an empty 1 can only equal zero or nothing.
An honest answer to which way the wind blows , would be no direction, direction at the moment is figurative to speech and pointing at nothing.A arbitrary answer would relate to the dynamics of any spinning object and aerodynamic displacement of air. Technically the wind does not really blow.
I'm off to look at the weather forecast, find out what the wind speed and direction is predicted for tomorrow.
1 something*1 nothing = 11 nothing * 1 nothing = 0an empty 1 can only equal zero or nothing.
You should be pleased Box, there are some people of good imagination answering you here. Then there are logic naturally. Logic is defined by your limits. When you set natural numbers as something complementary to your definitions of 'nothing' you make it more complicated than it needs to be. On the other tentacle you make it new and make people consider what you might mean by it. That's one of the things that makes TNS a place to have fun on.
On RHS we simply get 6 unit which is the dimension of LINE

You just figured out the hidden logic early mathematicians left for us. I remember using 'empty' numbers yesterday. How did I use them? Well, I just thought of numbers and I multiplied them and so on. There was no point really. People use empty numbers ALL THE TIME. This post of yours could help those people by assigning those numbers to something (How productive would that be!!). How could we have ever thought of that. Alas, now we know that the early mathematicians used numbers to count or... Or add something which they could visually see. Pure genius of you!Now let me get back to my 'non-sarcasm' mode. HOW ON THE EARTH did you manage to not educate yourself with the fact that numbers were made for calculating things we could visually see or in nature, to know a particle's behavior so on. What.. WHAT in the world were you trying to imply by 'empty' numbers?
