The set of rational numbers

Most may not be aware, but much of the activity in the JVC Ecosystem may be properly understood in light of rational numbers. Rational numbers are a subset of the real number system.

For example, rational numbers consist of those numbers that can be written as a ratio of two integers, a/b. Everyday examples of rational numbers include: 2/3, 3/4, 4, 1/2

In the halls of Jubilee Vietnam Church, we make use of rational numbers when we divide one bowl of rice equally among two people, since Geo and Moiselle (sharing) each then gets half, or, 1/2 bowl of rice.

Indeed, in the JVC Ecosystem even rational numbers have spiritual implications; --open your heart to rational numbers!
