My note inspired me to make this problem.

Is the proper unit p p positive, or negative? (you will know it is not equal to zero)

It is negative. It is positive. Neither positive nor negative like an order of complex numbers.

Since I said that p 2 = 1 p ^ { 2 } = 1 in that link(my note), but the root of x 2 = 1 x ^ { 2 } = 1 is x = ± 1 x = \pm 1 in C \mathbb { C } .

But, p 2 = 1 , ( p ) 2 = 1 p ^ { 2 } = 1, ( -p ) ^ { 2 } = 1 .

So, I enlarged the fundamental theorem of algebra .

And, by that link, we get n N , p p = p 2 n = 1 n \in \mathbb { N }, p ^ { p } = p ^ { 2n } = 1 .

p = 2 n p = 2n

2 n 2 n = p p = 1 2n ^ { 2n } = p ^ { p } = 1

( 2 n ) 2 n = 1 ( 2n ) ^ { 2n } = 1

2 n = 1 2n = 1

n = 1 2 n = \frac { 1 } { 2 } .

We found a contradiction.

p = 1 0 p = \frac { 1 } { 0 } .

If n = 1 2 n = \frac { 1 } { 2 } , then p = 2 n = 1 p = 2n = 1 .

Then, 1 = 1 0 1 = \frac { 1 } { 0 } .

Therefore, we cannot know whether p p is positive or negative like an order of complex numbers.
