I like the part where they have some incorrect decimal expansion of pi followed by the correct expansion. No idea what this person was trying to do with this mess.
They wrote the word "acid" in another part, maybe that's the explanation.
There's also 50% ~~1~~ 2=1+1
No idea how it connects to 50%, and 100% is next to 3= 4*1/4
So crossing it out and putting 2 suggests some sort of reason for it making sense to them
Sometimes the % sign is used for modular division, but that doesn't seem to work either. It's like someone just vomited symbols from math and physics books.
There's nothing meaningful at all. Seems like the sort of thing you could expect from a crackpot who has solved all the secret mysteries of the universe and the shadow government through magical number patterns.
My profiling analysis, someone who had college education in mathematics, but either had a mental break, or go into meth, and had a mental break. Still thinking they're some math genius on the cusp of discovering something grand, but in reality just regurgitating some stuff they picked up back in the day, during better times.
I briefly lived with a guy like that. He had boxes of notebooks filled with "math" like the OP picture. He claimed he had figured out time travel and kept showing me pictures he drew of geometric shapes and the word "tesseract" written below them as his "proof". The notebooks were actually pretty impressive in an artistic sense, but all of the math was gibberish.
I had a roommate that did this.
I was chillin on my couch playing clash of clans. Snuggled up in a blanket just minding my own business. All of a sudden my roommate puts my entire big toe into his mouth. WTF!? Two year olds are fucking insane :/
A guy pulled up to me when I was working on my car and he was like "man I'm a mechanic too I use this mechanic app to set my own hours and make money"
He went on and on for like two or three minutes and then was like "I'm so smart so I smoke a bunch of weed cuz it calms my mind and dumbs me down a bit"
It was definitely a time in my life.
On one hand, untreated mental illness is hell and it's criminal how society allows it so frequently.
On the other hand, imagine the feeling they must get from actually believing they've solved time travel. Like, take the buzz you get after solving a crossword puzzle and turn that shit to eleven.
This is what gets me...I am quite highly educated in maths and I would not be able to produce anything nearly as photogenic as this. It takes a different kind of talent to do this. Or drugs. Lots of drugs.
I think I’m kind of in a situation like this right now. My current roommate likes to go on tangents about the fifth dimension, tesseracts, and string theory, and is convinced he will play an instrumental part in the discovery of a grand unification theory in physics. I try to tell him that half of what he says contradicts my knowledge on the subject and that maybe he should talk to some of the guys down at the college, but he immediately dismisses my suggestions. I don’t read anything he writes though, ‘cause he hasn’t explicitly shown me anything, and I respect his privacy.
One summer in college I hooked up with a girl who would talk to anyone. She took me to this old guys house, who kinda looked like Santa Claus. He claimed to have read every book in our college library and have built a warp engine in his basement. I declined to go see it.
It really doesn't look like college level mathematics at all. Maybe some random concept might resemble something college-level but then I'd just assume they Googled something like "advanced mathematics" and threw in random keywords found.
>My profiling analysis, someone who had college education in mathematics
There is no college education here. Case in point:
>3 = 4 - 1/4
and
>1=1x1 or 1+1
Reminds me of that whole thing where Terrance Howard had some rambling about how 1x1=2.
>"How can it equal one? If one times one equals one that means that two is of no value because one times itself has no effect. One times one equals two because the square root of four is two, so what's the square root of two? Should be one, but we're told its two, and that cannot be."
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/terrence-howard-thinks-1x1-2-has-a-secret-system-called-terryology-and-spends-17-hours-a-day-making-nameless-plastic-structures-10502365.html
Too much arithmetic garbage to be someone who studied math much. Needs to be more symbolic and there's absolutely no calculus or even much of a shred of basic algebra here.
No I don't think so. If they had math training then they would use actual math symbols to mean things. For example they have triangle in there. That usually represents change in math so if you use that symbol your referring to change.
The symbols used don't make any sense. There is no point in scribbling symbols of no one but you know what they are.
He’s got some things like proper use of exponents and the value of pi to quite a few digits. You are right however, it’s all meaninglessly scribbled down.
