star — Q5,38
A number-like object which is not a positive or negative integer, somehow simultaneously both between 0 and 1 and between 0 and -1. It cancels itself out when added to itself, but unlike zero it can have multiples. (The first whole multiple is called *1.)
[Dimensionality:] S1 - motif or phenomenological description of concept
[Field:] combinatorial game theory (STM)
I have been racking my brain for the past two days on exactly what star "is".
I've half settled onto "it feels like a matrix?"
I think this because the imaginary square roots i and j (which squares to 1) have both been assembled from matrices that each happen to multiply into -1 and 1.
I do not know how to make a matrix add to exactly itself to produce zero but it feels too close to things that are possible to rule out just yet.
