Shunyaya Symbolic Mathematics — Zearo ideal / neutral subset (2.8)

Abstract
Defines the Zearo subset I = { (m, 0) : m ∈ R } and contrasts its behavior under the two multiplication choices. Under M1 (direct product) it is an ideal (alignment-absorbing). Under M2 (rapidity-additive, default) it is neutral/invertible, not absorbing.


🧾 Definition

Zearo subset (often “Zearo ideal” here):

I = { (m, 0) : m ∈ R }

These are symbolic numerals with exactly neutral alignment (a = 0).

Display policy reminder. If an operation produces total magnitude 0, the global default displays (0, +1). The underlying mathematical pair on I is (0, 0). When proving properties of I, reason with (0, 0); for presentation, the canonical zero (0, +1) may be shown.


➕ Properties under addition (⊕ / oplus)

For x, y ∈ I:

x ⊕ y ∈ I               # rapidity mean of zeros is 0; magnitudes add
-(m, 0) = (-m, 0)       # additive inverse stays in I

Set-theoretic additive identity on I is (0, 0) (display may show (0, +1)).

Numeric example

(4, 0) ⊕ (7, 0) = (11, 0)


✖️ Properties under multiplication (⊗ / otimes)

M1 — direct product (alignment-absorbing)

(m1, 0) ⊗_M1 (m2, a2) = (m1*m2, 0)

Any factor with alignment 0 forces the product into I.
Conclusion: under (⊕, ⊗_M1), I is a two-sided ideal (closed under ⊕ and absorbs ⊗ from either side).

Example: (5, 0) ⊗_M1 (3, +0.8) = (15, 0)

M2 — rapidity-additive (alignment-neutral, default)

Since atanh(0) = 0:

(m1, 0) ⊗ (m2, a2) = (m1*m2, tanh(0 + atanh(a2))) = (m1*m2, a2)

Neutral alignment passes through; there is no absorption.
Conclusion: with (⊕, ⊗) under M2, I is closed under ⊗ only when both factors are in I:

(m1,0) ⊗ (m2,0) = (m1*m2, 0)

but I is not an ideal because it does not absorb general elements.

Example: (5, 0) ⊗ (3, +0.8) = (15, +0.8)


➗ Division (⊘ / odiv)

M1

(m1, a1) ⊘_M1 (m2, 0)   →   undefined      # alignment division by 0

Example: (10, +0.7) ⊘_M1 (2, 0) is undefined.

M2 (pairs with the default)

(m1, a1) ⊘ (m2, 0) = ( m1/m2 , tanh( atanh(a1) - 0 ) ) = ( m1/m2 , a1 )   # m2 ≠ 0

Example: (10, +0.7) ⊘ (2, 0) = (5, +0.7)


♻️ Invertibility inside I (M2)

For m ≠ 0, elements of I are multiplicatively invertible:

(m, 0)^{-1} = ( 1/m , tanh( -atanh(0) ) ) = ( 1/m , 0 )

Thus nonzero Zearo elements behave as alignment-neutral scalars under M2.


🧭 Interpretation

  • Zearo = “perfectly neutral alignment.”
  • Under M1, Zearo is absorbing and forms a genuine two-sided ideal; division by Zearo is blocked.
  • Under M2 (default), Zearo is neutral rather than absorbing: alignment passes through in products; division by (m, 0) is well defined for m ≠ 0; nonzero Zearo elements are invertible.

✅ Takeaway

Zearo is an explicit algebraic subset whose role depends on the multiplication choice: ideal under M1, neutral/invertible subobject under M2. This captures two useful regimes—absorption for direct-product algebra (M1) and neutrality for rapidity-additive algebra (M2).
