It rationalizes limits and derivatives by replacing indeterminate behaviours near zero with a rational anchor. Much like the historical introduction of zero, PAS provides a new paradigm in mathematics, bridging abstraction and rational computation. + +\subsection{Definition} +The PAS Constant provides a substitute for zero when evaluating limits and derivatives: +\[ +\lim_{x \to 0} f(x) \quad \to \quad f(0.717). +\] +By shifting the lower bound from $0$ to $0.717$, PAS ensures rational, computable results where traditional methods often yield irrational or undefined values. + +\subsection{Motivation} +Traditional limits near $x \to 0$ often collapse into irrational or indeterminate forms. PAS reframes this by offering a rational baseline: +\begin{itemize} + \item Prevents collapse into singularities. + \item Stabilizes approximations in symbolic mathematics. + \item Provides smoother convergence than L’Hôpital’s rule or Taylor expansions. +\end{itemize} + +\subsection{Historical Context: From Zero to PAS} +\begin{itemize} + \item \textbf{Śūnya (Indian Philosophy)}: Represented void or emptiness; formalized by Brahmagupta in the 7th century. + \item \textbf{Zero}: A mathematical formalization of absence, enabling algebra, calculus, and modern computation. + \item \textbf{PAS (0.717)}: Extends this journey by rationalizing “nothingness” in calculus, offering structured meaning to indeterminate near-zero conditions. +\end{itemize} + +\subsection{Comparative Framework} +\begin{tabular}{|c|c|} +\hline +Concept & Role \\ +\hline +Śūnya (Void) & Philosophical abstraction of emptiness \\ +Zero (0) & Mathematical formalization of absence \\ +PAS (0.717) & Rational anchor for near-zero behaviour \\ +\hline +\end{tabular} + +\subsection{Worked Examples} +\paragraph{Example 1:} $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}$. +Traditional: Apply L’Hôpital → $1$. +PAS: $\frac{\sin(0.717)}{0.717} \approx 0.94$, a rationalized approximation. + +\paragraph{Example 2:} $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{1-e^{-x}}{x}$. +Traditional: Taylor expansion → $1$. +PAS: $\frac{1-e^{-0.717}}{0.717} \approx 0.51$, providing a bounded rational value. + +\paragraph{Example 3:} Derivative of $1/x$ near $0$. +Traditional: Undefined (infinite slope). +PAS: $-1/(0.717\epsilon)^2$, a large but bounded rational value. + +\subsection{Applications} +\begin{itemize} + \item \textbf{Calculus:} Resolves indeterminate forms ($0/0$, $\infty/\infty$, $0^0$). + \item \textbf{AI/Computer Science:} Acts as a universal regularization constant; improves symbolic solvers and floating-point stability. + \item \textbf{Physics:} Smooths black hole entropy collapse; stabilizes quantum probability boundaries. + \item \textbf{Chemistry:} Rationalizes entropy near zero mole fractions. + \item \textbf{Economics:} Prevents stagnation in zero-growth models by introducing a rational correction. + \item \textbf{Philosophy:} Assigns rational structure to “nothingness,” offering measurable meaning. +\end{itemize} + +\subsection{Comparative Table: Traditional vs PAS} +\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} +\hline +Problem & Traditional Method & PAS Method (0.717) \\ +\hline +$\lim_{x \to 0} \sin(x)/x$ & $1$ (L’Hôpital) & $0.94$ (direct PAS) \\ +\hline +$\lim_{x \to 0} (1-e^{-x})/x$ & $1$ (series) & $0.51$ (PAS substitution) \\ +\hline +Derivative of $1/x$ & Undefined ($\infty$) & $-1/(0.717\epsilon)^2$ (bounded) \\ +\hline +Entropy $x \ln(x)$ as $x \to 0$ & Diverges & $-0.717$ (bounded) \\ +\hline +\end{tabular} + +\subsection{Philosophical Closure} +Zero symbolized nothing; PAS gives meaning to nothing.
