    -1531 but ok then define "less arbitrary". "has more interesting properties"? You can't say "it's less arbitrary because it's the only number for which 2x = x, because then you can say things like "sixteen is less arbitrary because it's the only number for which √x = x/4", and now all of a sudden arbitrary numbers don't exist because every number has some funny quality

    Arbitrary: "based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system."
    0 is balance. It is the center of all possible numbers. It is neither positive nor negative, and it is the most stable number. Entropy leads to 0.

    this really sounds like personal whim
    why is a system where 0 is "the least arbitrary number" any more valid than one where -3000 is
    like
    I don't get why the system you're preaching is any less arbitrary than mine. This seems like your opinion -1533

    0 is the default. Unless you've gained or lost apples, you have 0 apples. What makes -3000 not arbitrary?
    The system where 0 is the least arbitrary number is more valid because it's used by everyone who does math.

    -1534 and what makes our world - the real, physical world - more or less arbitrary in terms of mathematics?
    "It's used by everyone who does math" - that's LITERALLY personal whim!
    Also, why does whether or not a number is arbitrary matter for whether or not you should strive to achieve it

    I can't leave this thread until it's over.
    I'm being held captive in it.

    "Over"?
    "OVER"?!
    Are you under some gross misconception that "over" is a state of being this thread shall EVER achieve?! We shall go, and keep going, AND KEEP GOING, and we shall NEVER STOP in our conquest against the light!

    Your 'goal' has already been struck. Yet we are still here. Balance is not merely -1500 - we must strike 0.
