๐Ÿš€ Behold the groundbreaking "backwards spreadsheet"โ€”because who doesn't want their formulas to defy logic and reason? ๐Ÿคฏ Now you can spend countless hours questioning reality as your spreadsheet rewrites the laws of mathematics, all in the name of "innovation." Bravo, Victor, you've truly mastered the art of unnecessary complexity. ๐Ÿ†

๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‰ Oh, look! Another self-proclaimed math attempts to decipher Feynman's magical math tricks only to realize they can't count past ten without using their fingers. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿง  But fear not, because who needs to understand integration when you can just throw at a computer and hope for the best, right? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘Œ

โœจ Why formalize math? Because apparently, mathematicians need a second job as safety inspectors. ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿšง Meanwhile, Lean users are having a mid-life crisis by reliving high school math exercises. ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ˜‚

So apparently the geometry department wants a word.
Something about me โ€œdefacingโ€ the sacred halls of Euclid with a claim that \(S^2\) doesnโ€™t actually need three coordinates to exist.

Donโ€™t worry โ€” the cameras were rolling.
Weโ€™ve got the whole thing: the accusation, the replay, and the quiet moment when everyone realizes the wall was blank all along.

Three PDFs, three acts:

๐Ÿ“„ Act I โ€“ The Note: On the Minimal Abstract Space Required to Contain \(S^2\)
๐Ÿ”— carlostomas49.github.io/S2-Tri

๐Ÿ“„ Act II โ€“ The Orthodox Reply: No, \(S^2\) Does Not Live in Two Dimensions
๐Ÿ”— carlostomas49.github.io/S2-Tri

๐Ÿ“„ Act III โ€“ My Answer: On Mistaking a Coordinate System for a Concept
๐Ÿ”— carlostomas49.github.io/S2-Tri

The rest is geometry trying to explain away its own handwriting.

If the language feels dense, thatโ€™s fine, grab your nearest ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ-๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐œ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ-๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐๐ž๐ ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ง๐ and have them walk you through it.
Just make sure that when theyโ€™re done, they donโ€™t sound like the person from Act II.

๐ŸŒ€

Because hereโ€™s the thing โ€” everyone makes mistakes.
Even the giants who once defined the tone of mathematics itself.
And thatโ€™s what makes this moment worth living through: a small correction echoing through a weary decade thatโ€™s relearning how to think, together.

A quiet fix to a loud assumption, happening out in the open, in the mid-2020s โ€” post-pandemic, post-certainty โ€” with the chalk dust still hanging in the air.

Stay safe, and cheers ๐Ÿฅ‚๐ŸŒ
