inter-zero and inter-nine adopting the same inter-prefix as the actual inter-numbers.

0 and 9 actually occupy the same singular spot on the intermantissa line, which i realize the first document does not show. This visual attribution would encourage students counting on the line to treat 9 in a sensible way that leads to the correct result for multiplication and non-zero addition in the least, but looking at this specific problem and using addition requires some continued developmental effort.
From right to left, evaluating inter-nine plus inter-zero would want to turn into 10 as the upper dominant of the two
0.09090[9]... = 10, carry the one
0.90909[0]...

0.0909[1]
0.9090[9] evaluates 10, carry the 1

0.090[9] evaluates 10, carry the 1
0.909[0]
...
1.0

counting from 0 to 9 on the IM line counts to "0" and considers that a loop, or otherwise knowing the 9th symbol on the intermantissa line is "0", where the roll over acts as the same as counting past 9 on the normal number line to get "10", except with inter-numbers there are only 8 numbers, so passing inter-8 rolls up to 0.

That's the point. When you warp the scale of processes you get results which don't seem the same, which is why it's not a good argument to warp the scale of processes and then point to how they seem different.

Im not sure that question has relevance.
Like asking what is the next biggest number after [math]0.\bar{1}[/math] is. If you're providing it as an argument against the specific proof that a larger base will always have a larger number between the previous base's maximal repeating decimal and 1, you still haven't reached base infinity, and base [math]0.\bar{\infty}_{base\infty} = 1[/math] looks slightly too tarded for me to trust from multiple angles.

What's x?
I'm pretty sure x has to be 0. Otherwise you run into the problem of finding a nonzero number x which when added 0.999... gets you 0.FFF...
It can't be 0.666... because 0.999... + 0.666... is clearly greater than 1, and 0.FFF... is clearly not greater than 1.

What natural basis is there for assuming the existence of finite numbers though? A priori I don't see how we can count without some sizable number of abstractions. I'm sure experts in this area have done it properly, but spitting out some bs on 4chan it seems like you need some sort of category (the concept of the thing), a function mapping every subset of reality to {is the thing, isn't the thing}, and then youre just looking at properties of abstract sets anyway.
