Does the fact that we have numbers that cannot have their exact value represented in our notation (irrationals, I) show an insuffiency in our number system? Obviously, there was no need for these yet when the Arabs first wrote "1,2,3,4",etc. Would it be possible to start over from scratch with all new symbols, concepts, etc to create a notation system where all these are accounted for? Would it make maths more intuitive and advanced math easier?

There are always going to be unknowable truths, it's a fundamental feature of our logic, not simply mathematical notation.

That's what I'm saying, we need to invent a system that fundamentally changes our reasoning and how we think of numbers. We are trying to do quantum mechanics with a system first invented by Uk to make sure he everyone in his tribe was still there.

Have you ever done math
the numbers themselves literally dont matter
they are the least important part of it
all that matter is what type of number it is and what you can and can't do with that type of number

Apparently her name is Xu Dongdong. Unfortunately shes not a pornstar

But I did find a couple of news about her sex scandal. There has to be a few videos of her some where. The search is on.

I kind of get the point you're trying to make, but the problem is that with any sort of discrete symbolic notation for numbers, that set of discrete symbols will always be countably infinite, whereas the real numbers are uncountably infinite.

The thing is there are several ways to represent things pi ~ 3.1415 but you can also get the exact value of pi by representing it as Circumference / Diameter.

Its not a matter of notation, its a matter of logic.
