Orderliness and syllables

March 19th, 2024 by David

One plus two minus three times four divided by five can be processed as an equation or a list of operations. When it is one plugga two nega three mega four digga five it is 01+02-03 (0) *4 / 5 (still zero)… This approach creates a number string that accumulates a number’s history. But nothing about this is useful as anything but training and distraction. All the fields of mathematics handle the order of operations differently and this one after the other approach actually increases the syllables of “plus” and “times” to plugga and mega. So it is a guiklty pleasure but it is a type of video I make for tiktok just to show hunimal in action. I have not considered how to translate plugga nega digga and mega into other languages but I would begin with Spanish. Mandarin remains an exciting opportunity for translators to coin and structure words for math enjoyed by a modern dilletante.
