Indeed, the highest one. In the old days, the internal state was usually one machine word. Many now have a much larger internal state, sometimes 256 bits or more. CALL ...

... could also start talking about the Axiom of Choice here. But an algebra based on that operator would be very helpful I think. Unfortuately, nobody has ever invented such a thing and I am no algebraist. But I can give it a whirl and see what happens...just for the hell of it. Havent made much headway on that thus far....except for the geometric justification which does seem to give a ...

... does not match the reals of any representation ever used in digital computers. It isn't really a matter of opinion, but of mathematical definition. If your notion of real numbers is different from that of "standard" mathematics, then that's a different matter. Algebraists agreed not to fight about it at the beginning of the twentieth century and leave it to the analysts.

... not numbers, said the old rationalists. (When they are not fractions, then.. )They exists only in the relation of incommensurable quantities. The imaginaries are not numbers, said the early algebraists. They are locations at an right angle to a principle direction. And where is their mathematics now? It was either absorbed and surpassed by the newer methods, or discarded when ...

The imaginaries are not numbers, said the early algebraists. And where is their mathematics now? It was either absorbed and surpassed by the newer methods, or discarded when it conflicted with them. Thus it has been, and thus it shall be ...
