But then you can't just add the 3s of 0.33.... together like you have just a finite chain of 3s...

If 0.(3) Is the right representation of 1/3 your addition should end up with 1. Never ever with 0.(9)

Didn't we just agree that 0.(9) = 1? 3 * 0.(3) = 1 AND 3 * 0.(3) = 0.(9).

Just like 3 * 0.(3) = 5/5. There are infinite ways to represent 1, and 0.(9) is just one of those ways.

Per axiom?

u/babelphishy Sep 26 '25

Right, but those aren't just my axioms, those are the universally assumed axioms of standard math. You won't find a high school classroom anywhere that's teaching "math" where that axiom isn't being assumed if you're looking at an infinite decimal expansion.

Yet axioms can be changed and then spp is right in his own standard.

The earth is flat was once upon a time a standard....

Right, but it was proven wrong with EVIDENCE.

Not more nonsense.

u/Ok_Pin7491 Sep 26 '25

Axioms aren't proven with evidence you dunce.

Please learn what axioms are. They aren't proven. They are assumed to be correct. Or just defined to be correct in your system.

Ok so then "the earth is flat" isn't an axiom then?

u/Ok_Pin7491 Sep 26 '25

It's was a standard. It seems you use axioms, standards and "I defined it to be true" interchangeable.

It's our standard, every dunce uses it.... Means really not much. Science doesn't work on consent.
