> Why do multiplication and division with integers not respect the
natural 'Universal Law' with respect to 'truth' within mathematical
equations? Their form is held in place, stagnant amoungst other equations,
they are restrained with superficial "rules" and manipulated to conform to
what function 'we' habe chosen for them.

> When questioned instructors have said they were "not sure why
Integers have these rules", ...”it is a rule they learned, though they are
not sure why...” and it is an '"International Agreement” and not
necessarily correct though understood". They have referred me elsewhere...

> Multiplication and division with integers does not respect the
"value" of the negative and positive symbols or the signs that the numbers
carry, as do with addition and subtraction. The signs, symbols and number
placement could have relevance and integrate in relation to othet
equations. What is concerning is that these Integers' formula go on into
other equations such as Algebra etc. and it is not in 'harmony' with
itself hence other mathematical systems when it should be the foundation
of the building blocks and it does not fit allin the puzzle of the whole
mathematical map.
