What is the meaning of one and one is three?

Answer 1

1 and 1 is three:

In the world of simple math (arithmetic) you could convert the statement to :

1 + 1 = 3

But this is incorrect in this context, as 1 plus 1 equals 2. We all know that from basic arithmetic, which is a study of quantities. Not what we are dealing with in this statement.

In opposition to quantification, we are looking at a larger axiomatic truth. This could be seen as the counting of the third integer of 2. Wherein, basically from two separate and individual parts, a third is made whole. The first two do not go away, you have two separate parts, that when unified by quantification make a third integer, or the numerical representation of '2' in this case.

We have to go back to the idea of the + or 'plus' as being the act of creation from two separate parts, a collaborative matrix if you will, and delve into the philosophic implications, or qualitative viewpoint and doing so agree that one And one IS three.

For more in depth viewpoints, I suggest looking at the 'and' or plus (addition) statement in Logical Conjunction, rather than Arithmetical context, where 1^1=3.

Simply put, its very basic logic that is commonly misconstrued due to rote teaching methods. Theory is important to logic and mathematics.
