And the reason I got 12, 25 was is that 25 is just two times 12 plus one.

So in other words, the danger of this stuff,

right, is that when you start to see patterns and you start to see stuff that looks crazy, you don't realize what you're actually doing.

What you're really saying is you're coming from a perspective that is philosophical before it's scientific or mathematical.

And you have a statement which says everything is in motion.

And then you go into a riff about loops and you say, take out your calculator, turn it to the side, take the square root of two, cube it, take that

Then you do this thing where you happen to know the large decimal expansion up to a point, which increases people's confidence.

You gotta be worried because that's like the confidence in con man too.

But you make a point.

We have a name for the thing you call a loop.

We call it a fixed point.

A fixed point.

A fixed point.

Now a fixed point, you have something called a transformation.

The transformation, let me see if, Jamie, if we can bring that back.

So I'm just trying to standardize your, can we go below that?

Let me see.

Okay, Terrence loop.

You have a mapping T for Terrence from the real numbers to the real numbers given by X cubed divided by two.

If you take the polynomial Y cubed minus two Y equals zero, that factors as Y minus square root of two times Y plus square root of two times Y minus zero.
