You can ignore him anyway because this isn't how anything in mathematical logic works regardless, except as a shorthand.

Not believing in infinity doesn't necessitate believing in a highest number. If you add any number of rationals together you'll get another rational. There's no maximum number you can add after which this breaks down, and yet supposedly after infinite summations you can have an irrational number.

Of course you couldn't figure from the obvious that I meant your intepretation of infinity was what didn't matter.

Infinity isn't on the numberline. You can't increment to it. You can "use" it to say that one could count "infinitely" on the numberline, but you can't use it in lieu of a number. Now if you want to agree to that, you have to accept there is no infinite'th step in long division of 1/3 that would differ from comparison's sake to defy innumerably proveably true circumstances that denote no matter how many 3's exist in the decimal, [math]0.\bar{3} < \frac{1}{3}[/math], because there cannot actually exist an infinite amount of 3's, if not by loose definition then just because infinity is not a number and therefore cannot rationalize as an amount.

Its a description of present and ongoing action, it's not a description of past tense. You can (potentially) do something infinitely, like sum numbers. You can't have summed an infinite amount of numbers, however, for that implies an end occurred, and an end defines it as finite.

There is no such thing as an infinite amount of anything. Maybe such an idea exists conceptually, but it does not exist practically. And by conceptually, i mean very early stages of conception.

Anyway, infinity is not a number. It also has no value. Infinity can only be best described as a vector or a direction or a command to do more. There are other words and phrases that accomplish those concepts though, so infinity doesn't even have the kind of value in relation to a good enough reason for it to be used in vernacular.

It is a poorly crafted idea created by brainlets.

Gdajllllop exists. I just made it up. It's useful because it is the largest possible real number.
[math]\underline{\stackrel{\overline{\mathbb{R}}}{\rlap{\rlap{\rlap{1}{3}}{\rlap{5}{7}}}{\rlap{\rlap{9}{6}}{\rlap{7}{8}}}}}[/math]
you can't say it doesn't exist because it is obviosly written right there and you can see it.
You can count to gdajllllop on the numberline. It comes after any number you count to but then stop on. Count to 9:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, [math]\underline{\stackrel{\overline{\mathbb{R}}}{\rlap{\rlap{\rlap{1}{3}}{\rlap{5}{7}}}{\rlap{\rlap{9}{6}}{\rlap{7}{8}}}}}[/math]
It also comes after any number you invoke, for example 732.
732 < [math]\underline{\stackrel{\overline{\mathbb{R}}}{\rlap{\rlap{\rlap{1}{3}}{\rlap{5}{7}}}{\rlap{\rlap{9}{6}}{\rlap{7}{8}}}}}[/math]

You might want to complain that 733 comes after 732, and you'd be right, but you just invoked 733, so [math]\underline{\stackrel{\overline{\mathbb{R}}}{\rlap{\rlap{\rlap{1}{3}}{\rlap{5}{7}}}{\rlap{\rlap{9}{6}}{\rlap{7}{8}}}}}[/math] > 733

Its very useful.
It also has a wonderful property. If you invoke gdajllllop and add any number to it, you get [math]\underline{\stackrel{\overline{\mathbb{R}}}{\rlap{\rlap{\rlap{1}{3}}{\rlap{5}{7}}}{\rlap{\rlap{9}{6}}{\rlap{7}{8}}}}}_{+n}[/math], so you can say that the real number amount of 3's in 0.333... is [math]\underline{\stackrel{\overline{\mathbb{R}}}{\rlap{\rlap{\rlap{1}{3}}{\rlap{5}{7}}}{\rlap{\rlap{9}{6}}{\rlap{7}{8}}}}}_{+\underline{\stackrel{\overline{\mathbb{R}}}{\rlap{\rlap{\rlap{1}{3}}{\rlap{5}{7}}}{\rlap{\rlap{9}{6}}{\rlap{7}{8}}}}}}[/math]
Gdajllllop-n is just adding a negative number and works the same way.
So if x=0.999... and there are gdajllllop amount of 9's in the decimal, 10x = 9.999... with gdajllllop-1 amount of 9's, so 10x-x = 8.999... gdajllllop-1 nines followed by a 1, and 8.999... gdajllllop-1 nines followed by a 1 divided by 9 = 0.999... with gdajllllop nines.

I suggest you pronounce it g'daj'lop.

If you set up a full epsilon delta, you'll find that 0.333... is greater than every number less than 1/3 and less than every number greater than 1/3, and the only other real number that shares these properties is 1/3.

