This is an abbreviated version of the video "Number Theory Repair" (14 minutes vs 40 at https://youtu.be/SC7vBKADTcQ). Instead of going over how to add, multiply and animate the real, complex and space-time numbers, I discuss numbers that are simpler than all of those.

There is a system of numbers that is simpler than the real numbers but still can be analyzed in terms of addition, multiplication, and animation. Zero or one or the superposition of the two fit the bill. An animation that has but one frame could represent here-now with me at the center of the Universe. You are the center of your own Universe. Your coordinates in here-now are 0-0-0-0. To get to the next moment of your life, add 0-0-0-0 and voila, you are at 0-0-0-0. This sounds trivial as it should since the group theory is Z1, the trivial group.

Empty space-time, you and I all get to the next moment of the Universe without using any energy. The one way I can see to achieve such a goal as a mathematical expression is to add zero over and over again. The root of the strangeness in fundamental physics may be the three presentations of the trivial group.
