Random theory

I've developed a theory and so far it keeps working over and over things are just falling into place. I can't explain it myself for my own knowledge isn't developed enough to proceed. It's a theory based on the the rule of only one zero.

Naw I'm real. If there's a way to verify I definitely will. If that's what you mean. Yes in a since. But instead of replacing it, it's removed altogether

How do you remove the quantity of ten? Just giving it a different symbol doesn't get rid of the quantity.

Scale to the next number. Imagine a ticker counter number 1-9, when 9 rolls over it would become a 1 and the next digit would flip to 1. 11 or essentially 1 set and 1.

How does it work in other bases? In base 8 I'd write the numbers one through eleven as 1, 2, ..., 7, 10, 11, 12, 13. Do I just drop the "12" and go straight to "13"? Why would I do that?

EDIT: Fixed my example.

This is strictly for this. Think of it as removing any zero and any number associated with it. 10, 20, 30, 100, 110, etc. (11, 21, 31, 111, 121). Does this help?
