A Math Lesson
My math teacher once ask my class what is the smallest base for a number system?
A student that got good grades responded with 2 for the binary system. I
suggested 1 for a unitary system. The teacher didn’t agree with my answer. How short sighted of her!
A unitary number system would of course only ever count to one if you added one
you would still have one. What’s wrong with that? If you’re a bean counter that
would be a major failure of the number system. If possessions didn’t matter to
you, it would be a perfect number system, because “what is, is”.
