That claim is proven to be counter-factual by the provided context.

That I said you concur with me does not indicate that you totally
agreed with every subtle nuance. The aspect that you did agree to
forms the whole basis of my position:

(1) Points on a number line immediately adjacent to each other can be conceived
and differ by an infinitesimal value.

(2) The intervals [A, B] - (A, B] = point: A.

 From (1) and (2) the whole Infinitesimal number system is derived.

Since it is clear that (0,100) specifies every geometric point on the number
line between 0 and 100 except for 0 and 100 then it does specify the geometric
point immediately after 0 and the geometric point immediately before 100 with
no geometric points in-between.

If these geometric points are defined to be real numbers and real numbers
are defined to always be divisible by 2, then something about the way that
these things are defined is inherently inconsistent.

[0, 100] has a first and last point and a first and last real number
(0, 100) has a first and last point yet no first and last real number.

When-so-ever we remove any portion from the front of the interval: [0, 100]
It always has a first point.
[0.5, 100]
[0.1, 100]
[0.0001, 100]
[0.0000000000000001, 100]
[0.000000000000...1, 100]
(0, 100]

There is a first point that cannot be identified with a real number.
It can ONLY be identified with the infinitesimal number: 0.0[1].

It only seems like there is no first point when trying to identify
this point with a real number.

The conversation has moved way past this. Now my point is built

I SUMMED IT UP MORE CONCISELY HERE:

THERE IS A POINT ON THE NUMBER LINE IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO 0

WE CAN SUBTRACT A SINGLE POINT FROM AN INTERVAL DERIVING ANOTHER
INTERVAL THAT DOES NOT HAVE THIS POINT
On 9/16/2019 8:33 PM, Mike Terry wrote:
 > OK, so (A,B] = [A,B] - {A}, and that can be counted as an "operation

Mike Terry agreed with this verbatim: [A, B] - {A} = (A, B]
Infinitesimal Numbers would encode (A, B] as [A[1], B]

We merely extrapolate the very next elaboration
[A[1], B] - {A[1]} = (A[1], B] encoded as [A[2], B]

This shows how Infinitesimal Numbers directly reference immediately
adjacent points on a number line.

0.0[0] = 0.0
0.0[1] = the next point after 0.0
0.0[2] = 2 points after 0.0
0.0[3] = 3 points after 0.0

This paragraph that you keep quoting was followed by additional material 
which you conveniently ignore. That material made it quite clear that he 
was *not* supporting your view.

This paragraph that you keep quoting was followed by additional
material which you conveniently ignore. That material made it quite
clear that I was not supporting your view.

I do not expect to convince you of anything, nor am I interested in
doing so, but I expect these two paragraphs will appear with multiple
preceding ">" characters in multiple followups (unless you snip them)

The open interval (0,1] over the real numbers has no least element
(you have recently claimed that it does).  An open interval (0,1]
over some proper superset of the real numbers could conceivably have
a least element, but I don't believe it could do so unless that set
is deliberately constructed to make this claim true, which is not a
useful thing to do (I'm less than 100% confident of this statement).
The cardinality of the reals is greater than the cardinality of the
integers.  The cardinality of any superset of the reals is greater
than the cardinality of the integers.  All these statements are in
direct disagreement with claims you have made here.

Given your habit of quoting the entirety of the parent article in
each followup, I expect you'll continue to cite me in support of
your claims while quoting this article in which I clearly state that
I disagree with you.  I've asked you not to cite me in support of
your claims, and I ask you again now to stop, but I do not anticipate
that you will respect that simple request.

Since infinity is a process rather that a value it is impossible
for any infinite sets to have a differing "size".

Within the concept of the Infinitesimal Number system Reals are a
subset and Integers form an index thus a bijection to Infinitesimals.

We know that there is no Real number that is immediately adjacent
to 0.0, thus we know that there is always a measurable gap between
0.0 and the next closest Real number, ONLY Infinitesimals totally
fill this gap.

THE ABOVE REFUTED (A, B] HAS A LEAST REAL ELEMENT.

Assuming that X is the length of [3.0, 4.0) and y is the length of (3.0. 
4.0), then what is (x-y)/2? What is 1/(x-y)?

This is basically 1.0 divided by infinitesimal. This may be disallowed too
because it seems analogous to dividing by zero.

Then you're not talking about real numbers, are you?

Do you understand what 'densely-ordered' means?

In some cases the only type of number corresponding to a point on a number
line may not be any of the conventionally named numbers.

That is why I call this the Infinitesimal number system.
I was incorrectly initially thinking that all the numbers
on a number line are real numbers.

The following is one of the axioms which define the reals:

If x < z, there exists a y such that x < y and y < z.

If your "geometric points" are indivisible, then you are not describing 
the reals, since that would violate this axiom.

Yes I am not talking about reals. I am talking about infinitesimals.
To the best of my knowledge I discovered the infinitesimal number system in 2018.

A = (0.0, 1.0]
B = (0,0, 1.0)
Length(A) - Length(B) = C (one geometric point)
C / 2.0 is undefined in the same way that 2.0 / 0.0 is undefined.

Then you shouldn't write things such as "The next real number after 3.0 
is the geometric point on the number line that is immediately adjacent 
to 3.0 on its right side."

So then how are multiplication and division defined in your system?

Actually, let's ignore division for the moment and focus only on 
addition and multiplication. Using your R[I] notation where R is the 
'real' part and I is the 'infinitesimal part', how does one go about 
solving the following:

a[x] + b[y] = ?

a[x] • b[y] = ?
