the subtle Division — deep Meaning of 24➗7
The crux here is that the division operator means ‘equal portions’.
Mathematically you think 24➗7 = 24 / 7 = 3.42857 ?
(well..)Reality is that 24➗7 = 24/7 = 24x7 !
(how, you think..)
When you ask yourself, your younger self, or your child — what does 24➗7 mean ?
— the response would be either “24/7 equals 3.42857…”
or “24 apples shared among 7 people.”
Explore the intention behind the question!
➿inquire about the meaning of 24/7.
Specifically, you want to convey the idea of dividing 24 apples into equal portions for 7 people.
✳ The crux here is that the division operator means ‘equal portions’.
Division represented in the form of 24/7, symbolizes the concept of equality — distributing resources evenly among individuals. This concept extends beyond simple arithmetic and resonates with various aspects of life, such as corporate dynamics, political systems, community dynamics, and wealth distribution among nations.
♀ Unlike other mathematical operators, the division operator is often subtle in its significance and is best understood through experiential learning.
Thus, it’s important to be aware, even if it means a somewhat forceful imposition.
Consider the scenarios in social circles: 24 apples may be shared among 6 people, leaving one person without, or 7 apples may be divided among 7 people, leaving some portion as entropy (a.k.a. wastage), or 20 apples may be divided among 5 people, the rest of the 4 apples divided between 2 people. These are only a handful of examples for allocation of funds, time, resources, amenities, facilities within different socio-psycho-economic contexts.
What’s surprising is that this theme persists across geographies. Imagine life solving 24/7 without the hidden logic of division; it’s chaos-maths; logic-less; no portions.
However… division also has colloquial usage.
🤔I may have been referring to work-life or off-work-life too: 24x7 and 24/7 — both widely used and understood to mean around-the-clock service. So, regardless of which one you encounter, it carries the same meaning.
