Branching Logic

[ehowton]

Is the world non-linear, which would explain why I am able to so deftly manipulate it? Or does my radiant thinking give me the ability to break the world's linear structure into parts for examination and rearrangement? I have often been accused of stating conditional statements unconditionally, but that's only because I experience time differently than you do - I see no absolutes. Branching logic isn't just taking in and digesting the thousand points of light from a rapidly expanding spider pyrotechnic hundreds of feet in the night sky, its also applying all those scenarios to learn from your mistakes. The purpose of learning from your mistakes is of course, to not repeat them.

Branching logic–the stuff if is made of–is still linear, though it is possible that the elliptic curves you see are so elliptical that they are straight. Taniyama–Shimura–Weil proved that.

Very clever!
