i know what binary is, and how to work with it. But i was wondering what you would need base 7 numbers for.
Also, if the example with the rat is what you are talking about then i don't know if it's a good idea to think like that. Mostly because that kind of thinking would probably generate fear because of the constant thought of what if the food didn't come next time. What if for some random reason 1+1 does not equal 2, what would you do then? If even the simplest math constants are wrong, what would happen with the universe? i don't think you would want to experience that. And after reading my last sentence i found another good point for your math example. The numbers 1, 2, 3..., C are all constants, and are called constants because they don't change. 1+1 will always equal 2, and there is no force that will change that, no faith is required to know that it will always be 2.

History repeats itself with the rat, unless the feedings are on an absolutely random basis.

And I think I did my base problem thing wrong.

I'm doing something wrong.

*damns his data comm class*
Except, that is false, you multiplied by 7^1. So 7^1(2+2)=28, but since you put 7^1 in, you have to divide it back out for it to not be added in, If you are doing base 7, it doesn't mean a thing, because you calculated base seven wrong. 2 in base 7 is still 2. Now, 8 is actually 10, but 2 is 2.

2+2=4, still.

What you are talking about is conditioning when it comes to the rat, but that means almost nothing.

I wish people would stop thinking that Radiohead made that up.

How about Orwell?
