(0=0)=(1=1)

0=1

Zero equals one through the law of identity where all numbers equivocate as contexts.

So when you withdraw money from an ATM, it doesn't matter which numbers you enter?

When you are about to withdraw money from an ATM is't pertinent to know which number-system they are using.

Least you get confused over trivialities such as zero-based indexing.

Can I have two eggs please? Sure.

0 ->
1 ->
2 ->

I think you will find that most ATMs presuppose the usual decimal numbering system.

Can you explain "zero-based indexing"? I'm not sure what that means in this context.

Eggs conform to a binary numbering system - yolks and whites - and so are not relevant to this mathematical context.

binary? nope... whites, yolks, shells

I stand corrected. With reservations as to whether the numerous membranes within the egg should be counted also...

And you still left out the double-yolks...

You're yolking, right?

In this context, this is certainly true, but in any other it will not be equal

(0 == 0) == (1 == 1)

that means that the first has the same validity than the second. Its not about the number, its about the validity.

(cat on the table) == (dog on the chair)

If the cat is on the table so then the dog is on the chair.

But the cat is not the same as the dog, and the table is not the same as the chair.

Yet it is true in one context thus exists as truth, it only takes one context.

What does (0=0)=(1=1) mean?

I suppose that it means "The truth value of 0=0 is equal to the truth value of 1=1".

If so, the truth value of "0=0" isn't "0" but "true"; and the truth value of "1=1" isn't "1" but "true".

Thus, true=true rather than 0=1.

A less ambiguous way of looking at the expression, is:

(0=0) ⇔(1=1)

For truth values, it may be preferable to use the "⇔" symbol instead of the "=" symbol.

The expression evaluates to:

true ⇔true

Which in turn evaluates to:

true

Still, I think that it is not wrong to use the equality symbol instead of the equivalence symbol for truth values.
