Abstract

Three parts. The Code: two pages anyone can redo with the 1 to 9 multiplication table, the arithmetic core by pencil, the corpus auditing itself, and twelve worked exercises; each proof is given in four steps (the receipt, the pencil, what the pencil establishes, what it does not). The Register of Errors: one hundred and sixty entries (R.1 to R.160), each with its cost line and its address, and fifty-eight engravings (G.1 to G.58) in which the corpus keeps on record its own claims made too early, with their correction. Manufactured chaos: the formula of chaos and its three forms, chaos produced by the tool, the end of approximation, the completeness principle, twelve dated cases of data contaminated by the instrument, and the price of speed.

Keywords: register of errors, multiplication table, self-audit, chaos, approximation, decimal truncation, completeness

Résumé (français)

Trois parties. Le Code : deux pages que n'importe qui peut refaire avec la table de multiplication de 1 à 9, le noyau arithmétique au crayon, l'audit du corpus par lui-même et douze exercices corrigés ; chaque démonstration y est donnée en quatre temps (le reçu, le crayon, ce que le crayon établit, ce qu'il n'établit pas). Le Registre des Erreurs : cent soixante entrées (R.1 à R.160), chacune avec sa ligne de coût et son adresse, et cinquante-huit gravures (G.1 à G.58) où le corpus garde au dossier ses propres inscriptions faites trop tôt, avec leur correction. Le chaos fabriqué : la formule du chaos et ses trois formes, la fabrication du chaos par l'outil, la fin de l'approximation, le principe de complétude, douze cas datés de données contaminées et le prix de la vitesse.

Keywords: registre des erreurs, table de multiplication, audit, chaos, approximation, troncature décimale, complétude
