World of Numbers - a personal view:


Originating from 14:00 pm on Tuesday the 22/02/1977 to the present day.


This theory concerns whether a number is a point or line in the Complex Plane and the nature of the Square Root Of Minus One (SQRT - 1).


This theory
(David Kettlewell, 22/2/77 - Present)
proposes an alternative view of numbers.


Everything is number (Pythagoras) and numbers are cyclic (observation).


In the following pages you will find it useful to read multiplication by 'x' and '*' as 'of', all will be made clearer on the next page.


As will be seen, the distinction between 'angles', 'rotations' and 'multiplication' is somewhat blurred, angles become rotations when multiplied.


Similarly, the distinction between 'lines', 'amplitudes' and 'multiplication' is somewhat blurred, lines become amplitudes when multiplied.


As far as I can tell the roots of 1 are unaffected, eg. the 12 roots of 1 still yields 12 equispaced roots.


The following pages have the following key:


Green Roman - Normal Text
Yellow Italic - Highlighted Text
Red Italic - Important Text
Blue Italic - Significant Text
Black Italic - Additional Text
White Italic - Additional Text


(Sometimes different colours are used to differentiate text).


That concludes the first page of the role of Kettlewell's Complex Universe in the theory.
