6=36, according to the rules you delineated.
Left symbol type = right symbol type (like a Rosetta Stone) with no explicit statement of commutivity. A "1" on the left need not symbolize the same thing as a "1" on the right. That is, 1 = 6 does not mandate that 6 = 1, unless you state the symbols are commutative. For example, even within our regular mathematics, A X B =/= B X A. They are not commutative. If there is a problem, it is that 1 =/= 6. Still, if we accept that translation, then by progression, it follows that 6 = 36. Now, if you went ahead and made the next "rule" in the sequence to be "6 = 1", that would make it fold back on itself (recursive), but that would be a new rule which differs from the rule being used so far. So, you can get anything you want, if you set the rules. Which did you have in mind? |

6=1 But only for small values of 6 and large values of 1. |

You are using an equal sign to represent a proportion. Usually, one places one number over the other to represent proportions.
What you are saying, truly, is: 1/6=2/12=3/18=4/24=5/30=6/36 The other thing you might be trying to describe is a linear transform, where 1 is 6, 2 is 12, etc. However, with rational numbers, 1 cannot equal 6. |

Perhaps a better way to say this is you have left out the operator from your equation. It should look like this:
f(1) = 6 f(2) = 12 f(3) = 18 f(4) = 24 f(5) = 30 f(6) = 36 Or, in general terms: f(x) = 6x So, in this case, your "shorthand" elimination of the full and proper equation(s) has left you confused. ... but it does make for a funny little joke. |

If 1 = 6 2 = 12 3 = 18 4 = 24 5 = 30 Then 6 = ? 6=1. Please refer to line one above for evidence of my hypothesis. |

Ah, when explained this way I get it now. |
