I think we should recognise the inherent inconstancy
of the universe, and introduce "entropic
division".
In an entropic arithmetic model, all information
transferral is, like reality, intrinsically
"lossy".
In this model, the classical algorithm that follows
will always terminate without the assistance of
hardware malfunction:
Float X = 2
Do While X
X = X / 2
X = X * 2
end
