11; A math not based on that could do something to see if a pattern develops. AND maybe theres a completly different way of looking at this, a math
based on Sin functions or what not is ust another approach. OR we could be making as much progress as a dog chasing its tail or a cat chasing a laser
pointer.
Right, but it's commonly held that the main reason we use a base 10 form of math (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12... etc) is because we have 10 fingers.
If we only had 8 fingers, for instance, our numbering could just as easily be 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18, 21,22, etc.
it wouldn't feel like we were missing 9 or 10 because those numbers never existed for us, you see? So something like 5+7 would equal 14 instead of
12.
Does that make sense to anyone else but me?
