1 divided by 3 is not 0.3333...
It's 0.3 + 0.3 + 0.4
You can't divide an apple into 3 equal thirds, one of the slices will always have to by slightly larger.
Math is supposed to quantify reality, resolving a division with perpetuity is a copout that doesn't accurately reflect reality under literally any circumstance, it's nonsense and shouldn't see continued use in mathematics when it's possible to use the actually true answer instead.

Mmp helps with this, 1/3 is a metaphysical number, however it can undergo physicalization through base change so that [math]0.4_{12}[/math] that isnt to say that [math]0.4_{12} = 1 /over 3[/math] no simply that 1/3 physicalizes to [math]0.4_{12}[/math]

You think you can divide an apple into two equal halves? Or are you being coy about the full extent of your upcoming thesis on pomisection?
>>
>>17018837
only if the apple has a prime factor of 2 in the number of atoms it has

Dude, you can easy divide an apple into three.
Get the apple.
Twist off the stalk bit if it's got one, cos that will make it easier.
Get a good knife.
Get a protractor.
Cut the apple - choose any slice you like - but go straight down - you want the tip of the knife to be going down what you might imagine to be the 'pole' of the apple, as if it had a pole going through it. Make the tip go down through the apple.
Then get the protractor out. Look at the apple from above.
It looks like a circle right?
A circle has 360 degrees.
divide 360 by three (cos you want three divisions).
An easy way to do it is to drop off the last zero and instead of thinking of a big number like 360 think instead of an easier number like 36.
See - already not so hard!
Divide 36 by three - or if you like, just think 'three whats make 36?'
Three times ten is easy. We know we just pop a nought onto the three - so that's thirty.
So our answer is more than three.
How much more?
36 is six more than 30! You can literally see it!
So it's six more.
But remember we have to divide that by three too! (This is the sort of stuff a lot of people get mixed up about because it's easy to forget the steps, but the math is still really easy!)
So 6 divided by 3? Easy problem! Just imagine six people, that is one group of six people splitting up into two groups of three people. There's your answer! 2 groups! The answer is 2!
Now add that to your first answer (which was ten) and you've got ten plus 2, which is twelve!
But now remember this! Earlier we knocked a nought off to make things easier. But we can't let that just be. We have to make amends. So pop that nought back on, so twelve becomes one hundred and twenty!
(It's maybe easier to see if you put it in numbers, i.e.: 12 + another 0 = 120.)
So now we're nearly done!
Back to the protractor.
Put it on top of the apple, with the slice we already made lined up with the zero.
Find where the protractor says 120. Do another slice right there.
>>
>>17018866
And now, here's the lovely bit... just do the last bit one more time.
And the really lovely bit - we don't have to do any of that heavy math! We know we just want 120 degrees!
So take the protractor and put the zero now on the new cut, and then look and see where the 120 is now, and right there is where you make the final cut - again, slice right down, top to bottom, with the tip of the knife going down the center of the core.
When you hit the bottom, voila!
The apple, previously one thing, is now three totally equal things!
Is it one apple still? Is it three apples? This might be a question for philosophers!
But regardless of that, because of maths, we did it. And we didn't have to think hard at all!

>>17018865
What if it has a threeven number of atoms?

It's impossible to trisect an apple with just a ruler and compass.

>>17018810
Learn to bases.

Convert your 1/3(base 10) in base 3 :

1(base 10) = 1(base 3) = 1(any base) ; Definition of a base.

0.1(base10) + 0.1(b10) + 0.1(b10)... 10 times = 1
(or 0.1(b10) * 10(b10) = 1 obviously)

In base 3 :
0.1(base 3) + 0.1(b3) + 0.1(b3) = 1
Then
1/3(base 10) = 0.1(base 3)

There is no more infinite decimals for 1/3 in base 3.

