22.4 Binomializing the F&D Series

Remember our expression, ÔWherever there are the coefficients of PascalÕs triangle, there is a binomial expansion, not far behind.Õ This section is devoted to the Binomialization of the F&D Series.

A. The Binomialized F Series

The general expression

Let us begin with the end for a change. Below is the general binomialized expression for the F Series for the Mth Root of any rational number, a/b, where c=(a-b)/b, as normal. M is a positive integer. (This treatment also applies to fractional roots. The constant c would simply equal the general expression for c listed above. We just chose integer roots for simplicity of expression.)

Now all we need to know is what ¶ and ½, represent. This is the shocker.

Infinitesimals and dimensional generators

The first element, ¶, represents an infinitesimal, while the second element, ½, represents a dimensional generator. For short we will call ½ a generator. Neither is a normal number. While the elements of the Denominator and Fraction series are all regular numbers, these are not. Because ¶ and ½ are not and do not represent regular numbers, they also do not combine the same way as regular numbers do. Hence the operations of the binomial expansion need to be defined.

Questions that need to be answered and those that donÕt

Following are some of the questions that need to be answered. What happens when an infinitesimal is added or multiplied times a generator? What happens when an infinitesimal or generator is added or multiplied by itself? The question we don't need to know, and canÕt answer, is why it happens.

Properties

Infinitesimals are so small that when added or multiplied by themselves they always equal an infinitesimal, which equals zero in our plane. However an infinitesimal is not equal to zero, they represent something. Hence when an infinitesimal is added or multiplied times a generator it equals something, in this case 1, unity, the all. Generators, on the other hand, only achieve ordinary reality when they are combined with something else. Generators multiplied by themselves raise the number of elements of the F series multiplied times each other. This is probably far too confusing to be understood independent of the numbers themselves. Listed below are the relations for the F Series.

Explanation of the Properties

Before exploring their manifestations let us look at the properties themselves to understand them. Property #1 is mandatory if the binomial expansion is to work. At first glance Properties 2 and 3 seem contradictory. However when it is realized that neither ¶ nor ½ are regular numbers, nor is Ô*Õ a ÔregularÕ multiplication, we can begin to make sense of it. First ¶ is an infinitesimal, a point; it is not really nothing. Thus whether it is a square point or whether it is cubic or quartic point, it is still an infinitesimal. Thus its size relative to anything is still zero, although it still exists. Thus when it is combined with ½, it still equals something, i.e. one. Property 4 merely states that the exponent of ½ indicates how many of the F series are to be multiplied times each other. Soon we will see examples of this property.

Back on property 2:

Perhaps we should have stated that ¶ equals a different type of zero to make sense of these equations. Perhaps we should have said that ¶ raised to any power and added to something always equals that something. This alternative way of expressing the property is shown below.

This representation of property 2 doesnÕt really equate ¶ with zero. But any standard algebraic manipulation would immediately prove that it equals zero. Thus we must stress verbally that it equals an infinitesimal, which exists, although it is infinitely small.

Examples of the ¶ and ½ properties

Here are a few examples of these properties in action.

Binomial Expansion of the F Series, when M = 1.

Let us do a few simple expansions of our F Series to see what weÕre talking about. This is the general equation for the F Series from equation 48.

Let us start at the beginning when M = 1. Substituting in the general equation.

In step 51, it is remembered that the F Series is only an approximation. Remember also that the F series is based on an iterative function. Hence as the number of iterations approaches infinity the value of the F Series approaches the root minus one. In step 52 it is acknowledged that the first root of anything is the element itself. Hence the first root of a/b is a/b. Further (a/b) -1 equals ÔcÕ the constant of the general equation. Thus the limit of (¶+½) approaches one. The tendency is to say that ¶=0 and ½= 1, but it is much more complicated than that. If it was that simple our equations are meaningless. As pointed out before, ¶ and ½ are not ÔnormalÕ numbers, although when combined they yield a ÔnormalÕ number. This is similar to the example of imaginary numbers, i.e. they yield real numbers when multiplied by themselves.

Binomialized F Series for Square Roots, M = 2.

Let us now look at a more ÔnormalÕ situation, i.e. when the M of the general equation equals 2, i.e. the F series generates a square root. We substitute 2 for M in the general equation. We expand the equation in the normal way employing both the distributive and commutative properties to expand the equation and combine terms.

At the end of Equation 54 we obtain the same result for square roots that we derived before.

F Series for cube roots

Following are the expansions of the cube and 4th roots. The patterns are made manifest. First the cube root series.

In equation 55, we start with the general equation and expand it. In equation 56 we substitute in the defined values for the powers of ¶ and ½. In equation 57, we nest the values algebraically to give our F Series for the cube root its familiar form.

