title: A New Arithmetic
subtitle: Numbers Interact
author: An M. Rodriguez
description: An introduction to relational arithmetic for anyone shaped by early arithmetic, especially kindergarten teachers who still return to first principles.
excerpt: "Ordinary arithmetic has mistaken addition for union. A New Arithmetic begins from daily evidence: when things are actually together, they interact, and addition should not hide that relation."
