We ACT to deal with the outside world.
We MATH to deal with the natural fact MANY ???
Oops, sorry, MATH is not an action word!
We COUNT & ADD to Master MANY.
- BundleCount & ReCount:
T = 5 = I I I I I = 0B 5 2s
T = 5 = II II I = 2B 1 2s
T = 5 = IIII I = 1BB 0B 1 2s
T = 5 = 2B 1 2s = 1B 3 2s = 3B -1 2s (Overload or Underload)
T = 7 = 2B 1 3s = 1B 2 5s = 3B 1 2s = 1BB 1B 1 2s
T = 3×8 = 3 8s = 2B 6 9s = 2B 4 tens, or the sloppy version 24
T = 336 /7 = 33B 6 /7 = 28B5 6 /7 = 4B 8 = 48
Counting gives a decimal number with a unit (a natural number).
Adding OnTop, a Total may be ReCounted to shift the unit.
Adding NextTo, means Integration of areas.
- Add OnTop & Add NextTo:
T1+T2 = 1B2 3s + 4B5 6s = 0B5 6s + 4B5 6s = 5B4 6s
T1+T2 = 1B2 3s + 4B5 6s = 3B7 9s or 3B4 tens = 34
