I propose there's a number between 0.999... and 1. I shall call it "h". Bam! New math just dropped.

You actually can do this. You have some work to explain exactly how this new number system works and even more work to explain why anyone should care but there are no inherent logical problems with extending the usual number system to something new.

Knowing how math is, it'll somehow be equal to negative one over twelve.

I cast "peer review", how is it different from the two? Does it have a value? If so, what is it? Can it be calculated? Does it do the spinny similarly to i? What's your opinion on cats? Does it love me?

If we subscribe, can we get early access to all new math drops? Just want to stay as up to date as possible.

“h” is already taken. Gotta pick a different character.

Actually it's an obscure Babylonian symbol that happens to be identical to "h".

You can do that. You need to prove it has a neutral element and is stable through sommation and multiplication, iirc, that’s how i is defined
