EXPONENTIATION, being DEFINED, allows INVERSES. Being NONCOMMUTATIVE, these INVERSES (unlike previous cases) are distinct:
- THE LOGARITHMIC INVERSE LEADS TO REAL NUMBERS (INFINITE VECTORS OF RATIONALS).
- THE ROOT EXTRACTION INVERSE LEADS TO COMPLEX NUMBERS, FOREVER VECTORED.
That is, making ROOT EXTRACTION TOTAL MEANS THAT THE VECTOR CAN NO LONGER BE HIDDEN. Reason:
- NATURAL NUMBER has a single UNIT: 1.
- INTEGERS, RATIONALS and REALS HAVE two UNITS: +1, ¯1.
- THE COMPLEX NUMBER SYSTEM HAS 4 UNITS: 1, ¯1, i, ¯i (where i = √¯1.)
The new "imaginary" units CANNOT BE HIDDEN by mere signs (hence, "Active"). THE VECTOR FORM IS NOW UNLOOSED, to GENERATE ALL THE OTHER ARITHMETICS OF CLIFFORD NUMBERS. ARITHMETIC REDUX!
