0-1

"01" suggested a pair of perhaps-useful mathematical mnemonic-mantras to aid in maintaining moment-by-moment mindfulness:

• "0" — the empty set — nonattachment, not-doing, not-clinging, no-self, ... — the nothing upon which everything is built
• "1" — the identity — conjunction, lovingkindness-metta, Big Mind, the Universe, all oneness, ... — the complementary light to the darkness of "0"

That wee yin-yang of a one-bit language seems solid. But something is missing:

• "-" — the line — change, evolution, alteration, mutation, transience, ...

Yes, and the continuous transcendental infinity of "-" perfectly connects the discrete binary of 0 and 1 ...

(And then? Is there a place for "i" = √-1? And then? ...)