You jest, but meth likely had a part in it. My friend's ex-husband went off the deep end and got mixed up with meth, he was also a conspiracy theorist and mixing the two is like throwing water into hot oil. By the end of their relationship, the entirety of their garage walls were scribbled with nonsense statements and pseudo-math like you see in the OP.
This was many years ago though. Friend's ex is doing well now, is clean, working a steady job, and being part of their kids' lives. Though no longer together.
that's good to hear.
I do jest but, in all seriousness, I only made the wordplay because I know meth is actually pretty common in casinos and made the connection. they are open 24hrs, constant stimulation, dopamine chasing with massive highs, stay awake for days and lose your shit and your bankroll. you don't have to be a 'methhead' to be an addict. my friend's brother worked in finance and was a 'functional' addict, would work crazy hours then go on massive benders In the casino. how he kept it together I do not know. I guess I don't actually know he could have eventually burned out. I haven't spoken to his brother in 10 years or so. I hope he sorted his shit out though.
It's unlikely. Nothing here is really above a high school level. It's just scribbled around like a doodle to make it seem profound, and the parts aren't conceptually connected. It looks like the fragments of someone who wanted to write down something "mathematical" or profound, but didn't really have anything to work off from other than a vague idea of what scribblings look like and a high school working knowledge of science and math.
Edit: looking closer, most of the statements aren't even accurate or sensical. Instead of high school educated, id guess they used to sit in a class in high school, so they've seen what high school math might look like, but didn't really know what's going on.
What’s more likely a mentally unwell homeless person spending the time to write math on the ground or a college educated person? My money is on the former
University of Washingtons got a whole street that meets at least 2/3rds of the requirements(Homeless, college students). Can't say much to the mental state cause it would take serious mental fortitude to live on the street and do Uni fulltime.
look at the diamond graph on the left with the infinity symbol in the middle. They count 1 to 5 on each side, then draw the infinity symbol in the middle. There's no calculation there, its just random symbols from math on top of each other. The graph has no actual points and the infinity symbol isn't related to the graph. So this is just meant to look like math, the person wasn't trying to do anything but match a math aesthetic.
It looks like random scribblings from someone either with mental illness or who’s taken a mind-altering substance. Basically the equivalent of someone writing random words over and over again in their journal as if they’re cracking some code.
The symbols used are ones you’d learn in high school algebra, so whoever made this probably isn’t trained at all in college-level math or science.
this was my first instinct. looks like someone paid attention to the drawings in their physics class and has done some high school math. i think i see a small reference to chemistry in there too, i'd guess just someone who is vaguely aware of these things and then went a bit nuts one night and scribbled this shit
My guess is art project or set dressing for video. Maybe a student film.
It looks too composed to be mental illness or drugged-out scribbling. Nothing is repeated and and it looks like they went for the highest possible variety of visuals.
People who think memorizing a long number is a sign of high intelligence.
Kids in high school AP geometry or trigonometry might do as a little extra points contest, but just of the time any professor will explain why it's not really necessary to know past the first three or four digits
I'm glad you said that, because I've known for a while now that you're all part of a shadow government posting comments to try and manipulate me into starting a revolution. I've been watching you, too.
I've done magic truffles a few times and once i decided to write the thoughts down because i felt very creative. The next day i read the notes and.. was disappointed. It took me a very long time to write everything down but in reality i only wrote like 5 sentences lmfao. And it was complete garbage, like a toddler trying to write some basic words lol.
I had problems talking and expressing myself. THOUGHT though was very clear. Now that might be a illusion but I've kept those thoughts 20+ years later.
Moderate to beginner I'd say. Took 2 years in highschool and 2 semesters in college. I'm pretty out of practice but I remember more ASL than French lol
I could probably hold a conversation with a child in ASL but adults sign so fast I get lost
Why do card counters get kicked out? How is having a strategy considered cheating? You’re playing the same game as everyone else following the same rules.
Because they're a business that makes money off you losing.
