So if we assign heads +1 and tails -1, then the infinite series of coin flip results should be the summation 1-1+1-1+1-...
The Cesaro sum tells us this is 1/2, exemplifying the probability of a coin landing heads vs. tails (inb4 landing on its edge)
but we all know Cesaro was a dumbass and the standard sum of the series is undefined since we have a divergent series.
Thus we have either one of two outcomes.
1) probability as we know it is sets of divergent sums and makes no sense to utilize in our world.
2) there is some "karmic probability," where the sum of all coin flips must reach equilibrium. I.e. if the average ratio of heads to tails after 1000 flips is 7:3, we know that it IS more likely to land tails as the series has to approach 1:1.
