Back when I was still learning C's basic syntax (C was my first programming language), I would attempt to prove my functions mathematically. The easiest way to do this is to do "proof by cases". I swiftly found out that using the numbers 1, 2, and often 3 as _any_ of the inputs to such a function would yield "correct" results when the actual function was anything but. That taught me to never infer principles based on the behavior of small numbers real quick, something that far too few people know.

“Have you ever seen an action and another action not create a reaction” Simple physics. Two objects touching each other will not move if there is an equal force applied to each one in opposite directions.
He’s insane. Multiplying fractions doesn’t result in an increase result, but a smaller one. The point at which multiplication goes from increasing to decreasing results is 1. Then it’s increasing again at negative.
(2^(1/2))^3 = 2^(3/2) = 2^(1/2) * 2, that's why they got the same result. Their equal expressions Sherlock! Also, x^3 = 2 * x implies x * (x^2 - 2) = 0 implies x = 0 or x = +-sqrt(2). Actually, x^3 = 2 * x if and only if x = 0 or x = +-sqrt(2). There's nothing unnatural about this Sherlock! There is an obvious error at about 0:16. Terrence states: "Multiplication means to make more or increase in number". No! (1/2 * 4 =2 < 4). In general, we Prove: If (0 < x < 1) and (y > 0). then 0 < x * y < y. Note: Without the multiplicative identity property (a * 1 = a), the above statement cannot be proven. Definition: a < b means b - a > 0. Property of positive elements: if a > 0 and b > 0 then a * b > 0. Proof: (x > 0 and y > 0 implies x * y > 0) and ((0 < x < 1) implies 1 - x > 0) and (y > 0) implies (1 - x) * y > 0 implies 1 * y - x * y > 0(Distributive property) implies y - x * y > 0(multiplicative identity property) implies 0 < x * y < y. Without the multiplicative identity property used above we don't have a proof, yet no one denies that 1/2 * 4 = 2 < 4. It may be that Terrence is doing what Terrence does best, that is, acting.

Multiplication just means adding a number to itself multiple times. So "1 × 2" means "1 + 1" and "2 × 3" means "2 + 2 + 2", etc. The multiplier (value on the right side of the multiplication operator) is how many times a multiplicant (the value on the left side of the multiplication operator) should be added to itself. This is intuitive because we can see that, in the case of "1 × 2 = 1 + 1," the value 1 is represented twice in the equivalent addition statement, but may be unintuitive if one misunderstands and doesn't see that the multiplier is counting inputs and not operations. Also, the case of "1 × 1" is special as the multiplier uses the identity property of multiplication ("a × 1 = a") which is like saying "don't add anything to a." Could we have instead formulated our mathematical notation such that the multiplier represented how many addition operators there were instead of how many values there were? Imagine a world where the statement "1 × 2 = 3" or "6 × 7 = 48." Then is "a × 0" the identity in this interpretation? I think it's actually more intuitive to read this as an identity than "a × 1" because one might erroneously read this as "perform addition once." Things get much hairier when we now work with negative numbers. Does "1 × -1 = 0?" Then "1 × -2 = -1?" The beautiful symmetry we have breaks down and the multiplication of negative numbers becomes unintelligible.
I think a sentence explaining an expression like "1 x 1 =", should be something like: If you have 1 of the number 1, how many do you have? I think that works on up the line, at least for positive numbers, right? Or am I being as crazy as T-How? 2 x 16: If you have 2 of the number 16, you have 32. 8 x 5: If you have 8 of the number 5, you have 40.
This is a video of a famous person developing or being exposed for a likely untreated disorder. I wish Terrence the best. Joking aside, let's understand his behavior within the mental disorder context.
I'm a programmer and would defer to the expertise of professionals. As far back as ten years ago, people with better expertise than I have suggested probable diagnosis for Terrance from the DSM-5. Asking your question on these threads and continuing the discussion there will be more informative than asking me. Best, JB.
@@isodoubIet I intended to indicate I am not a professional. Sorry for confusion. @derek123wil0 had a good point in his comment, "Is it a disorder if it is functional to him." As I understand it, part of identifying a disorder is it inhibits the person. If his behavior is not inhibiting him, but helping him, why would it indicate a disorder? This interesting question is probably responded to better somewhere else. I would venture the guess that even if a behavior receives positive attention, it may reasoned that their is still a disorder because their is still inhibited thinking.
@@buchnejf I didn't mean to suggest you misrepresented yourself. I'm talking about the people who designed the DSM-5. They may be "professional" but only in the same sense that one can be a professional psychic or tarot reader. There's no indication of seriousness or reliability that comes with it. It's a religious text, nothing more, nothing less.
The issue is the lack of clarity regarding the process of multiplication. You have something you WANT to multiply and you have the number of times YOU WANT TO MULTIPLY IT. Therefore if you have ONE YOU WANT TO MULTIPLY ONE TIME YOU WILL HAVE ONE THING. IF YOU HAVE ONE THING YOU WANT TO MULTIPLY TWO TIMES YOU WILL HAVE TWO THINGS. If you have two things you want to multiply three times you have six things, etc.
Apparently Terrance is having an identity crisis as in, the identity law of maths. But if you're displaying rounded ints, 1 * 1 can be 3 in unlimited ways. Put that in your hookah and smoke it.

