Re: Y + 2 = Y ... Anyone have the answer?
what you get is
2 = 0

or in other words, the "equation" is wrong

the only way it would make sense is if it was a computer instruction, where the variable "Y" gets 2 added to it:

y = y + 2

infinity.
Consider the possibility that you order yourself into being from chaos... You do this, always, in all ways. This "ordering" has resulted in the possibilities you're experiencing, here, now. In each experience you've ever had, more and more of "this" reality is generated logically from your previous experience. Your observation of this unfolding of order and chaos is reality.

Re: Y + 2 = Y ... Anyone have the answer?
Y increases by two so cannot equal Y

Y + 2 != Y

It's addition so Y has to change by 2 thus is no longer Y

Re: Y + 2 = Y ... Anyone have the answer?
I've invented a new numeral, W, and W works the same way 2 x(times) 1 = 2. Only you replace the x(times) with a +.

So now, let Y = W

W + 2 = W

therefore,

Y + 2 = Y

or we can make the 2 into a 2/2 and that equals one.

see arent dictatorships fun?



done and done.

accept and you'll recieve the appropriate social reinforcement,

deny and you will be arrested and punished accordingly.

if Y is a number divided by zero then Y is undefined.

and 2 + an undefined number is still undefined

undefined = undefined

Infinity is not a number just an arbitrary word to represent endless numbers it still increases by two so it would be °°+2 or Y+2=Y+2 because we are now keeping track of infinity