F Series for the 4th root

Now the expansion of the F Series for the 4th root.

First the general statement, #58, then the traditional binomial expansion, #59, followed by the substitution of the defined values, #60, and finally we show the traditional iterative function for 4th roots developed in this Notebook, #61.

B. Weird implications: inverted dimensions

What are some of the implications of this equation for the Binomialized F Series?

Each root adds dimensionality

One gets the feeling that each additional root adds a layer of complexity, an actual dimension to the number in question. Normally multiplication implies adding dimensionality. For instance when mathematicians speak of the square or cube of some number, it refers immediately to its geometry. A number multiplied by itself twice yields a square, while a number multiplied by itself three times yields a cube. This same language is used in inverse for roots. The number that is the root of the square is called the square root, while the number that is the root of the cube is called the cube root. The root in this case is the one-dimensional line that when expanded into 2 or 3 dimensions yields the square or cube.

The ÔzerothÕ dimension equals ÔoneÕ

In the case above, while the first dimension is a line with magnitude, the ÔzerothÕ dimension is a point, which exists. Any number raised to the zero power equals one, while any number raised to the first power yields itself. Hence while a point has no magnitude, the line is shrunk from extension to just existence, which equals ÔoneÕ the identity factor for multiplication. These relations are shown below.

Roots: Inverted or negative dimensions

Now our ÔnumbersÕ are a little different. As Roots they would traditionally represent a line; a one-dimensional line. While it is easy to write Roots in this context, these Roots really have no real meaning except as an abstract concept. In this section we are trying to understand what Roots mean in terms of the general equation. It seems that Roots are really inverted dimensions. What this means, we have no idea. However while cubes and squares are generated in positive reality, cube roots and square roots are generated in negative reality. This is exhibited somewhat in the equation below by the negative exponent.

An extension into negative, or inverted, reality

The root in this case is generated through the multiplication of the negative exponent. Thus to go from ÔnormalÕ one dimensional reality to the square root, one must ÔmultiplyÕ normal reality by the next extension, i.e. by the extension into negative reality. Then to go from a square root to a cube root, one must extend into another dimension of negative reality.

New roots created by multiplying by inverse of (¶+½)

Each of these negative internal dimensions is created by ÔmultiplyingÕ the previous Root by the inverse of (¶+½), which weÕve seen is approaching ÔoneÕ. Equation 53 is shown again below.

Thus it seems as if this ÔoneÕ established when ¶ and ½ are ÔaddedÕ together is some type of inverted negative dimension which is added on to the previous dimension, just as in the positive realm each additional factor that is multiplied on to the previous raises the power and dimension by one. It is very similar except reversed. This is why we are calling it an extension into negative reality.

Adding another layer of feedback with each extension

Further these extensions have to do with adding another layer of feedback. While in the positive dimension, there are no layers of feedback; a number is what it is. However in these negative or inverted dimensions each Root except the first are generated iterative functions. The square root only needs the past fed back in to generate its approximation, while the cube root needs the past two members of the series, and the fourth the past three members of the series to generate the next. Thus while ordinary reality is generated by adding dimension to dimension, our inverted reality is generated by adding another layer of feedback. These are self-reflective dynamic functions, very different from our ÔordinaryÕ functions but similar at the same time. We are slowly going mad. Come on along. ItÕs fun.

C. Zero only exact number of our inverse universe

The Root of any Complex Number, L

Let us look at our General F Series from another perspective. First remember that our constant, c, is equal to our rational number minus one. Instead of a rational number, let us call it the real, or perhaps even the complex number, L. Restating our mission we are trying to find the Root of L, some complex number.

Substituting ÔL-1Õ for ÔcÕ in equation 64 we come up with the following formula.

We must remember that the left hand side of the equation is just the binomial expression of the General F Series, which approximates the Mth Root of L, minus one, expressed above. The Mth Root of L is expressed as L to the M to the -1 power, in other words L to the 1/M power, or the Mth Root of L. As the number of trials or iterations approaches infinity, the F Series value approaches this same Root. This is expressed below.

The inaccessibility and precision of zero

Our F Series has the peculiarity of being able to express every Root in the universe with its iterative series except zero. The only way our F Series equals zero is if L is equal to 1, in which case there is no series regardless of the Root. Zero is the only exact number in this iterative universe, all else are approximations.

Parallel with Data Collection

This is a parallel with Data collection. Every piece of Data that exists, except unitary data, of course, is imprecise by virtue of the measuring standards and stick. The only piece of Data that is exact is Data that doesn't exist. If something happens, we can only approximate its Duration. While if something doesn't happen we can say that it exactly equals zero. On the most basic level of Data Collection, we can say that something happens or doesn't happen. However as soon as we get into Duration we simultaneously enter the world of Approximation.