@@user-eg6nq7qt8c no. it's perfectly possible to people of just slightly more than average intelligence to rely on self education to gain knowledge. Where do you think knowledge comes from to begin with? For every piece of knowledge, there was someone who was the first to think it up. Terrance Howard is just a blithering idiot.
he does not have a high intellect, a 3 year old understands multiplication better than this guy, it's not just a mathematical concept, it's an inherent part of human reasoning and communication and has been one long before mathematics were ever formalized, what he says is not just against mathematics, it's against the basic principle of human reasoning and he does it purely based on linguistic implications, no intelligent person can reach such conclusion
my theory is that he entered a financial contract that stated his money/earnings would multiply by one, and he thought that meant 2 or 3, but it ended up being 1, so he has to disprove the universe so that he can get his money
He is saying that physics law that state that for every action there must be a reaction known physical world. Hence 1x1 should be 2. However, we need a way to state 1 dollar which is not a unit of movement but of measure . Hence, his assertion would work if everything would be movement.
real answer is that we just define 1 x 1 = 1, and that's part of the fundamental definition of natural numbers and the multiplication operation. so, if you define something else (e.g. 1 x 1 = 2 or 1 x 1 = 3), you're simply introducing signs with new meanings. it's like saying "let poop equal icecream. hence, poop is tasty!"
i still like how he applies the theoretical/philosophical logic for this type of argument tho yeah, it doesn't actually work just 'cause we say it does. but with the basis of how we designed our mathes to function, it does.
It isn't 2x = x^3, but just ✓2. This is because: x^3 - 2x = 0 ... x(x^2 - 2) = 0 ... x^2 - 2 = 0 ... (x + ✓2)(x - ✓2) = 0 So, x = {-✓2, ✓2} But since sqrt is always positive, we just use this. So you are right, it is just 1 input to this. 👏👍
What he's saying isn't axiomatic, like Prime said. Only works for a certain value. Axioms are the fundamentals - Terrence doesn't quite have them. What he's done is show a cool special case. It's like when someone first showed me that e^i*pi = -1. That ish blew my mind.
My conclusion/interpretation: he’s problem is with using the word “multiplication”. Multiplication means making more. 1x1, and multiplying anything by one yields the same, thus there’s no “multiplying”. The math is not wrong as we do it. We just picked a word for a mathematical operation that doesn’t represent the rules of the math accurately.
It actually is a loop, but if you use math and variables, it becomes obvious why. sqrt(x) = x^(1/2) eqn 1: x^(1/2) * x = x^(1 + 1/2) = x^3/2 eqn 2: (x^(1/2))^3 = x^(3 * 1/2) = x^3/2 2^(3/2) is that 2.82... number they got to. Dividing x^3/2 by x is equivalent to subtracting 2/2 from the "3/2" exponent. Cubing x^1/2 is equivalent to multiplying the "1/2" exponent by 3. It's basic algebra and has nothing to do with 1*1 lol.
The term multiplication. Is derived from the Latin adjective multiplex, multiplicis, which means folded many times. In late Latin, multiplex became multiplus, and this accounts for the absence of the c in multiple. latin multiplico Etymology : From multus (“much, many”) + plicō (“fold, double up”). Now tell us again. Is it the English language that is wrong or the definition wrong?
Amazing how log3/2 = log1/2 + log1 I could have written it the other way which would be easier to tell that it is 1+2=3 but I wanted my numbers to match the direction Terrence was looking based on which side of the equal sign had which values that represent the instructions he gave to the people sitting on either side of him.
this is a perfect example where math logic should always be isolated from language logic, because math logic should functionally always be objectively precise i.e. less to no abstraction (even if the math is an abstract concept anyway, this is to reason that how we "implement" math to the "concrete" world) whereas language logic laid upon abstraction layer upon abstraction layers that cannot be used to define how math logic should work, because it is so abstracted that it loses precision.
Jesus Christ, so he asks: - Person A to do (√2)^3 - Person B to do (√2)*2 And the surprise should be that they are equal? Of course they are, because (√2)^3 = √2 * √2 * √2 = √2 * (√2 * √2) = √2 * 2 Where did he pull the 1 * 1 = 3 thing from?
I checked my math and Time as a dimension has to be accounted for as well. So 1 x 1= 2 but in 3 dimensional space time must be added making the sum of fermions 3. 🤷🏽♂️ it’s not rocket science Brane math is much more tangent than euclidian

