On distinguishing theorists from crackpots: "A crackpot relies primarily on positive evidence ... A theorist, on the other prong, incorporates negative evidence: she ponders hard about a problem, arrives at a theory that feels right and then proceeds to try to disprove that theory."

You are right on main point : i focus on positive of my work

but

without seriously considering for even a second whether or not it is useful or why anyone other than you should care

I doubt every day and it's consume me.

You waffle back and forth on whether your work is proved or not

You mix everything up. My decomposition can't be disprove if it's interesting, yes.

For four years now

The successive decomposition into weight × level + jump of natural numbers considering the jump=0 (it's a simplification) is the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. My decomposition is really an extension of the FTA.