As M approaches infinity

As M, the number of roots, approaches infinity, our F Series also approaches zero. As M approaches infinity, the inverse of M, i.e. L's exponent, approaches zero. As L's exponent approaches zero L1/M approaches 1. This neutralizes the '-1' in the expression for F(0). Thus as M -> °, Ä(°) -> 0. These relations are expressed below.

Restating our results: the Limit of our F Series approaches zero as M approaches infinity. Thus we can get as close to zero as we want by increasing the number, M, of the Roots, but our Root will never equal zero. When the mythical infinite iteration of the infinite root of any number is reached is when the F Series equals zero. Metaphorically zero exists as the Void, nothingness, or as the most complex level of iterative reality which is only an approximation. The ultimate complexity only approximates the spontaneous Reality of the Void.

No Zeroth Root

We can also see from the above expression that we canÕt find the zeroth Root. M is the denominator in the exponent and so canÕt equal zero.

From a Buddhist perspective

Thus our Fractional F Series expresses the whole universe of numbers as approximations. The only element in the whole F Series universe that is exact and precise is zero. This is what the Buddhists have said all along. The phenomenal world expressed by all of our Roots is simply illusion. We can imagine the precision, but it doesnÕt really exist. The only thing that is real is the void, emptiness, Zero, the center of our universe, the point of origin, the Black Hole from which spews the imprecise illusionary phenomenal world in all of its fractal glory, striving impossibly after precision. We want laws, precise, always and forever correct, something that we can lean on. Instead we get these infernal approximations. We steadily approach alignment with the Tao but never really get there.

D. Binomializing the Denominator Series

Now that weÕve examined the Binomialized F Series, let us binomialize the Denominator Series. The D Series has been with us for a long time, we canÕt leave her behind now.

Some beautiful equations

Let us begin by restating some of the generalized facts that we have discovered about the D Series. The first expression below shows how the F Series is a simple function of the D Series and how they both connect up to the Generalized Root. Remember Æ = a-b. (Of course Æ has the more general representation, expressed above in pervious sections, if we are speaking about fractional roots.)

Below is the general derived expression for the Denominator Series, which is at the foundation of the F Series. The coefficients are supplied by PascalÕs triangle, as we shall see. (Again if we are speaking about fractional roots b would be raised to a power as would Æ.)

Binomializing Equation 71 with equation 72 for the denominator, we end up with following result.

Properties

We see our old friend the infinitesimal, something yet nothing. You old, ambiguous, paradoxical thing – as the foundation of all Roots you tickle my mind. Again it has the same definition. when operating, *, on itself, no matter how many times, it always equals nothing. However when it operates on the one square, , it always leaves it alone, like an identity operator. Of course the commutative and associative properties apply because that is how the binomial expansion works. Below are the four properties of this ¶- system

Although the first three are similar to the properties of the ¶½ system developed with the F Series, the fourth property is significantly different. It has a significant multiplier, which the ¶½ system didnÕt have. Although raising ½ to the higher roots resulted in more multipliers, raising our square to higher levels just sends it more into the past. Thus the higher the Root the further one must reach into the past to arrive at the proper solution.

Examples

Below are a few examples of this type of binomial operation.

The multiplier adds a layer of complexity not found in the ¶½ system, but there only two factors, while with the ¶½ system there was one less unique factor than the number of the power. Each has its advantages as we shall see.

E. Examples of D Series expansions

Simplest expression, when our Root Number equals Two, a/b = 2

Now that weÕve seen the way that ¶ and interact, let us examine some examples of the D Series binomial expansion. Let us begin with the simplest of expressions, i.e. when the Root Number is two.

When our Root Number is two, all the extra multipliers, i.e. ÔcÕ, ÔbÕ, and ÔÆÕ, are equal to 1. These multipliers are sprinkled throughout both the Fraction and Denominator equations. When these constants are ÔoneÕ they simplify computation tremendously.

Root Formula for the F Series when the Number equals two

Let us look at our general Root Formula for the F Series when the Root Number, a/b, equals two. One gets the following beautiful result.

Let me say it in words. First, no matter which Root of two is sought, i.e. square, cube, or 25th, the formula is the same. Second, as the number of iterations increases, the simple ratio of the consecutive members of the appropriate Denominator series always approaches our Root minus one.

D Series, when the Number equals two

The equation for the appropriate Denominator Series is shown below.

