Hi POK and Scott and everyone else;

I agree with you POK, I rely on a lot of intuit and logic myself.

I also think the #'s 0 and 1 are magical like the # 3.
Especially, necessary for the computer, to have a binary numbering system, that can literally represent anything.

Also in probability theory your odds always fall between 0 and 1. 0% to 100% of an event happening. ( Also implied in that is 0 is nothing: it can't happen; and 1 is everything: it will happen )

When it comes to 1/0, I'll leave it as undefined, though I guess, you are free to define it however you wish.

A formulation I was thinking of was similar to your's Scott. W=X1+X2+X3. That would be the whole W is equal to the sum of its 3 parts X1+X2+X3, Or maybe its a function of or summation of the 3 X's. I still don't have a mental image Scott.

Beat to all,

Pat
