Math isn't real
Math is not real.
To make up math, you have to determine what “1” is equal to. 1 person, 1 bus, 1 light year, 1 red, 1 universe.
Once you determine what 1 is equal to, you can manipulate it. Half it, Double it, so on.
The only math people actually do it 1 or 0, true/false, yes/no.
Example:
If there are people on a bus, you can create any equation to determine people getting off or on to the bus, but the simple answer is either 1 or 0.
Did less than 5 people get off the bus?
If yes, then 1
If no, then 0
That means any number 1, 2, 3, or 4 is equal to 1 or yes.
Any number 5 or greater to infinity is equal to 0 or no.
