Principle of Dual Multiplication by Difference

(Or Blake's Principle) A note from the future: Principle originally defined in 2015, but it wasn't until 2017 that I was able to figure out a single formula for it. This was published for posterity, though the original paper/formula is sound, it isn't particularly articulate. The paper: The explanation of the principle is that if you take any number and find the lowest number of the next digit count you can take the difference between those two numbers and minus it from the larger number and end up with the original number multiplied by two. The name just about explains the entire principle. Following the pattern of other less-intuitive names for just about anything involving math or science, I set out to create a name that over-explained the nature of the principle and I think I found it. The goal of the principle is to take any number and multiply it by two in a more complicated way. The practical application of this formula is for academic critical thinking (to be tau
