You can have only the set of natural numbers, in which case you have the positive x direction, but not the negative. And why is -x the opposite of x? Why isn't 1/x its opposite? Or -1/x?

you looked to much at the math. -x is the opposite of +x becuase they oppose each other.

I looked to much at the math? Umm... looking at the math is the only possible way to compare numbers and variables of numbers...

Math the only way to look at numbers and number comparisons, etc? It surely isn't. One can use logic systems, which while related to math are most assuredly not math.

Logical evaluation of number systems is a type of math, actually. It is called Discrete Mathematics.

Discrete Mathematics is a method of combining logical method and problem solving with mathematical equations. It is not all inclusive of Logical comparisons of numbers and other areas.

Even if it where I could still show that your original statement:
Quote:

is false by simply making up a nonsensical way of comparing numbers and variables. It would make no sense and have no meaning but it would still be a way it could be done.
