Are the Numbers 0 and 1 the Only Meaningful Ones?

 

https://x.com/i/grok/share/2ea0bd49206048f9b6aaab4c73a9a268

This is a wild bold statement. I'm going to propose that the Fibonacci sequence is an invalid entity in the real world. That is, everything about it is imaginary. And that mathematics is very seriously flawed. And that we all know it yet no one is permitted to discuss it.

  1. The number 0 is nothing
  2. The number 1 is everything
  3. All numbers above 1 are imaginary numbers, which do not really exist in the world, but do have utility when used for calculating things within this imaginary world we have created
  4. The Fibonacci sequence is an invalid entity in the real world because the program has to start from 2 and 0 an 1 both need to be hacked manually. Everything about Fibonaci is imaginary but we used it daily to improve utility
I'm also not sure that 0 is a valid number - having only 2 proper numbers in the world looks to me like a duality and I do not like dualities. But that's my beliefs leading me so I must be careful. 

This dawned on me while playing around with assembler on my arm Macbook to see how all that worked using Grok to help. I used the classic Fibonacci sequence as subject matter for the small assembler program.  

What triggered me, and it triggers me each time I play with it, is that a computer machine cannot calculate the Fibonacci sequence without needing to hack the first two numbers. That is, the program can only be made to work if the first two numbers are printed out freehand before moving onto the rest of the numbers which can be calculated manually. 

So why can a computer, which is a mathematical logic machine using binary, not compute the whole sequence from 0 up?

I'm no mathematician, please put me straight on this. Tell me why?

If you can't tell me why then something is very wrong at the base of mathematical understanding and has been so for centuries. 

I don't believe this is a good or a bad thing per se. No one will be harmed directly and immediately by it if true. But it might be contributing to the continuous problems the world has always faced - we are imagining what the world is really like, rather than looking directly at what is right there, in front of our faces.

*NOTE: do not worry about the unsigned overflow handling in the actual program, this is just an artefact I was trying to solve which brought me here. It has no bearing on the underlying problem and is just an effect of maxing out a 64 bit system and signalling overflow with the Carry flag. It would be identical in 32 or 16 bit system.

PETITION: Government to Indicate Countries of the UK Are Open to Accede to the US

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious conversation to addres...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle culminating in a financial crisis or a great recession. The 18.6 year period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this. And the politicians of the time used it to signal the day when the economy would be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because this period was about how long the people of nations could abuse the economy before it was too late to recover on its own and much worse effects would have emerged. So it was the wisdom of the leadership of the time. As the aeons went by, the meaning and rationale of this policy became normalised - people an...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...