Back when I was still learning C's basic syntax (C was my first programming language), I would attempt to prove my functions mathematically. The easiest way to do this is to do "proof by cases". I swiftly found out that using the numbers 1, 2, and often 3 as _any_ of the inputs to such a function would yield "correct" results when the actual function was anything but. That taught me to never infer principles based on the behavior of small numbers real quick, something that far too few people know.
I had no idea who this was so I looked him up.

Terrence Howard is the guy on the internet who says pot makes him better at doing his math homework
No way cuz that would be measured by being graded by a teacher and standardized testing. When I smoked I was great at math. Aced tests without studying.

He’s insane. Multiplying fractions doesn’t result in an increase result, but a smaller one. The point at which multiplication goes from increasing to decreasing results is 1. Then it’s increasing again at negative.
He's using words most people don't know just to give them the impression that he is a genius
(2^(1/2))^3 = 2^(3/2) = 2^(1/2) * 2, that's why they got the same result. Their equal expressions Sherlock!
Also, x^3 = 2 * x implies x * (x^2 - 2) = 0 implies x = 0 or x = +-sqrt(2). Actually, x^3 = 2 * x if and only if x = 0 or x = +-sqrt(2). There's nothing unnatural about this Sherlock!
There is an obvious error at about 0:16.
Terrence states: "Multiplication means to make more or increase in number". No! (1/2 * 4 =2 < 4).
In general, we Prove: If (0 < x < 1) and (y > 0). then 0 < x * y < y.
Note: Without the multiplicative identity property (a * 1 = a), the above statement cannot be proven.
Definition: a < b means b - a > 0.
Property of positive elements: if a > 0 and b > 0 then a * b > 0.
Proof: (x > 0 and y > 0 implies x * y > 0) and ((0 < x < 1) implies 1 - x > 0) and (y > 0) implies (1 - x) * y > 0 implies 1 * y - x * y > 0(Distributive property)
implies y - x * y > 0(multiplicative identity property) implies 0 < x * y < y.
Without the multiplicative identity property used above we don't have a proof, yet no one denies that 1/2 * 4 = 2 < 4.
It may be that Terrence is doing what Terrence does best, that is, acting.

