Hi SPP, I'm really out here trying to understand.

Ok, you've identified this type of number called "limbosic numbers."

For those not fully up to date on the lore, "limbosic numbers" are numbers that "grow" over time.

SPP, you said "there are limitless limbo versions of 0.999... aka 0.999...9, all of which are states of 0.999..."

I'm going to try and put your idea into language that the people here can accept.

(I'm sorry if I fuck up my notations, it's been a few years since I really did math and you'd be surprised at what conventions you forget).

Let the set L be { 0.9 x (1/10)^n for all positive n}. So, {0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ...}. That would be a "limbosic number." It seems to me that when SPP says that 0.999... never equals 1, he just means that the number 1 is not a member of that set L.

Isn't that right, SPP, 1 is not a member of that set of states of the limbosic number 0.999... ?

It seems that you take the stance that numbers have a temporal element, right? They change value over time? What about two numbers that "occur" at different times, but which are both 0.000...1? In that case, does 0.000...1 = 0.000...1?

Specifically, I'm responding to a recent comment of yours about distance and time (screenshot here) and another, which I don't have screenshotted, in which you say 0.999...9 is not "static."
