The dark side of the natural logarithm
The synthetic numbers are defined in a similar way as the complex numbers. The synthetic numbers provide a solution to equations where the natural logarithm of a negative number is found.

The definition of 1 synthetic number is: $$ln (-1) =  1 synthetic$$

The symbol for the synthetic numbers is a triangle with a dot on top being similar to the greek letter delta. To provide an easy reading of this article they will be symbolized by §.

The equations like $$exp (x) = n$$ where n is a negative number are solved by x =  ln ( abs(n) ) + 1§. Another example is exp (2§) = 1.
