Okay, so I had a personal project for a long time that addressed the potential for an algebra that allowed for the multipicitive inverse of the additive identity.

In the context of the resulting non-associative algebra, 0/0=1, rather than 0.

For anyone wondering, the foundation goes as such: Ω0=1, Ωx=ΩΩ=Ω, x+Ω=Ω, Ω-Ω=Ω+Ω=0.

A fun consequence of this is the exponential function exp(x)=Σ((x^n)/n!) diverges at exp(Ω). Specifically you can reduce it to Σ(Ω), which when you try to evaluate it, you find that it evaluates to either 0 or Ω. This is particularly fitting, because e^x has a divergent limit at infinity. Specially, it approaches infinity when going towards the positive end and it approaches 0 when approaching the negative.

There's more cool things you can do with that, but I'll leave it there for now.

That seems interesting. Do you have any material/link/blog on this?

[–] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, I'm pretty shy about my work in-person and I don't like linking my online and IRL self. Do you have any recommendations for places to put my work?

[–] Danitos@reddthat.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sadly, no. However, you could maybe do a personal blog, similar to how Terrence Tao does.

I really encourage you to try, it could help you find new stuff, check for mistakes, clarify ideas, and maybe even hear ideas from others.

I appreciate your encouragement; it's an extremely rare occurrence when I discuss my ideas with others. I'll think about what you've said and if I follow through I hope to remember to send you a message. I'm favouriting this comment so I can find it again.

That'll make me really glad :)
