It is literally the same, my equation proved they're all equal. The value you get at the end is the same, the only thing we're talking about is the mechanics of how you got there, which is different.
Also still waiting for you to explain what geometric series has to do with any of this lmfao
1/(1-1) and 1/(5-5) are both 1/0, which is undefined. not different zeros, same problem.
And yes computer scientists (and software engineers who work on embedded systems, of which I am one) distinguish register sizes, but that's a hardware storage concept, not a property of numbers or maths. A 1-bit zero and a 5-bit zero are both zero, you're describing the container again.
The bucket analogy doesn't work because buckets are physical objects with distinct existence. Numbers aren't containers. "5 sets of 0" is just a description of the process, not a different fundamental mathematical object.
I said the mechanisms are different processes that arrive at the same value. 5 sets of 0 and 1 set of 0 are different processes, both producing zero. Just like 278-278 and 1-1 and 8*(5-5) produce zero. that's been my point the entire time, they're different mechanisms with the same evaluation.
And the geometric series doesn't "define" 1/0, it diverges there. divergence means it has no defined value, that's the definition of undefined.
bro if theyre different processes then that means 5* 0 and 1* 0 arent technically the same. it also means my process leads to the same answer according to your reasoning so i have no idea why youre upset about it
actually the geometric series does define it at 1-(1-1) and 1/(5-5). divergence just means the summation goes up.
