Desummation Same Web page, as published around 1996, formerly bbcorn as my dad was known. The following work may yet have a real world use as I am told, stay tuned. Note that a constant can't be desumed . When a constant appears after a desum then simply label it by the number of desums it took to appear.
Labels can look like exponents but with a dash above it.
Since the 2 appeared at the second desum it is labeled with a 2 dash. So the complete desum of n squared is '2 to the 2 dash minus 1 to the 1 dash'. The last term is plus one if the row is odd else minus one if the row is even. The idea that I was looking at values in Pascal's Triangle became very interesting. I recalled that the sum of n terms in any diagonal row in Pascal's Triangle is found to be the nth term of the next row down.
