Consistency is scary? by dark nowhere (4.00 / 1) #1 Thu Jan 15, 2009 at 02:49:54 PM EST

Isn't the very utility of complex math that it provides a consistent shortcut through the aether? I suppose there's the issue that since we can't realize the complex space, we might find that some part of it terminates at some realizable place we'd rather not have found, say Mars Base or R'lyeh.

I think what Lovecraft was really trying to say was that as comprehension of these things dawns, the individual's state of mind breaks down. So while going over the material reads (to a mathematician) like a spooky story, actually comprehending it directly would put him or her in a rubber room. Or perhaps it would open up the way to Kadath. Wouldn't that be cool?

On the other hand, posting this to the front page might wake the Great Old Ones from their slumber.

But it's also possible that you're overestimating your own influence.

Trying to bring about the rise of the Old Gods by making sure this gets posted to HuSi's front page when the stars are in alignment.

I'm on to you now.

I'm trying to bring about the rise of the Great Old Ones by any means necessary.

I sure remember lots of 'j' use in electronics.. So force/magnetism and electronic gizmos surely have imaginary radians.. Like you, no idea what that really means, other than the math "works" when you throw them in..
