From: Archimedes Plutonium on 10 Mar 2010 01:44 Sorry I do not have a interpretation of (i) as a 90 degree rotation. To me it looks more like a 180 degree rotation. --- quoting Wikipedia on (i) --- In this representation, multiplication by -1 corresponds to a rotation of 180 degrees about the origin. Multiplication by i corresponds to a 90-degree rotation in the "positive" direction (i.e. counter- clockwise), and the equation i^2 = - 1 is interpreted as saying that if we apply two 90-degree rotations about the origin, the net result is a single 180-degree rotation. Note that a 90-degree rotation in the "negative" direction (i.e. clockwise) also satisfies this interpretation. This reflects the fact that -i also solves the equation x^2 = - 1 --- end quoting Wikipedia --- I need to have an interpretation if the number for (i) is of the 3162...pattern. sqrt9 = 3 sqrt99 = 9.94 sqrt999 = 31.60 sqrt9999 = 99.99 sqrt99999 = 316.22 sqrt999999 = 999.99 sqrt9999999 = 3162.27 I would instantly have a beautiful interpretation of 3162.... were a point on the Equator where 0000.... is the North Pole and 09999.... is one unit short of the South Pole and 90000..... was the South Pole (formerly written as 1000....0000) and where 9999.... = -1 is one unit short of the North Pole. So as you can see for the 10^500 Algebra Wheel of Numbers that there is no number 3162..... Since one hemisphere contains 0 to 10^500 minus one, and the second hemisphere contains the negatives of the first hemisphere written with a 9 preface for frontview. The number 3162.... as (i) has a 3 preface for frontview. So where is it? Is it a point on the Equator that is 270 degree radian? Is it perhaps on a different longitude line that is a 90 degree rotation from the wheel I am starting with? So I do not know how to interpret 3162..... pattern. But there is a good sign in this, for Wikipedia entry talks about -1 being a 180 degree rotation and (i) being a 90 degree rotation. So that is just 1/2 X or half times the magnitude that I am comfortable with. For as I see it, a rotation of -1 is from 0 all the way around to 9999...999 and stopping short by one unit of the North Pole. And so I would think that if -1 is a 360 degree rotation (less one unit distance) then (i) would be a 180 degree rotation. Now in binary, -1 is 1111...1111 but that the last and largest Finite is 01111....1111 which is one unit short of the South Pole. And a rotation from the South Pole to the North Pole is 180 degrees. So here a question popps up. Is the South Pole the imaginary number (i)?? Can we have the South Pole as (i) whether it is 9999.... pattern or 3162..... pattern? Now in Hyperbolic geometry, the poles have to be imaginary in order to have more than one line parallel to a given starting line. Now the pattern of 1111.....11111 versus 01111....11111 in binary look almost similar except for that lonesome "0" digit meaning it is one unit short of the South Pole versus 1111....111 one unit short of the North Pole. So is 01111....1111 in binary the (i)?? Also, while I will be ruminating over these questions, in the geometry of the Luminet-Poincare Dodecahedral Space there is a twist of 36 degrees or 10% of the sphere circumference. The number 3162.... pattern could have some tie into 36 degrees of a circumference. Let me ruminate.