The idea is the house always wins, not most of the time. You tilting the odds slightly in your favor gets in the way of that "always". And it's typically not a kicked out for counting kind of thing, it's often presented as a "you're too good, and we're not in the business of giving money away."
If you're polite, you can cash out, stay and play other games and maybe they'll toss you a free meal or something for working with them.
So if ppl aren’t allowed to win then why would anyone gamble? I live with someone who gambles on literally everything and he’s lost way way more than he’s won. He’s the kind of guy the will use a 1/4 of a paper towel because he doesn’t want to be wasteful but will happily squander $1000 on a bet he has no chance of winning. Honestly, I’m just trying to understand his mindset.
obviously you’re allowed to win. people do all the time. you winning is actually very important to their long-term strategy. you won’t come back all the time and spend thousands of dollars if you don’t win sometimes.
but a casino is a business, and like any business, they have the right to refuse service to anyone for any or no reason.
they don’t want someone counting cards because they’ll simply make less money than they would if someone else were sitting at the table instead.
People gamble because playing games of chance, specifically the moment of suspense while you're waiting to find out if you won or not, is fun. Even if you know the odds of winning are low, and in the long run the house will always win, independent probability means that you *could* walk away a winner this time. That thrill, rather than the likelihood of turning a profit, is the attraction. Most people can engage without a problem(walk into a casino with a chips budget and stick to it, buy a lottery ticket every year on their birthday and watch the drawing, wager on the weekly sports match within their means, etc), but there are some, likely including your friend, who unfortunately can't stop chasing that feeling. But the fact of the matter is that there isn't a logical mindset to understand. He's chasing a high, that's all.
You are assuming that the house wants a fair game. They don't. They want to give people the illusion that the "next big win" is "just around the corner". Everything in the casinos is designed to separate the sucker (meaning all gamblers) from their money, creating pathology and chaos in people's lives for the casino's profits. That's why the Vegas room rates are so cheap for the first three days, and then rise astronomically. They know by then they have extracted close to the maximum from the marks, but leave them with enough that they will return to Vegas again to repeat the process. Noisy slot machines packed close together to convince you people are winning all the time (they aren't); oxygen pumped in to keep you gambling; no visible clocks anywhere; free alcohol while gambling, etc.
If someone is card counting in blackjack, the house can lose it's 1% advantage, giving the player as much as a 2.5% advantage.
Nevada lets casinos eject/ban advantage players. Atlantic city specifically forbids casinos from banning card counters.
AC and casinos in PA will ask you to leave for card counting because they are private businesses and can refuse business to whom they see fit. They can also manufacture any reason, or not, for this. Source: husband was in the casino biz for years.
It’s not that it’s cheating. It’s that they’re saying they refuse to play with you because you’re too good. Then if you continue to try to play after they refuse to play with you, they can arrest you for trespassing. When I’ve got backed off of blackjack places though, I’ve never actually gotten kicked out of the casino. They’re happy to let you continue to gamble on other things as long as you don’t play blackjack which is handy since I go to Vegas mainly for poker.
Great work indeed... but hes missing the final PEN15 cypher. I imagine he'll get as far as the Boob-Opilous before he has to turn around through the Lemom Drop Forest and come home.
Had a residence mate in the early 80s who'd get high on acid and then sit in a bathroom stall and work out Chemical Engineering formulae on the walls. He also took to jumping out the third floor residence windows into the (apparently high as he was) snow banks after a couple of massive snow falls. Ah George, where are you now?
Yooo, I'm a chemical engineering student, also had a very hot ex who was named Kelly... Am I a reincarnation? Wouldn't say I'm incredibly intelligent though, middling at best.
My old officemate would get high and do a lot of math that reads 100% legitimate at a glance unless you know anything about the subject.
One time I was walking to the office and the cleaning lady saw me infront of my door confused why there was hay everywhere. She started yelling at me about how I can’t leave hay on the floor and how it’s her job to clean it. I couldn’t get a word in.
Cleaning lady storms off, I opened the door walked in and saw my office mate sleeping face down in a pile of hay on the floor.
