applying differential equations to life

  • jesus8urbaby: a few links were added to my "hope for relationships" chain http://twitter.com/redgoober4life/statuses/952323541
  • jesus8urbaby: :P
  • rareedgedesigner: aww, sweetie
  • jesus8urbaby: :/
  • rareedgedesigner: your hope for relationships chain
  • rareedgedesigner: how does that work?
  • rareedgedesigner: you take a link off everything you hear about something that makes you LOSE hope?
  • rareedgedesigner: then you said you took two off
  • rareedgedesigner: did we make you lose hope twice ?
  • rareedgedesigner: ;)
  • jesus8urbaby: NO!
  • rareedgedesigner: so confrused!
  • jesus8urbaby: i'll put links ON
  • rareedgedesigner: oh
  • rareedgedesigner: that was a tweet from LAST WEEK
  • jesus8urbaby: if losing hope is -links then regaining hope is +links
  • jesus8urbaby: that's the point
  • jesus8urbaby: the "losing hope in relationships" chain isn't the 'hope in relationships chain'
  • jesus8urbaby: now i'm confused
  • jesus8urbaby: i'll do a differential equation
  • rareedgedesigner: hahaha
  • rareedgedesigner: you kill me :D
  • rareedgedesigner: loves it
  • jesus8urbaby: let HOPE be my hope in relationships and INSTANCE be the instances of relationship information attainment. change in hope/change in instances = dHOPE/dINSTANCE which is HOPE so if we separate variables (assuming that hope and instance are linearly related...but there's really only one variable), we get hope = e^instance. so for a negative instance, hope is very small. for many negative instances, hope approaches zero. for a positive instance, hope increases exponentially
  • jesus8urbaby: this may or many not be a good model
  • jesus8urbaby: maybe there are cofactors to HOPE. like...alcohol
  • jesus8urbaby: so then we'd get hope = e^instance*alcohol. so if alcohol is zero, hope is constant (=1)
  • jesus8urbaby: that's wrong
  • jesus8urbaby: for some people
  • jesus8urbaby: we're forgetting to solve for the initial conditions, too. so there's actually a constant of integration. so really, hope for alcoholics when they're not drinking = 1+constant. maybe that constant is significantly negative.
  • jesus8urbaby: or -1
  • jesus8urbaby: do you like my model?
  • rareedgedesigner: i need to reread your model