The shit argumemt was the fallacy assumption of how repeating decimals work. If you assume 0.333... = 1/3 because "there is no value between 0.333.. & 1", you are making two distinctly retarded assumptions.
1) you assume infinity is finite, that there exist an infinite amount of 3's already, but because it's past tense that means an end came thus it is not as infinite as you claim, because an infinite amount, if one ever existed, could never exist in the past or present, but could only potentially exist on the day after any future moment you can imagine.

I don't. I make two assumptions:

1) A sum with more threes is greater than a sum with fewer threes, and this holds in the infinite case, meaning 0.333... is greater than any terminating sequence of threes. This bounds 0.333... from below.

2) For any positive integer n, (10^-n) * 4 >= (10^-n) * 3.333..., and this holds in the infinite case. This bounds 0.333... from above.

>"because there exist no integers between 1 and 2, 1&2 must be the same integer" is another way of writing the obviously retarded logic from >>9541192 (You)
Actually the equivalent argument is "because 1 - 1 = 0, 1 and 1 must be the same number" which absolutely holds for integers. An epsilon delta proof shows that the difference between a sequence and it's limit can be made arbitrarily small. If a - b = 0 then a = b.

Righy here this obviously states that infinity must then not be a number, as it cannot be counted, and if its not a number then it can be attributed as a number amount, so saying "there are infinite 9's in 0.999..." is utterly meaningless. You can only say there are "infinitely countable" 9's, or you could just as easily say there are "a lot" of 9's, both phrases mean the same vague, brainlet bullshit of lazy concatenation and inadequate description. What this means is when you invoke a repeating decimal number like 0.999..., what you are actually doing is saying that the 9's go on forever. You can only compare how many 9's there actually may be if you assume to count them, and if you assume to count them there must always be a real number amount of 9's as counting to infinity is not an achievable action. 0.999... is only truthfully as good as 0.(1000 9's) or 0.(1 million 9's), or, just as vague as you like to be you could claim 0.(an arbitrarily large real number amount of 9's)

For your question you must make the assumption that the "..." implies a static singular amount so as to retaij a consistent value betweem each of the examples. In that sense, if i reduced "..." to mean " ", your values look like:

You have to instantiate a greatest real number to assume an infinite value can exist that is greater, yet any real number value regardless if it is great or not can become a different greater real number value by adding any real number value to it, so in this sense you cannot ever reach, know, or use infinity or properties of infinity as a value that has a specific relation to numbers.

You either see it as a ceiling where no number can be greater, thereby strictly definining it with properties of finiteness and therefore paradoxical to your usage of it, or you see it as a work of forever, never ending, never properly reaching infinity, which too is paradoxical to your usage of it.

How would a limit be formalized on a computer?

Computers contain only finite data, but a computation can either be finite or infinite. While computations of a limit are infinite, it will never provide a useful result. Limits can be approximated by taking an intermediate result after an arbitrary amount of computation, but the process does not preserve the concept of a limit.

From my own meditation, a limit is a function that takes two arguments, a starting point, and an inductive process, and computes an object that represents a number. The starting point may come in handy for computing limits for induction on rational numbers, or more complicated data types.

For example, let [math]S[/math] be the successor function on natural numbers that takes a number and returns its successor, then [math]limit(0,S)=+\infty[/math], as would [math]limit(S(0), S)=+\infty[/math], and so on and so forth. Note that this limit is only represented symbolically by [math]+\infty[/math], its actual representation would be some sort of data structure.

Define a sequence [math]s[/math] to be any function that takes one natural number as its arguments. One can also define an inductive process computing the next element of [math]s[/math] from the previously defined inductive process [math]S[/math] and [math]s[/math] itself.

[math]limit(s(0), inductive\_process(S,s))=lim_{n\rightarrow +\infty} s(n)[/math]

Similarly, limits of a function [math]f[/math] can be defined by composing [math]f[/math] with a sequences converging to [math]x_0[/math] to define a new sequence converging to [math]f(x_0)[/math].

If anyone has relevant literature, I would be more than happy to take reading recommendations.

You are implying that no value can reasonably exist after the ellipses by comparing it to black holes, thereby saying you believe nothing can reasonably exist beyond a black hole's event horizon. This is what you fucking said. If you assume there is nothing inside a black hole then why do you think a black hole could exist?

There is obviously a substantial amount of something in a black hole else it would evaporate instantly, and just cause you cant interact with what is inside doesn't mean it isn't there. If you want to assume "..." means infinite, and that an infinite value can exist to have been knowably counted as such, you're dumb - but if you want to then extend that to no value can come after an infinite amount, you're super dumb. If you never travel to the south pole, that must mean it doesn't exist by your logic, and that there could be nothing beyond the south pole if you continued walking on the same path as you approached it.