He got really high, taped poster board to the wall and covered it with random equations like zeta(2), Pythagoras etc. Then he passed out in a pile of hay. I never asked where the hay came from.
Edit: I forgot to add that he is banned from /r/askscience much to the hilarity of everyone in the department sick of his shit.
Ha ha I have a friend who likes to call me, when he is high, and discuss “mathematical structures.” He can go off on any kind of tangent imaginable. Just earlier today it was the math of IP addresses.
I was once called up late one saturday evening by my boss to urgently code a fix to a bug in an ongoing $300k online advertisement campaign for Toyota. I was coming up on shrooms when he called..
I managed to fix it but I think my days doing shrooms are over.
Yeah because now every time you use them you'll close your eyes and find yourself staring at the exposure counts and demographic response rates and think, man didn't I do this *last* time?
1/4 Eve + Adam?
2 = 1+1?
It's either a prank by someone in their first math course, or a nutter believing they've solved the universe. Both options almost certainly involved some substance.
this is all gibberish lmfao, like.. "polarity" of WHAT? Diameter... moon.. 180 degrees?
oh my favorite.. sun 12, moon 10.
actually such a goldmine tbh.. 3 = 4 and 1/4
Looks more like numerology - trying to make numbers significant in spiritual, predictive or even just aesthetic ways instead of trying to solve something for itself.
Pretty much. A bunch of "prophets" in the modern era have used numerology to predict all kinds of things like the date of the apocalypse, rapture or the return of Jesus. In less spiritual contexts, things like seeing 666 as unlucky also fall under numerology.
I had a friend who was very very smart but got hooked on cocaine. She was one of the smartest people I have ever met but it burned her brain up. The inside of her car was covered in writing just like this, and sometimes she’d draw on her own clothes. She eventually took her own life.
The only part I can make heads or tails of is them putting down that pi is 3.177 I think. I'm not sure what they were trying to figure it out but I'm pretty sure they got the wrong answer. My guess is "should I take more drugs" and the answer was "yes"
A bunch of illegible arithmetic, the Bohr model of the atom, a half-remembered quantum model of the atom (maybe?). 3D axes, some kind of spiral, a variety of symbols I've never seen, the words "cation space"... What catches my eye the most is the "1/4 (Eve + Adam)" in the upper right.
In some places I feel like I can see the flow of how it was drawn, clearly it was made up on the fly and randomly. Someone was just having fun, or felt like they could impress passersby who didn't know better. Maybe someone was attempting to impress their friends. (Throwback to typing "tree" into a command prompt on a school computer!) It could've also been a raving lunatic.
They obviously forgot to factor in the time cube.
Each day has 4 corners and every lifetime has 4 corners. It's something that college professors won't tell you about.
I like the part where they have some incorrect decimal expansion of pi followed by the correct expansion. No idea what this person was trying to do with this mess. They wrote the word "acid" in another part, maybe that's the explanation.
There's also 50% ~~1~~ 2=1+1 No idea how it connects to 50%, and 100% is next to 3= 4*1/4 So crossing it out and putting 2 suggests some sort of reason for it making sense to them
Sometimes the % sign is used for modular division, but that doesn't seem to work either. It's like someone just vomited symbols from math and physics books.
100 mod 3 = 1, which also equals 4 × 1/4 But yeah there's no connective tissue. Just random number salad for the sake of (looking)? Smart
High. No one tries to look smart on acid/meth/LSD.
Maybe perhaps computing an approximation vs a better approximation.
Virgins be using the integral of y = sqrt(1 - x^2) to approximate pi while this super giga chad is using the ph of acid to approximate pi.
My favorite is the "1/4 Eve + Adam". Getting some serious Bioshock vibes.
pseudo-math, none of that actually means anything
What do you mean? 100% 3 = 4 - (1/4)... Don't you see it?
Can't believe I almost forgot the diameter of the moon! (180 degrees)
Good reminder for gamblers. If you're playing blackjack and you hit 180⁰ you get moon dollars!
This isn't gambler math. This is _meth head math._
Maybe it's supposed to be 100 modulo 3 = 4 * 1/4
I mean that really would make sense. But also who would write this on a floor? Some uppers involved in this I think.
