did you know they say calculus is the language of God. did you know they tried to hold math up to infinity like a candle to the void. did you know statisticians plunged into the vastness of random chance and picked out patterns and equations and eight hundred ways to tell you how big your inevitable errors are and how far off those guesses at errors might be. math haters I can't sit with you anymore. human innovation is cradled in these ancient, methodical, desperate attempts at understanding what we are not designed to understand

That squid I mentioned before has resumed its practice of floating above my bed in the early hours of the morning. Unlike the floating crab, it doesn't drip sea water, and it leaves enough clearance for me to get out of bed with bashing my head into it, so I wouldn't mind in principle. However, the issue is that this squid has something against me. It twists its tentacles, very deliberately, before my eyes into pairs of knots which cannot be differentiated by known knot invariants, and being shown this defect of mathematics always sours my mood for the rest of the day.

if you consider the body a geometry, that means it is able to be transformed