The best solution is saying "n/0 is undefined" because 0 is not a real number, just as much infinity is not a real number, and that all real numbers exist exclusively between the non-inclusive non-vector 0 defining nothing and the vector infinity defining something that might be everything. 0 is the left bracket and infinity is the right bracket surrounding the set of possible real numbers of which any real number can be added to this set.

It is also true enough that 0 and infinity have special similarities to each other when they're pretended to be treated as number values which otherwise don't exist with the other, real numbers:

Wat? No. It's because the process of division is defined by a multiplication of the inverse, i.e. a/b = a*b^(-1), where b^(-1) is the number such that b*b^(-1) = 1. In the axiomatic definition of an inverse in any field, it's given that 0 does not possess an inverse (unless we're talking about the degenerate singleton field over the set {0}, in which case 0=1). But in the field of real numbers (R,+,•), 0 is an element of the reals and does not possess an inverse, so n*0^(-1) is not defined.

Vector is reasonably well defined in simple words. google it if you think i somehow used it incorrectly. The direction is "more and more" or "unending". If you want to describe a property of the repeating 3's in 1/3 decimal as "infinite", you are saying that the 3's never stop. If the 3's never stop, there is no reason to believe there will ever be a sufficient enough amount of 3's to finitely equate "1/3", so 1/3 must always be greater than 0.333...
You can then obey normal finiteness in assuming that an arbitrary invocation of the number [math]0.\bar{3}[/math] can only have an arbatrarily large real number amount of countable 3's towards either providing a decimal accuracy requirement and therefore a definite end to the 3's, like an 8 digit calculator may only show 0.(seven 3's), or you can presume with arbitrary decimal accuracy that a repeating decimal lacks a definite element of accuracy whereby 1/3 need not necessarily be greater than 0.333..., but it must only approximate to 0.333... without actually equaling 0.333... as [math]\frac{1}{3} \approx 0.\bar{3}[/math], providing the understanding that there exists a margin of error. This further accomodates how [math]\frac{1}{3} × 3 = 1[/math] but [math]0.\bar{3} × 3 = 0.\bar{9}[/math], as the decimal values have lost an exactness element in translation. It also accomdates that because there exists no infinite number amount, a set must also be bounded by an arbatrarily large real number amount, which taken literally or even figuratively to describe the group of individual digits in a repeating decimal, provides that arithmetic performed on a set will also abide by finiteness, which ultimately disproves obviously flawed garbage nonsense like riemann zeta and ramanujan which otherwise required disingenuous "shifting" on "infinite sets" which cannot be similarly applied to finite sets. It also provides better analogies to zeno's paradoxes to make certain an infinite sum of 1/2^n cannot really reach 1.

They are infinitely countable. A largest real number is not required. A largest practical number may be required for some cases though. Septillionth is enough decimal accuracy to describe even once in a universal lifetime events such as that if every millisecond since the big bang were randomly assigned a number where the number assigned wasn't taken out of the pool of remaining numbers, there is less than [math]\frac{1}{1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000}[/math] probabilty any millsecond would have received the same random number as another millisecond.

Real upper bound? No reason to assume its necessary. Practical global upper bound? Septillion, maybe? Practical local upper bound? Most any digital media you've ever seen has gotten far enough with only 15 decimals of accuracy. Most cryptography has gotten far enough with only 256 digits. "Arbatrarily large" is well below the classical misinterpretation of infinity, yet even "arbatrarily large" is significantly larger than any yet utilized precision requirement. The classical "value" of infinity is honestly so fucking big that it could never matter, when most precision can be solved or described with only 15 significant digits.

Scalars are often taken to be real numbers, but there are also vector spaces with scalar multiplication by complex numbers, rational numbers, or generally any field. The operations of vector addition and scalar multiplication must satisfy certain requirements, called axioms, listed below.

>Euclidean vectors are an example of a vector space. They represent physical quantities such as forces: any two forces (of the same type) can be added to yield a third, and the multiplication of a force vector by a real multiplier is another force vector. In the same vein, but in a more geometric sense, vectors representing displacements in the plane or in three-dimensional space also form vector spaces. Vectors in vector spaces do not necessarily have to be arrow-like objects as they appear in the mentioned examples: vectors are regarded as abstract mathematical objects with particular properties, which in some cases can be visualized as arrows.

>Vector spaces are the subject of linear algebra and are well characterized by their dimension, which, roughly speaking, specifies the number of independent directions in the space. Infinite-dimensional vector spaces arise naturally in mathematical analysis, as function spaces, whose vectors are functions. These vector spaces are generally endowed with additional structure, which may be a topology, allowing the consideration of issues of proximity and continuity. Among these topologies, those that are defined by a norm or inner product are more commonly used, as having a notion of distance between two vectors. This is particularly the case of Banach spaces and Hilbert spaces, which are fundamental in mathematical analysis.

