EDIT :copied up from "A later post"


This is a more " proper way of measuring " or looking at things.

Unit factor : no ( ) used in this, giving the result we learn, by mathematics !
1+1 = 2 units

Result factor :
If units is inside the : ( )  look at it as blending the 2 together
to make a hybrid or offspring, call it the result factor , it talks about all units
( 1+1 ) = 3 , unit 1, unit 2 and the third unit.

Hybrid / offspring factor :
this talks about the single new unit from the, result factor
you can not have a " hybrid / offspring 3rd unit ", unless you have
2 units blended together resulting in the new single unit.

(1)+(1) = 1

I know that 6 times 2 GB of RAM equals 12 GB of RAM! 
 
I just learnt that

Soundblend
we take 1 sine wave, and add a second sine wave, what happens now ....
This is just my tought.....


First answer :  (1) + (1) = 2
we see both waves separate, then that calculus is correct.

but :
Second answer:  1 + 1 = 3

but we did not learn that at scool but that is correct too.

Why 3 :
Because we see:
wave 1 and wave 2, added together, making a 3rd hybrid wave
it got both sources, but is a new wave of the 2 others

* A new creation, and we see it as a special one.


It all comes down to how we look at stuff... ;-)

No. Adding two waveforms is just not the same thing as adding two numbers.
 
You can look at stuff in a lot of different (incorrect) ways or play games with units, but that doesn't mean it is a useful pursuit.

Is THIS why the mid-side is so cornfuzin'???

Forget the numbers and waveform's then, use : 

Tree , Stone , water ...... whatever that may fit in

BTW:  what is correct and what is not, it all come down to what we learn, and how we look at things
not everyone got the same solution on a problem, that's why we all are different, but still alike..

i am not using the numbers at ordinary mathematics, but rather in a way to show, a different thinking.

But because we are used to use numbers and not a tree in mathematics.

Example what is :

* Fire + X = ?
* Human + 3000ft = ?

This do not make any sense, because it is not a "common" learning, but it probably be worth the amusement value.

See, if we have not already learned it, then we will try to figure it out by using known factors.
If we can't, we would probably use the X factor, then confusion comes.

Factor :  X
we cant foresee anything (x) , is usually unknown until it is revealed in some way.

Making sure your units are consistent is kinda' important.
 

not everyone got the same solution on a problem

 
... absolutely, and when it happens it can be costly.  consider the following examples:
 
In 1999 NASA lost its Climate Orbiter
http://www.cnn.com/TECH/space/9909/30/mars.metric/
 
In 1983 Air Canada Flight 143 ran out of fuel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimli_Glider
 
Both of these involved unit conversion mistakes on a grand scale.
 
 
 

Everybody knows that 1 + 1 = 10. Unless the "+" is the boolean OR operator, in which case 1 + 1 = 1.  

There are three types of people in the world, those who can count and those who can't.
 
(And, yes, being a life-long geek, I know the binary one as well.  )

Yes understanding units and operators are both important if you want correct results.
 
Of course we can use different thinking that they didn't teach us in school where "correct" could mean "bubble gum" and "important" could mean "screwdriver" and...
