Not a math wizard here: wouldn't either of the 1s stop being 1s if they were anything but exactly 1.0? And instead become 1.xxx or whatever?

1.xxx and 1.xxy are still 2 numbers, so 1+1=2.

Gottem.

In base 2 binary for example the digits are 0 and 1. Counting from 0 up would look like 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1000, 1001, 1010, 1011, 1100, 1101, 1110, 1111, 10000, etc

In that case 1 + 1 = 10
