Ever since i laid my eyes on some notions of maths, i've been wondering how and why this science appeared. Has it ever occured to you that, maybe, someone backthere, in ancient history, someone tried to put the human existence into an ecuation...and,thus, they established that the counting system they used in commerce, and other daily activities, could be used in a more abstract way, a conventional one, to symbolies certain emotions. (0!=1. this is a convention, cannot question it, cannot explain it, you just take it as it is. There ar social conventions, too...right? n.e.: You don't scratch your intimate body spots in public. :))...but why are they so much more special than other body parts?) For decades, they haven't managed to find such an ecuation (considering they have been looking for one.) It seems impossible: "To define is to limit" (Oscar Wilde). But people have thei limits, principles, laws, they would not disobey...And so do functions of numbers. Coming to this point, could you go so far (or not that far , actually) to perceive people as functions...each definated by diferent, and more (or less) super complex ecuations? If you analise those functions on intervals, you''ll discover a certain monotony, but on time to time they'll vary, they'll fall vertiginously down, or jump high up in the sky. Our lives have ups and downs: exactly when you float more peacefully in your dreamland, you'll fall, or you will be sollowed by a black hole. And when you do not react, think or feel accordingly to the usual domain of values,people will raise their eyebrows, and try to 'solve' you as a whole different function...