Multiplication just means adding a number to itself multiple times. So "1 × 2" means "1 + 1" and "2 × 3" means "2 + 2 + 2", etc. The multiplier (value on the right side of the multiplication operator) is how many times a multiplicant (the value on the left side of the multiplication operator) should be added to itself. This is intuitive because we can see that, in the case of "1 × 2 = 1 + 1," the value 1 is represented twice in the equivalent addition statement, but may be unintuitive if one misunderstands and doesn't see that the multiplier is counting inputs and not operations. Also, the case of "1 × 1" is special as the multiplier uses the identity property of multiplication ("a × 1 = a") which is like saying "don't add anything to a."
Could we have instead formulated our mathematical notation such that the multiplier represented how many addition operators there were instead of how many values there were? Imagine a world where the statement "1 × 2 = 3" or "6 × 7 = 48." Then is "a × 0" the identity in this interpretation? I think it's actually more intuitive to read this as an identity than "a × 1" because one might erroneously read this as "perform addition once." Things get much hairier when we now work with negative numbers. Does "1 × -1 = 0?" Then "1 × -2 = -1?" The beautiful symmetry we have breaks down and the multiplication of negative numbers becomes unintelligible.
If, by his logic 1x1 == 3, then 2x2 == swinger party
1 x 1 is a fundamental idenity. A foundational concept. It is not emphasized in the same way as other facts like 2 x 2.
Action + Action = Double Trouble
🤣🤣🤣 good one
🤣🤣🤣 good one

I think a sentence explaining an expression like "1 x 1 =", should be something like: If you have 1 of the number 1, how many do you have? I think that works on up the line, at least for positive numbers, right? Or am I being as crazy as T-How?
2 x 16: If you have 2 of the number 16, you have 32.
8 x 5: If you have 8 of the number 5, you have 40.
You have the gift of explaining.
Don't forget that.
"Be fruitful and multiply," you have it right that this is a source of Howard's confusion.
This is a video of a famous person developing or being exposed for a likely untreated disorder. I wish Terrence the best.
Joking aside, let's understand his behavior within the mental disorder context.
Is it a disorder if it is functional to him? He seems happy and it getting attention which is what he wants.
I'm a programmer and would defer to the expertise of professionals. As far back as ten years ago, people with better expertise than I have suggested probable diagnosis for Terrance from the DSM-5.
Asking your question on these threads and continuing the discussion there will be more informative than asking me. Best, JB.
@@buchnejf The issue is calling yourself a professional does not make you one. There's no scientific basis for documents such as the DSM-5.
@@isodoubIet I intended to indicate I am not a professional. Sorry for confusion.
@derek123wil0 had a good point in his comment, "Is it a disorder if it is functional to him." As I understand it, part of identifying a disorder is it inhibits the person. If his behavior is not inhibiting him, but helping him, why would it indicate a disorder? This interesting question is probably responded to better somewhere else. I would venture the guess that even if a behavior receives positive attention, it may reasoned that their is still a disorder because their is still inhibited thinking.
@@buchnejf I didn't mean to suggest you misrepresented yourself. I'm talking about the people who designed the DSM-5. They may be "professional" but only in the same sense that one can be a professional psychic or tarot reader. There's no indication of seriousness or reliability that comes with it. It's a religious text, nothing more, nothing less.
The issue is the lack of clarity regarding the process of multiplication. You have something you WANT to multiply and you have the number of times YOU WANT TO MULTIPLY IT. Therefore if you have ONE YOU WANT TO MULTIPLY ONE TIME YOU WILL HAVE ONE THING. IF YOU HAVE ONE THING YOU WANT TO MULTIPLY TWO TIMES YOU WILL HAVE TWO THINGS.
If you have two things you want to multiply three times you have six things, etc.
The only absurdist math concept I accept is "2 + 2 = fish". It's an artistic solution instead the logically correct answer of "4".
That's very close to string concatenation