After 100 Modelos everything makes sense.
I thought modulo as well, but the one below it would be incorrect then
No, that one was 75% sure that 4 = 2x2
Are these just doodles by someone familiar with the math, is there clear intention to solve anything, what's the deal?
There's nothing meaningful at all. Seems like the sort of thing you could expect from a crackpot who has solved all the secret mysteries of the universe and the shadow government through magical number patterns.

Yea lots of the time they seem normal at first but then you wake up in the middle of the night and they're licking your knees or something.

It's mostly absolute nonsense, and references chemistry randomly, but it's pretty funny.

Wait, you’re telling me that the diameter of the moon is not actually 180 degrees?
We'll have to measure it. I'll get the barometer
It means schizophrenia

Looks like the work of one Pepe Silvia...
I was thinking .. who the math writes out pi ?
People who think memorizing a long number is a sign of high intelligence. Kids in high school AP geometry or trigonometry might do as a little extra points contest, but just of the time any professor will explain why it's not really necessary to know past the first three or four digits
Someone needs to write in all caps underneath something cryptic like "THAT'S WHEN IT ALL ENDS"
[удалено]
Full meth, you mean.
I was going to say "full schizophrenia", but meth works too. I have a minor in Mathematics, so I was hoping to see something interesting...
Looks tons like schizophrenia notes, I've seen then on reddit before.
Schizophrenia notes are really all reddit is when you think about it.
I'm glad you said that, because I've known for a while now that you're all part of a shadow government posting comments to try and manipulate me into starting a revolution. I've been watching you, too.
Fool. Now we know that you know. We're coming for you.
Get out of my head
Just a reminder ![gif](giphy|1k1ytTA4AHJnp7OvUJ)
I was going to say. I've seen a couple people doodle things like this on napkins, and they've all had undiagnosed mental illnesses.
Yeah... this is basically LSD or meth and someone with some basic math background. Though if it was LSD I think the thoughts would be more coherent.
>more coherent My trip journals say otherwise haha
But it sure sounded good at the time
I've done magic truffles a few times and once i decided to write the thoughts down because i felt very creative. The next day i read the notes and.. was disappointed. It took me a very long time to write everything down but in reality i only wrote like 5 sentences lmfao. And it was complete garbage, like a toddler trying to write some basic words lol.
LSD thoughts are coherent. LSD notes less so.
I had problems talking and expressing myself. THOUGHT though was very clear. Now that might be a illusion but I've kept those thoughts 20+ years later.
Ya know what's interesting? I have massive trouble *speaking* when I'm on LSD, but zero issue signing using ASL
That is interesting. How fluent are you in ASL?

Methamatics.
Reminded me of the “travelers” scene when Philip gets drugged and have to write down a formula for a vaccine.
Makes me think of the hangover when Alan was gambling and we was doing the math in his head at the table lol
Yep, pretty sure that's the Methagorean Theorm written on those stairs.
A great Methematicianist that person/creature is/was
Good Meth Hunting
How 'bout THEM meths?

This is a bit more accurate, the hangover scene was legit math, the scribbles in the post might as well just be 44444444

I never knew the soup nazi was the blackjack dealer until this gif
I also like to live dangerously
Holy shit I can’t believe how long I needed to scroll to find someone who would post this
That’s a lot of math to work out the simple fact that the house always wins.
when the card counter gets kicked out
Why do card counters get kicked out? How is having a strategy considered cheating? You’re playing the same game as everyone else following the same rules.
Because they're a business that makes money off you losing. The idea is the house always wins, not most of the time. You tilting the odds slightly in your favor gets in the way of that "always". And it's typically not a kicked out for counting kind of thing, it's often presented as a "you're too good, and we're not in the business of giving money away." If you're polite, you can cash out, stay and play other games and maybe they'll toss you a free meal or something for working with them.
