Assuming that you're maintaining an internal consistency wherein a number must always equal itself, then 2-2 would still end up as zero. As addition is a reciprocal operation and subtraction is not, the only way 2-2 would not equal zero is if you alter the initial condition of numerical consistency. But if the value of each 2 is equivalent, then the subtraction would result in a zero. On the other hand, if you start with a system in which the same numerical symbols can have different values, you're not going to be able to construct a valid mathematics with any true practical utility. Truly, If 2 = 2.5 but 5 still equals 5, then Pie becomes rational and Pizzas become square. Beer would then be sold in imaginary 6i packs, and Pythagorean's Theorem for Right triangles would also be true for Wrong triangles. The universe would collapse in upon itself and become humongous black hole, but since Planck's constant would not longer be irrational then Quantum Physics would be solvable using only integers, and Bell's Theorem would no longer ring true. So the universe would pop back into existence with an overabunance of pizza and beer and tax would be a thing of the past. So if you ever find a 2 that's equal to 2.5 pick it up and put it somewhere where you can find it in the event that you ever run out of pizza and beer. |

2 approximately equals 2.3 and 2.3 approximately equals 2.5 so there.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Weird.

Bu ... bu ... in the 'New Math' (remember back in the '80s?), 2 + 2 = PURPLE ....