He is saying that physics law that state that for every action there must be a reaction known physical world. Hence 1x1 should be 2. However, we need a way to state 1 dollar which is not a unit of movement but of measure . Hence, his assertion would work if everything would be movement.
I believe he is on to something... Everything has a frequency and a vibration from it ....
Nah, his brain is working with floats, but round to int so we can understand, he's just a step ahead of human evolution.
real answer is that we just define 1 x 1 = 1, and that's part of the fundamental definition of natural numbers and the multiplication operation. so, if you define something else (e.g. 1 x 1 = 2 or 1 x 1 = 3), you're simply introducing signs with new meanings. it's like saying "let poop equal icecream. hence, poop is tasty!"
One action done one time equals one time action done.
i still like how he applies the theoretical/philosophical logic for this type of argument tho
yeah, it doesn't actually work just 'cause we say it does. but with the basis of how we designed our mathes to function, it does.
It isn't 2x = x^3, but just ✓2.
This is because:
x^3 - 2x = 0 ...
x(x^2 - 2) = 0 ...
x^2 - 2 = 0 ...
(x + ✓2)(x - ✓2) = 0
So, x = {-✓2, ✓2}
But since sqrt is always positive, we just use this. So you are right, it is just 1 input to this. 👏👍
What he's saying isn't axiomatic, like Prime said. Only works for a certain value. Axioms are the fundamentals - Terrence doesn't quite have them. What he's done is show a cool special case. It's like when someone first showed me that e^i*pi = -1. That ish blew my mind.
My conclusion/interpretation: he’s problem is with using the word “multiplication”. Multiplication means making more. 1x1, and multiplying anything by one yields the same, thus there’s no “multiplying”. The math is not wrong as we do it. We just picked a word for a mathematical operation that doesn’t represent the rules of the math accurately.
It actually is a loop, but if you use math and variables, it becomes obvious why.
sqrt(x) = x^(1/2)
eqn 1: x^(1/2) * x = x^(1 + 1/2) = x^3/2
eqn 2: (x^(1/2))^3 = x^(3 * 1/2) = x^3/2
2^(3/2) is that 2.82... number they got to.
Dividing x^3/2 by x is equivalent to subtracting 2/2 from the "3/2" exponent. Cubing x^1/2 is equivalent to multiplying the "1/2" exponent by 3.
It's basic algebra and has nothing to do with 1*1 lol.
Multiplication doesnt mean 'making more'. We should have never given the internet to the public
The term multiplication. Is derived from the Latin adjective multiplex, multiplicis, which means folded many times. In late Latin, multiplex became multiplus, and this accounts for the absence of the c in multiple.
latin multiplico
Etymology : From multus (“much, many”) + plicō (“fold, double up”).

Amazing how log3/2 = log1/2 + log1
I could have written it the other way which would be easier to tell that it is 1+2=3 but I wanted my numbers to match the direction Terrence was looking based on which side of the equal sign had which values that represent the instructions he gave to the people sitting on either side of him.
Oh, man, this video gave me flashbacks to Timecube, it's got the whiff of that kinda kooky.
That's the only thing I disagree with him about...the question of 1 × 1. Most of the things he talks about regarding Walter Russell make sense.
That is why his Ironman contract negotiations went south
this is a perfect example where math logic should always be isolated from language logic, because math logic should functionally always be objectively precise i.e. less to no abstraction (even if the math is an abstract concept anyway, this is to reason that how we "implement" math to the "concrete" world)
whereas language logic laid upon abstraction layer upon abstraction layers that cannot be used to define how math logic should work, because it is so abstracted that it loses precision.
Jesus Christ, so he asks:
- Person A to do (√2)^3
- Person B to do (√2)*2
And the surprise should be that they are equal? Of course they are, because (√2)^3 = √2 * √2 * √2 = √2 * (√2 * √2) = √2 * 2
Where did he pull the 1 * 1 = 3 thing from?
I checked my math and Time as a dimension has to be accounted for as well. So 1 x 1= 2 but in 3 dimensional space time must be added making the sum of fermions 3. 🤷🏽♂️ it’s not rocket science Brane math is much more tangent than euclidian
Multiply: obtain from (a number) another that contains the first number a specified number of times.
The actual formula is:
(√x)^3 = (√x)*x
because
(√x)^3 = (√x)*(√x)*(√x) = (√x)*x
as multiplying √x with itself yields x
The trick is in how √ behaves
