When I look at your circle, you are using the numbers 1 and 0. I have all by itself no problem with that. Yet I now realize that these two numbers cannot be used in one context with 1 indicating the whole, and 0 indicating the nothing. The problem is that 1 (with meaning the whole) already includes the zero, so using the zero yet again is superfluous. Ordinarily, there is no problem with using 1 in a combination with 0, but that normally only happens when 1 stands for something else than the whole.
Does your 1 stand for the whole and does 0 stand for absolutely nothing? Because then we have a communication problem.
I would like it very much though if you are willing to discover this together with me! |
May I interrupt here to make a few points about the conceptual understanding
+1/0 /-1
The number line prepresents the potential of infinity.
Infinity by definition must be found from any point in any direction.
The [0] does not represent no-thing in terms of infinity - it represents a [neutral] anywhere within infinity then proceed up/down/forwards/backwards to infinity.
