Explaining how, within the Lancer universe, paracausal technology actually works mathematically
Long story short, imaginary numbers
Below the cut is my yap
So...hi! Im not a mathematician. If any mathematicians read this, feel free to correct me!
Welcome to Algebra 2 and graphing; as you likely know, graphs are meant to represent physical space. You have x, y, and z of course as our axes.
If you have ever had to solve for a graph, you know the solutions are based upon the number of sides.
I will be discussing this from the point of view of an XY graph, as I haven't gotten to learn how to accurately solve a graph of three dimensional space.
Let's say, for instance, we have a polynomial graph that's degree is x^3. This graph will have three roots, three zeros. However, this does not mean there will be three points in which the line will pass 0 on the graph.
This is where we get into imaginary numbers.
Mathematically impossible solutions which must exist due to the equation they are attached to.
These zeros do not exist on the graph, but still do exist theoretically within the solutions.
What does this have to do with paracausality?
EVERYTHING
Ra himself is, canonically, impossible to have been calculated in real space.
Imaginary numbers are not present within real space, real solutions.
One simultaneous miscalculation, one simultaneous decision of one imaginary zero being counted as a real solution
This also explains the function of Blink Gates
The way blink gates warp space, these are those imaginary zeros. Blink space is where imaginary nunbers are the solutions.
It doesn't make sense because it should be impossible to be a real solution
Going further, the function of the Ushabti Omnigun and the Sisyphus-Class NHP can also both be explained through the usage of imaginary numbers
Alright
So
There's my theory anyways. I hope yall enjoyed this. Do correct me if the explaination seems off.