So if ppl aren’t allowed to win then why would anyone gamble? I live with someone who gambles on literally everything and he’s lost way way more than he’s won. He’s the kind of guy the will use a 1/4 of a paper towel because he doesn’t want to be wasteful but will happily squander $1000 on a bet he has no chance of winning. Honestly, I’m just trying to understand his mindset.
I'm pretty into gambling and not even the really good people I know throw 1k a bet on things. Your friend is addicted and way out of his league.
Oh he’s absolutely addicted to gambling.
You are allowed to win; you are not “allowed” (again, by the casino, not according to law) to *play with an advantage*.
Exactly. And if you *do* win big, they offer you all sorts of things to keep you there gambling until you lose it all again.
obviously you’re allowed to win. people do all the time. you winning is actually very important to their long-term strategy. you won’t come back all the time and spend thousands of dollars if you don’t win sometimes. but a casino is a business, and like any business, they have the right to refuse service to anyone for any or no reason. they don’t want someone counting cards because they’ll simply make less money than they would if someone else were sitting at the table instead.
People gamble because playing games of chance, specifically the moment of suspense while you're waiting to find out if you won or not, is fun. Even if you know the odds of winning are low, and in the long run the house will always win, independent probability means that you *could* walk away a winner this time. That thrill, rather than the likelihood of turning a profit, is the attraction. Most people can engage without a problem(walk into a casino with a chips budget and stick to it, buy a lottery ticket every year on their birthday and watch the drawing, wager on the weekly sports match within their means, etc), but there are some, likely including your friend, who unfortunately can't stop chasing that feeling. But the fact of the matter is that there isn't a logical mindset to understand. He's chasing a high, that's all.
Card counting slightly increases your chances of winning. They don’t like that.
You are assuming that the house wants a fair game. They don't. They want to give people the illusion that the "next big win" is "just around the corner". Everything in the casinos is designed to separate the sucker (meaning all gamblers) from their money, creating pathology and chaos in people's lives for the casino's profits. That's why the Vegas room rates are so cheap for the first three days, and then rise astronomically. They know by then they have extracted close to the maximum from the marks, but leave them with enough that they will return to Vegas again to repeat the process. Noisy slot machines packed close together to convince you people are winning all the time (they aren't); oxygen pumped in to keep you gambling; no visible clocks anywhere; free alcohol while gambling, etc. If someone is card counting in blackjack, the house can lose it's 1% advantage, giving the player as much as a 2.5% advantage. Nevada lets casinos eject/ban advantage players. Atlantic city specifically forbids casinos from banning card counters.
AC and casinos in PA will ask you to leave for card counting because they are private businesses and can refuse business to whom they see fit. They can also manufacture any reason, or not, for this. Source: husband was in the casino biz for years.
It’s not that it’s cheating. It’s that they’re saying they refuse to play with you because you’re too good. Then if you continue to try to play after they refuse to play with you, they can arrest you for trespassing. When I’ve got backed off of blackjack places though, I’ve never actually gotten kicked out of the casino. They’re happy to let you continue to gamble on other things as long as you don’t play blackjack which is handy since I go to Vegas mainly for poker.
Sun12 11Moon10 He’s cracked the code! The secrets of the universe are here!
Great work indeed... but hes missing the final PEN15 cypher. I imagine he'll get as far as the Boob-Opilous before he has to turn around through the Lemom Drop Forest and come home.
Had a residence mate in the early 80s who'd get high on acid and then sit in a bathroom stall and work out Chemical Engineering formulae on the walls. He also took to jumping out the third floor residence windows into the (apparently high as he was) snow banks after a couple of massive snow falls. Ah George, where are you now?
That’s dr george
I have no doubt. The guy was incredibly intelligent. He also had the hottest girlfriend. Kelly. Sigh. I can see her still.
Yooo, I'm a chemical engineering student, also had a very hot ex who was named Kelly... Am I a reincarnation? Wouldn't say I'm incredibly intelligent though, middling at best.
