Protect the flock! From JP and Hachette!

I posted this as part of a discussion on MDW labeled "MR minus fang equals"

"Obviously MR-Fang=42.
It's a pretty common thing:

MR-Max=42
MR-Fax=42
MR-The Environment=42
MR as is (-0)=42
(Where MR is the Angel Experiment, which is a constant)

The funny thing about this is that, according to the associative property, Max=Fang=The Environment=Fax=0, which is to say that in all these cases, the item being subtracted is inconsequentail.

Some things upset this though.
As an example:
MR-Jeb=10
Similarly, MR-Plot=8

Which proves why so many of the Antis found MR5 shallow, as the proof suggests MR-Jeb-plot=-12.

And don't get me started with the Anti Theorem:
ter Borcht + Jeb = 42
Which explains why the antis prefer reading slashfic over the recent literature."

The girl who I responded to was actually silly enough to ask me to explain the Anti Theorem. So, I gave the following proof:

Proof of the Anti Theorem:
Given, MR-Jeb =10 and MR-0=42
Therefore Jeb=32, which is to say a large part of the book.
Then, all the antis agree that ter Borcht completes Jeb. This fact is proven time and time again without mathematics, therefore it must be a true statement.
Since MR is a constant, and because it set the tone was also "complete" at that time, it's logical to consider that since MR=Complete and Jeb + ter Borcht =Complete, that therefore MR=(Jeb + ter Borcht)= 42.

Therefore, ter Borcht + Jeb = 42.



Does anyone have any additional theorems, corollaries, or proofs that they wish to add?

OK, I... I think I love you, man <3 Don't stop.
I must argue that your math is wrong in places.

1) I argued earlier that MR is, like all books, a composite of plot and characters (I think it's on the other site though, I can repost if needed) . Therefore you can't have MR+plot, nor MR+flock, because that would be doubling on one element or the other [2(plot) x charaters], which you can't do in a book. You have one plot.

2) MR only fit DA's constant in the original book, as it is a true statement that the value of the books depreciated in value with progressive sequels. I'd need to take a poll to argue the subject further, as the exact value of MR3 is undefined at the moment. Until you can prove that MR3 > or = MR, you cannot argue that Fang is consequential.
I argue that Ella and Dr. Martinez are similarly inconsequential. Consider, neither have really actively influenced the plot. Dr. Maritnez makes cookies, messes up surgeries,and get's captured, and Ella is your stnadard issue Damsel In Distress. So:

Ella=Doc. M=0=Fang

Therefore.

MR+Ella=MR+Dr. Martinez=42.

Proving that all three are inconsequential.
What you are describing is a function of plot, not of character. While these characters do show up, they do not really affect the overall story any more than fang did.
I'll settle that he equals the value 1/∞
1/∞ fits your entire description. It is a small value, and it is above zero.
Wow. XD
This is win.
Something hinky’s up:

MR-Jeb-plot=-12.

- You used MR in calculating MR5’s value.
- If both elements were lacking, then it would be: the individual value * 0 = 0. The absence of something will always be inconsequential.

Which just raises more questions...
One automatically uses the first in a series as part of calculating another part of a series, whether it be in simple phrasing (The new series is good, but the original one was so much better) or when calculating numerically ("n"th number in a series = Orig + f(n))

You misinterpret. Saying that something is *0 is essentially saying that it was never there in the first place. -k is saying that it was originally there, but has been removed. In this case, both the plot and Jeb used to be present, but in the fifth book, each was essentially removed.