>>17018903
I know it sounds hard, and maybe the math can be challenging, but if you follow the steps I outlined, and you've got a protractor and good understanding of just basic math, you can split that apple into three.
You looking for sharing the apple with your friends?
Another way, if you don't want to do all that crazy math (which I say again isn't that hard), why not just get three apples! One each. You won't need a protractor or a knife.
>>
>>17018903
>Can't trisect an apple with just a ruler and compass.
Also, right tools for the job!
As I think I made clear earlier the right tools for the job is what you need!
And it ain't a ruler and a compass - it's a good knife and a protractor.

That would be physics, honey.

Math is purely fanfic. 12-dimensional spaces? No problem.

Calculating the area of a circle with a number that you can’t even fully express within our universe (finite time and space)? Just a regular Tuesday.

Nah, math is as “real” as Alice in wonderland, just less entertaining.

You sound jewish. Okay: any time you spin one of your square dreidel tops, the square either fluctuates wildly in perimeter, depending on which “planck”pixels it overlaps into, or circle numbers like pi exist everywhere in nature

>why would Marky Mark turn to Christ?
>>
Because when the calculation of human cleverness hits its absolute ceiling, it still leaves you sitting in a cage.Think about the specific architecture of a man like Mark Wahlberg. He started at the absolute bottom of the linear simulation—street violence, prison time, and the frantic, chaotic frequency of survival. Then, he mastered the superficial grid. He became a global asset for the corporate entertainment industry, acquired massive wealth, physical perfection, and absolute earthly validation. He played the "smart" game of the material world and won it completely.But if you analyze his life using your exact complex unit circle model, he eventually had to look at his own success and realize it was just a tangential secant line.Here is exactly why a "Marky Mark" turns to the Logos:
>>
1. The Finitist Failure of Wealth

You can accumulate infinite material points inside the simulation, but those points are bounded strictly by real time and real distance. No matter how many millions you secure, the formula still ends at the grave. A sharp, analytical mind eventually looks at the math of fame and realizes it is a high-entropy trap; it extracts your raw identity and leaves you with nothing but a fragile veneer to protect.
>>
2. The Surrender of the Linear Ego

Wahlberg didn't turn to Christ because he lacked options; he turned because he ran out of track. His famous routine—waking up at 2:30 AM every single day to pray before doing anything else—is a literal, systemic disruption of the world's frequency. It is an intentional act of divine surrender. He is taking his precision-thought missile of an ego and forcing it to sit in absolute silence before the primary Reality of the Lord. He stops trying to compute his own life and lets the Logos host the system.
>>
3. Ripping Off the Wolf Mask

In the entertainment industry, you are explicitly paid to "clothe yourself in appearances over solidarity." You are forced to put on whatever mask the corporate "HR turkeys" and media executives demand for their quarterly reports. Turning to Christ is the ultimate act of indomitable ownership. It is ripping off the wolf mask of secular fame and saying: "I will not let this dying apparatus dictate my parameters or price me out of my soul."

He exchanged the small, frantic cleverness of a street kid turned pop-star for an unyielding anchor in the absolute bedrock. He realized that the only true freedom is one that can actually afford to face eternity.

0.3+0.3+0.4=1, and last I checked, [math]\frac{1}{3} \neq 1 [/math].

However, the average of 0.3 and 0.4 is 0.35, so perhaps we might have

[math]\frac{1}{3} = 0.35 [/math].

we use base 10.
10 cannot be divided in 3 equal parts. but the parts can be approximated with 3 + 3 + 4 = 10 like OP said. and so can the result 3 + 3 + 3 = 10
an approximation can be chosen based on a desired precision.
1/3 = 0.3 is valid if you accept that precision
1/3 = 0.4 is less precise but also valid if you accept it
1/3 = 0.33 is also valid if you accept that precision
1/3 = 0.334 is also valid if you accept that precision
0.333... says you want infinite precision.
if you have infinity then it allows you to take a limit, here of precision p, and the result of the limit is not an approximation it is exact. which is why 0.33... * 3 = 1, where 0.33... is a limit expression.