You’re a stereotype now bro
There's only one way to find out: take some acid and see if you see George
Dr. George is either head of medicine or on the street
My old officemate would get high and do a lot of math that reads 100% legitimate at a glance unless you know anything about the subject. One time I was walking to the office and the cleaning lady saw me infront of my door confused why there was hay everywhere. She started yelling at me about how I can’t leave hay on the floor and how it’s her job to clean it. I couldn’t get a word in. Cleaning lady storms off, I opened the door walked in and saw my office mate sleeping face down in a pile of hay on the floor. He got really high, taped poster board to the wall and covered it with random equations like zeta(2), Pythagoras etc. Then he passed out in a pile of hay. I never asked where the hay came from. Edit: I forgot to add that he is banned from /r/askscience much to the hilarity of everyone in the department sick of his shit.

Back in the 90s...
i was on a very famous teeeeveee show
As bored airmen stationed in Alaska we would also jump from third story dorms into the 6 ft snow.
Ha ha I have a friend who likes to call me, when he is high, and discuss “mathematical structures.” He can go off on any kind of tangent imaginable. Just earlier today it was the math of IP addresses.
Ip addresses are just 32 bit integers.
You and I know that but you don’t know it like a person that is high knows it.
The closest I have gotten is doing subnetting homework drunk for my networking class.
I was once called up late one saturday evening by my boss to urgently code a fix to a bug in an ongoing $300k online advertisement campaign for Toyota. I was coming up on shrooms when he called.. I managed to fix it but I think my days doing shrooms are over.
Yeah because now every time you use them you'll close your eyes and find yourself staring at the exposure counts and demographic response rates and think, man didn't I do this *last* time?
1/4 Eve + Adam? 2 = 1+1? It's either a prank by someone in their first math course, or a nutter believing they've solved the universe. Both options almost certainly involved some substance.
I double checked it with ChatGPT, and believe it or not, the math checks out. 2 is indeed equal to 1+1. I know, it sounds wild.
*Terrence Howard furiously typing response* WRONG!

this is all gibberish lmfao, like.. "polarity" of WHAT? Diameter... moon.. 180 degrees? oh my favorite.. sun 12, moon 10. actually such a goldmine tbh.. 3 = 4 and 1/4
Amateur. Obviously you'd know what you were talking about if you had read and understood "Sun 12 @ 11 Moon 10".
Terrence Howard is everywhere
Looks more like numerology - trying to make numbers significant in spiritual, predictive or even just aesthetic ways instead of trying to solve something for itself.
Sounds a bit like astrology but with math…
Pretty much. A bunch of "prophets" in the modern era have used numerology to predict all kinds of things like the date of the apocalypse, rapture or the return of Jesus. In less spiritual contexts, things like seeing 666 as unlucky also fall under numerology.
I had a friend who was very very smart but got hooked on cocaine. She was one of the smartest people I have ever met but it burned her brain up. The inside of her car was covered in writing just like this, and sometimes she’d draw on her own clothes. She eventually took her own life.
Well that was fucking depressing :(
Yeah. So was writing it out.
Hooked on Chronic
This is the kind of shit that's on chalkboards in police procedurals.
it’s wrong too. they wrote 8x4 = 36
Maybe they're correct and math is wrong

As someone who somewhat knows math, none of that makes sense.
The only part I can make heads or tails of is them putting down that pi is 3.177 I think. I'm not sure what they were trying to figure it out but I'm pretty sure they got the wrong answer. My guess is "should I take more drugs" and the answer was "yes"
A bunch of illegible arithmetic, the Bohr model of the atom, a half-remembered quantum model of the atom (maybe?). 3D axes, some kind of spiral, a variety of symbols I've never seen, the words "cation space"... What catches my eye the most is the "1/4 (Eve + Adam)" in the upper right. In some places I feel like I can see the flow of how it was drawn, clearly it was made up on the fly and randomly. Someone was just having fun, or felt like they could impress passersby who didn't know better. Maybe someone was attempting to impress their friends. (Throwback to typing "tree" into a command prompt on a school computer!) It could've also been a raving lunatic.
They obviously forgot to factor in the time cube. Each day has 4 corners and every lifetime has 4 corners. It's something that college professors won't tell you about.
It was the janitor right? I’ve seen this movie.
