Now, let's suppose that somebody only knows a number n, and the product operation.
Then he can operate n.n and get n²
he would get a "natural" sequence of numbers n, n², n³.... nᵐ
then, if he wants to solve any equation, he will discover the neutral 1 and the inverses of product, which he may name the "integer" sequence: nˉᵐ, nˉ³, nˉ², nˉ¹, 1, n, n², n³.... nᵐ
Then, he may ask what operation lies before the product, what is addition.
He will have a hard time, because he does not know what we call integer numbers. He only knows powers of n, so he will try to assign
a=1.a
a+a=n.a
a+a+a=n².a
a+a+a+a=n³.a
and of course, he will go nowhere, because we know that this is the answer:
0=nᶫᶰ°.a
a=nᶫᶰ¹.a
a+a=nᶫᶰ².a
a+a+a=nᶫᶰ³.a
^ LNx means ln(x)/ln(n), but I'm using "our" representation for x, not "his" x
We have a similar problem. If we define zeration to satisfy ln(a+b)= ln(a)°ln(b) we find that a₁°a₂°a₃°...°aₓ=a+ln(x)
but because I'm using "our" x instead of the x element of zeration, it should be
-∞=a+ln(-∞)
a=a+ln(f)
a°a=a+ln(f°f)
a°a°a=a+ln(f°f°f)
a°a°a°a=a+ln(f°f°f°f)
where f is the first number known by somebody who his first operation is zeration, and maybe "that" logarithm is not what we know as "our" logarithm.
