Is the Real-Line a Fractal? Weak Points Examined

  • Thread starter Shemesh

In summary, the author claims that the real line is a fractal, and that any element of R set can simultaneously be a unique number of the real line, and a global scale factor on the entire real line. There is no process involved, but a simultaneous existence of R set on infinitely many unique scale levels of itself.

Reexamination of the Real-Line

If any local R member is also a global scale factor on the entire real-line and this duality recursively defines R members, then the real-line is a fractal as I show here:

Please show me what are the weak points here?

Matt Grime said:
1. you begin with an if for a start, and don't prove that it is a non-vacuous case, but that could be hard because:
2. none of those terms are extant, ie known, or if they are you are using them in a way that is not understood by anyone else

words that need explanation:
local, member (but we presume you mean element), global, scale, factor, duality, fractal (you would need to prove that this statement is equiavalent to the statement R is a fractal)

An explanation of Vacuous Truth can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuously_true#Vacuous_truths_in_mathematics

If you look at http://www.geocities.com/complementarytheory/Real-Line.pdf , you can see that by this model any member (or element) of R set can be simultaneously in both states:

1) As some unique number of the real line (a unique member of R set)

2) As a global scale factor on the entire real-line, which its product is the entire real-line included in itself according to this global scale.

There is no process here but a simultaneous existence of R set on infinitely many unique scale levels of itself.

Because of this self-similarity over scales, we can understand why some segment of the real line can have the magnitude of the entire real-line.

Please understand that we are not talking about some shape of a fractal, but on the infinitely many levels of non-empty elements, which are included in R set.

It is important to stress that there is one and only one magnitude to the real line, which is not affected by its fractal nature.


Any comments?

What is an "ultimative fractal" ?

No, wait, what is "ultimative" ? Or, is that German ?

1. You've not explained what global scale factor means, just used the words again.
2. if fractals have nothing to do with it why do you keep banging on about them
3. R is an infinite set, that is all youy're saying
4. magnitude has not been defined properly, given your weird views on cardinality and lack of understanding of the usage of words in proper mathematics youy should at least try to explain what you mean, though you will fail almost surely.
 

FAQ: Is the Real-Line a Fractal? Weak Points Examined

1. What is "Reeanination of the Real-Line"?

"Reeanination of the Real-Line" is a mathematical concept that involves redefining the real number line by replacing the traditional concept of a continuous line with a series of discrete points. This allows for more precise calculations and analysis of real numbers.

2. How is "Reeanination of the Real-Line" different from the traditional real number line?

The traditional real number line is a continuous line with no gaps between numbers, while "Reeanination of the Real-Line" introduces gaps between numbers to allow for more precise calculations and analysis.

3. What are the advantages of using "Reeanination of the Real-Line"?

One of the main advantages of "Reeanination of the Real-Line" is that it allows for more precise calculations and analysis of real numbers. It also makes it easier to visualize and understand certain mathematical concepts.

4. Are there any disadvantages to using "Reeanination of the Real-Line"?

Some may argue that "Reeanination of the Real-Line" adds complexity to mathematical concepts and may be difficult for some to understand. It also may not be applicable in all situations and may not be necessary for basic mathematical calculations.

5. How is "Reeanination of the Real-Line" used in real-world applications?

"Reeanination of the Real-Line" is mainly used in theoretical mathematics and may not have many direct real-world applications. However, some argue that it can be applied in fields such as computer science and physics to improve calculations and problem-solving techniques.