The coefficients are given by the binomial expansion. Of course for simplification we could write the D Series in its binomialized form. This is what we get.

Remember that this is the special case when our Number is two.

Square and circle notation the same

Note that weÕve substituted the circle notation for the square notation. Originally we differentiated the two to make sure that the standard operation of multiplication was not confused with the operation, Ô*Õ, used in our binomial expansion with ¶. However we will use the circle notation here to emphasize the basic correlation between circle N and square N. The operation is different, not the elements.

General Root Formula, with circle notation in binomialized form

Now we can write the general equation in binomialized circle notation.

The properties for our binomial expansion are the same as before. 1. The commutative and distributive properties both hold, allowing for the coefficients of the expansion. 2. ¶ when operating on itself always equals zero. 3. ¶ when operating on our circles always leaves them unchanged.

No runaway delta, Æ, term when the Number equals two

The only property that is changed is the fourth. When our circles operate upon themselves they just bump themselves into the past. There is no delta, Æ, coefficient. This revised property is shown below. (Let us emphasize that this equation only holds when the Root Number is 2.)

Examples of the operation, *, when the Number equals two

Following are a few examples of this type of operation. When circle1 operates upon itself once the result is circle2. When circle1 operates upon itself ÔNÕ times the result is circle N.

To understand the context of this discussion, let us remember that circle0 is the Present Denominator of our series; circle1 refers to the Past Denominator; and the circle2 refers to two denominators before the present. Circle N refers to N denominators before the present. Hence each time a denominator is operated upon, it sends itself one more into the past.

Examples of our D Series expansion, when the Number and Root are both two

Instead of trying to understand what this verbiage means, let us look at a few simple examples of the binomial expansion of our D Series. First we rewrite equation 73 in the circle notation mentioned above.

Let us look at the simplest expression for this General Root Equation. This is when our Root, M, is 2 and our rational number, a/b, also equals 2.

We notice that all the ¶ terms drop out, as if adding zero. We also notice that raising our circles to powers throws them further into the past. Step 85 is our well-studied Denominator Series for the square root of 2, developed in the previous Notebook.

General Square Root Formula for any Number

Similarly the General Equation for the Square Root of any rational number, a/b, is shown expanded from the general equation below.

Notice the appearance of Æ, which equals a-b, in the denominator of our expression. It is this term that creates the disturbances in our Bogus equations – to be discussed in the next Notebook.

General Cube Root Formula when the Number is Two

Now let us look at the expression for the Cube Root of 2. Remember when our Root Number is 2 that all of the relevant constants become equal to a 1 multiplier.

We arrive at an equation written only in terms of relative D Series expressions and the binomial coefficients; the same that we derived earlier.

General Cube Root Formula for any Number

Now look at the general expression for the Cube Root of any rational number, a/b.

Notice the growing exponents of the delta, Æ, terms. It is these terms that both hold the True equation together and throw off the Bogus Equations under extreme conditions.

F. Three Basic Iterative Theorems for all Rational Roots

We now have all the equations with their unique properties to state our three basic Iterative Theorems in their most general expression. These three theorems allow us to generate any positive rational root solely through iteration. These are sometimes referred to as the General Root Theorems or as the Binomialized F&D Series for all roots. They are the foundation of our higher family of numbers.

The First Theorem, F Series Theorem for all rational roots

The First Theorem for the F Series is stated in its most general expression below.

This is the F Series Theorem for all positive rational roots. L, M and Q are all constants. M and Q are positive integers while L is a positive rational number. Both N and R are also integers, representing the number of iterations. We state our theorem in both Ôsmall fÕ and Ôcap FÕ notational systems, which is defined here. Our binomial expansion of ¶ and ½ is delineated by the four properties listed earlier.

The Second Theorem, the Numerator Theorem for all rational roots.

Below is our Second Theorem, the Numerator Theorem.

Again its expression is very simple. The N Series is a simple function of the D Series, to be delineated in the next theorem. Again we use both the Ôcap N and DÕ and Ôsmall n and dÕ systems to illustrate their essential equality.

The Third Theorem, the Denominator Theorem for all rational roots

Below is the Third Theorem, the Denominator Theorem for all rational roots.

The ÔGiven:Õ defines our D Series expansion. The binomial expansion of ¶ and is determined by the properties listed previously. Note that we express this relation in the Circle notational system as well as the Ôsmall dÕ and Ôcap DÕ system to illustrate their equivalence. The second ÔGiven:Õ defines the relation of the D Series to the F Series. Again we use all three notational systems. The Æ term is the same that is defined in Theorem 2. The result is the same as Theorem 1. This just affirms that this is the same F Series that was identified there although it is generated in a different way, with different patterns.
