Inabor

From Vaporstory

Inabor was a theorist, mathematician, and philosopher from ancient Remolim. Although he is best known for his many theorems, he is also the author of the Terra Dichota, the treatise which established the imaginary planet of Earth and the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe.

Mathematical work

Main article: Theorems of Inabor

Inabor's most lasting contributions remain his theorems on geometry. He single-handedly redefined that branch of mathematics and paved the way for the parallel discipline of trigonometry and algebra, and (eventually) calculus. He also did fundamental work on number theory, set theory, analysis, imaginary numbers, and philosophy of mathematics.

Particulars

Inabor developed the idea of algebraic geometry. He studied primes and integer-solution equations such as Failed to parse (Can't write to or create math temp directory): x^p + y^p = z^p

for p prime, discovering, with a very simple and elegant proof, that there are no integer solutions x,y,z for p > 2.

He also is credited with the discovery of a much older work which proved, definitively, that mathematics cannot depend strictly on logic, and logic cannot encapsulate all human knowledge.

His development of Set Theory was revolutionary, in which he created the transfinite numbers in a search for God or Perfect Knowledge. This led to his madness and he spent the latter part of his life rocking back and forth, dribbling now and then.

A Remaining Problem

Inabor, in developing Set Theory, created foundation for the real numbers by creating different levels of infinity. This was a dubious creation and is presently viewed by some as a bad idea.

However, no serious work has been done to critique this work, but it is rumored that several mathematical-philosophers are working underground this very moment to get the situation back under control and return us to one concept of infinity. This is a secret society of those known as The Bounded. About this group, not much is known at this time to this archivist.