>Today, vector spaces are applied throughout mathematics, science and engineering. They are the appropriate linear-algebraic notion to deal with systems of linear equations. They offer a framework for Fourier expansion, which is employed in image compression routines, and they provide an environment that can be used for solution techniques for partial differential equations. Furthermore, vector spaces furnish an abstract, coordinate-free way of dealing with geometrical and physical objects such as tensors. This in turn allows the examination of local properties of manifolds by linearization techniques. Vector spaces may be generalized in several ways, leading to more advanced notions in geometry and abstract algebra.

>> No.9542769

>>9542763
To be more exact its a direction and a value tending towards that direction. A direction like north or south can be static, while vector carries a notion of action or movement. It easily fits into a definition of infinity to allow that since an infinite value cannot occur, but incrementing may move unending towards greater numbers, that the direction is greater numbers on the numberline and and the movement is acknowledging reference frames from one exact finite recording of incrementing to the next. Its a fucking vector.

Can't tell if you're trolling, crazy, or just uneducated. But a vector is just an element of a vector space, which is an abstraction of the notions of "magnitude and length." The "magnitudes" are the vectors and the "lengths" are the scalars. All you need to have a vector space is some sets with operations that satisfy the definitions of a vector space. In *any* vector space, vectors must behave like vectors. Infinity doesn't behave like a vector.

>The fourth proof arises from the degrees that are found in things. A hierarchy of each quality. For there is found a greater and a less degree of goodness, truth, nobility, and the like. But more or less are terms spoken of various things as they approach in diverse ways toward something that is the greatest, just as in the case of hotter (more hot) that approaches nearer the greatest heat. In the hierarchy of complexity one might find a worm lower down, a dog higher, and a human higher than that. There exists therefore something that is the truest, most complex, best, and most noble, and in consequence, the greatest being. For what are the greatest truths are the greatest beings, as is said in the Metaphysics Bk. II. 2. What moreover is the greatest in its way, in another way is the cause of all things of its own kind (or genus); thus fire, which is the greatest heat, is the cause of all heat, as is said in the same book (cf. Plato and Aristotle). Therefore there exists something that is the limit of the existence of all reals and of the goodness and of every perfection whatsoever—and this we call Infinity.

It doesn't even have to be magnitude and direction. R is a vector field over R. Sets of polynomials form vector fields. Since vector fields don't require an inner product, you don't even always have a concept of orthogonality.

You assume an infinite number amount exists and that it is achieveably countable to have completed counting it in finite time. You are a brainlet.
>>9539995
This post clearly demonstrated the base ideology for how anyone would have ever originally assumed that there were never ending repeating 3's in the decimal of 1/3.
Never ending. Do you understand?
Your concept of the number "0.333..." lacks meaning and implies beyond it's means. The repetition in a repeating decimal doesn't mean an infinite value amount has been counted explicitly because an infinite value cannot be counted; it only means that there are more repetitions. You are not invoking any sensible finiteness and therefore not invoking any real sense of accuracy by simply providing the number [math]0.\bar{3}[/math], so you cannot hope to extract finite answers from equations involving it. You ask what number could exist between 0.333... and 1/3, and the clear and obvious answer is a number 0.333... with one more 3, in the very least. I ask you what number could exist between 0.9 and 1, and you answer 0.9 with one more 9, in the very least.

Do you understand?
What you mean to say when you say 1/3 = 0.333... is really [math]\frac{1}{3} = 0.\bar{3}_{\frac{1}{3}}[/math] taken arbitrarily, or [math]\frac{1}{3} = 0.\bar{3}_{r.(n-1)}[/math] taken finitely, where n is your decimal accuracy requirement inclusive of a rounding buffer.
The former allows you to properly use arithmetic in [math]0.\bar{3}_{\frac{1}{3}} × 3 = 0.\bar{9}_{\frac{3}{3}} = 0.\bar{9}_{1}[/math] where the whole 1 carries over and properly sums 1.0 in totality. The latter allows [math]0.\bar{3}_{r.(5-1)} × 3 = 0.\bar{9}_{r.(5-1)}[/math] which is the equivalent of 0.9999[9[math]\uparrow[/math] = 0.9999[[math]\leftarrow[/math]10 =
0.999[9+1]
0.99[9+1]0
0.9[9+1]00
0.[9+1]000
[0+1].0000 = 1.0

and can also be used
x = [math]0.\bar{9}_{r.(n-1)}[/math]
10x = [math]9.\bar{9}_{r.(n-2)}[/math]
10x - x = [math]8.\bar{9}_{r.(n-2)}1[/math]

Working in a framework that tries to express uncountable quantities is unpleasing and in that sense infinity is problematic.
But it has nothing to do with "exists" in the naive sense argued about here.
