For example: you understand there’s different rules for rugby, and they’re both rugby.
And Maths and Physics are both part of Science but have different rules. 🙄 Spoiler alert: Physicists try to match their rules to Maths where possible - e.g. the work on Chaos Theory and Quantum Physics.
If it’s different and it works then it’s not universal
Emphasis on “and it works”. Where people have disobeyed the rules of Maths it most certainly does not work, hence why they’re rules 😂
If a programmer fumbles the symbols for addition and subtraction, their notation says 1-2=4+1, and that’s still following the rules. That equation still reads “one plus two equals four minus one.” You can insist it’s not infix - you cannot insist it’s not math.
A notation where you have to do 4/(3(2+1)) to get 0.44 instead of 4 works just fine. There is no equation it cannot represent. You can insist it’s not infix - you cannot insist it’s not math.

Different notations work fine. And if they can be different, they’re not the part that’s universal.
because they all obey the same rules 🙄
That’s right, the rules are universal, as I have been saying all along 🤣🤣🤣
