you can't do any standard operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division without getting to the same value as before

You can do operations, all sorts of operations. The question is how you distribute and use Zero and Q as to what the outcome is, and whether it is true or false.

As I've already covered, the problem has to do with processing potential outcomes.

Then we have the following inconsistency:

Q=Q*Q

then we multiply both sides by zero to get

1=Q*1

or 1=Q. The inconsistency comes from the fact that 1 is obviously not the reciprocal of zero.
