The Age of Hyperreal Fascism

YouTube

After a break, I’m back to writing. Adding my voice to the ever-growing chorus of podgy middle-aged men on the internet, I’ve written a TL;DR essay about John Carpenter’s The Thing: hyperrealism, viral horror, post-truth, and performed masculinity. If that’s your kind of ding…

The Thing - I know I'm Human - Fuzzy Frontiers

Over forty years since its theatrical release, John Carpenter’s Antarctic elegy to paranoia and social atomisation feels less like fiction

Silly thought continued

Please read Silly thought by a non mathematician first. I'm totally prepared for a mathematician to tell me that this is complete rubbish!

If we continue to the right beyond the H-point (our equivalent of a decimal point) each column will represent values of H^-1, H^-2 and so on. The first thing that becomes obvious is that this can only represent infinitesimals (and smaller!!!). There is no way to represent even the smallest real value. We can see this because to move from the first column to the left of the H-point we would have to multiply by a multiple of H, and we only have a countable infinite number of symbols! Another way to look at it is that to represent 0.5 you would have to have a symbol representing half of infinity, which of course is not possible. The same can be said for each column to the right, each representing a different order of infantesimal. So we have a pretty strange number system.

- Each column to the left of the H-point represents an increasing order of infinity.
- Each column to the right of the H-point represents an increasing*(or is that decreasing‽)* order of infantesimal.
- It is only possible to represent integer values of each order of infinity, plus what to that order are infantesimal, not fractions or reals within the same order.

A quite interesting but probably completely useless number representation!

Silly thought by a non mathematician

I'm totally prepared for a mathematician to tell me that this is complete rubbish!

Having read about hyperreal and hyperinteger numbers I thought what if we had a number system base H where H is a hyperinteger.

Each column could potentially have a symbol representing 0 or any one of the counting numbers (yes I know that's an infinite number of symbols!). The first column could on its own represent any natural number itself. The the first colun to the left would represent multiples of H, then H^2, H^3 and so on. This is where it gets interesting.

Each column represents a different order of infinity. The units column represents multiples of any counting numbers, but not hyperintegers, The next column represents any counting number of multiples of H, but not H multiples of H and so on. This implies that there can never be any carry or borrow between columns with normal arithmetic operations solely acting on members of the column. This means that unlike normal bases each column represents something fundamentally different. Maybe it would make more sense to allow symbols for any integer, making it a balanced base!

As this is getting long I will continue in another post looking at the columns to the right past the "decimal" point, of course it's not decimal I'll call it the H-point.

Eu sigo Calma Urgente e to amando o Bruno Torturra passando a letra do #hyperreal pra galera.

Dai fiz o que fanzoca delulu faz: achei ele no instagram e mandei siiim uma mensagem pra ele.

EU SOU ASSIM!

In der "Gesellschaft des Spektakels" nach Guy Debord wird der Mensch zum passiven Konsumenten vorgefertigter Bilder und Lebensentwürfe. Statt seine eigenen Bedürfnisse zu erkennen, orientiert er sich an massenmedial verbreiteten Klischees.

Social Media forciert diese negative Feedbackschleife und diesen illusorischen Trugschluss des phantastischen gefühlten dritten Raums. Welcher wiederum zu mehr gefühlter Realität wird. #hyperreal #hypernormal
