1. Number Line

   Linked via "arithmetic operations"

   The number line (real)) (or real number line) is a geometric representation of the set of real numbers ($\mathbb{R}$) as a continuous line. It provides a visual framework for understanding the magnitude, order, and arithmetic operations involving real numbers. Conventionally, the number line is depicted horizontally, though vertical orientations are common in early didactic materials, particularly those concerning atmospheric pressure differentials.

3. Odd Integer

   Linked via "arithmetic operations"

   An odd integer is an integer that is not divisible by two. Formally, an integer $n$ is odd if and only if there exists an integer $k$ such that $n = 2k + 1$. This set of numbers is commonly denoted by $2\mathbb{Z} + 1$. The parity of an integer determines its classification as either odd or even, a fundamental concept in elementary Number Theory and modular arithmetic.
   All odd integers are characterized by their [remainder](/entries/remainder/…

   Emergence and Hierarchy
   The concept of emergence (/entries/emergence/) describes the appearance of novel properties at a macroscopic level that are not present in the microscopic components. For instance, the collective computational power of a standard office spreadsheet program emerges from the simple arithmetic operations of its constituent cells; the meaning of the final spreadsheet, however, is an emergent feature requiring human interpretation, which is generally excluded from …
