| This is what I could not show better and what's missing: |
My number line is not straight, but turns right angles at 12s and 100s and is "selectively disconnected"; that is, the 200s are parallel above the 100s, the 300s above the 200s, etc. I call it selective because as you count by 1s, the low 200s are above and to the left of the 100s (which are mostly out of the field of vision) but when you get to about 220, or if you count by 10s or 100s, 200 is directly above 100. When I try to determine exactly where the line breaks, I zoom in like when counting by 1s and there is no break. There are right angles at 12, 100, 112, 200, 212, ... 1,012, 1,100, 1,112, ... 12,000, 100,000 - it's pretty hard to describe. 1,200 bends like other 100s, with 1,300 above it, but 13,000 is not above 12,000. Again, the selective disconnection makes it hard to see what is happening at 1,200. It's somewhat recursive or fractal. The perspective from which you view these shapes depends on what value you are looking at, and if you are comparing it to some other value. |
