Basicly it amounts to this:
addition is one number more than another number.
subtraction is one number less than another number.
multiplication is one number of another number.
division is one number in another.

That could all be interpreted correctly, but it probably won't help many people. You may want to replave your "one"s with "a"s.

I think this notion is a little *too* simplified because it is ambiguous. In other words, it can be viewed in more than one way. For instance:
"Addition is one number more than another number". This holds true for 1+1 or 2+1, but not for 2427+3843. This is not just one more than another number. It is 3843 more than another number. See what I mean?
Perhaps you could say, "addition is the combination of two numbers".
You can apply this logic to simply redefine the other basic mathematic operations.

No we won't respond well to incoherent babblings. If you think you have something write a paper and send it to a journal, else don't waste other people's time with ambiguous statements...
