Mathematics

Future
A non-mathematical basis for modern
mathematics
Every finite quantity, greater than 0 but less
than or equal to 12 is contained in an order 12 MM1.

The
premise is that we need to reinvent mathematics -
for the future. Although that sounds like a lofty ambition, a short-cut
has recently been found. Called MM1, the array of fractions contains many
interesting properties. This site details the discovery, the ramifications
and the practical applications of a non-mathematical basis for mathematics.
To make good use of MM1 requires accepting the assumption: MM1 was
invented before mathematics, then mathematics was based on the MM1 array.
Even if the assumption is incorrect, it will facilitate the
introduction.
What is presented here is the results of four years of research that followed
the finding of MM1. To make best use of this site, please gather together
all the resources in the
references section.
This is an ongoing project. A new version of the original program, for example,
is now under development. The plan is to repeat the original experiment.
If you are a mathematics expert, you might find that this site - at least
- presents old ideas in a new light. If you are new or intermediate, perhaps
you will agree with me that it would be nice to beleive that math has a single
source. a place to begin - and end - the journey into advanced mathematics.
To me, that is the most useful idea of all. NOTE:
