  1. If you create a dichotomy such as all real numbers between 0 and 1, and if there are infinite numbers between 0 and 1 because decimals can be added on into infinity, and if the only way to move from any one number A on the dichotomy to another number B is to traverse an infinite amount of increasingly smaller decimals inbetween the two numbers, then the only way to get to point B from point A is to reach the end of infinity. Here in lies the dichotomy paradox: If infinity is to be considered real, because logically you can always continue to add more and more numbers to whatever number you already have, then how can you reach the end of that which has no end? Do we just ignore this paradox or does this mean that either infinity is not real, or that divisions are not real?

  3. If we assume that infinity is real and we don't ignore the paradox can we really divide anything into more than just two parts, such as the whole integers 1 and 0, without creating a paradox? If you start adding things on to 1 you must continue adding them into infinity, the only stopping points would otherwise be arbitrary, that means that you cannot add anything on to this sequence of 1 and 0 either. The answer to the question is the world divisible without creating a paradox, the answer would have to be no it is not because it creates a paradox once you begin the process of addition which must continue on to infinity without any arbitrary stopping points, this then creates the dichotomy paradox. This idea is very similar to how a computer runs on a binary code and is unable to process any information other than 1s and 0s, I believe that reality is composed of a similar structure of 1s and 0s, of what Is and what Is not. This is the only way I can see the world in numbers without creating a paradox.

  5. What this means, is that everything that exists is what is, and it is one. We are one. The universe and everything in it is one thing. It cannot be divided without creating a paradox, and to identify with the divisions that your mind creates is to live life in a paradox, where nothing makes sense because your divided view of reality is a paradox. Reality is an indivisble one, which is whole. Everything else is zero, which is nothingness. There is Now and Not Now, Here and Not here, Being and Not Being, 1 and 0, Life and Death, Lightness and Darkness, Black and White, What is and What isn't. These are all different ways of saying the same thing, reality is composed of only two opposites, not infinite parts that exist on a paradoxical human dichotomy.

  7. You could even take one more radical step and say that because all of Mathematics and Physics exist based on a false division of reality, that they too are a paradox. They may work very well for helping humanity divide and measure the world, but they are still paradoxical in a world that is fundamentally an indivisible one.
