The Property of Ones

When a fan asks Strong Bad if he's ever had a one that was not cold, he responds by stating the Property of Ones: "The ONEitude is directly proportional to the Colditude of the ONE." Here follows a brief analysis of this statement.

We consider a One with the following properties:

  • \!{\mathcal O}^{\mathrm{itude}} is a measure of the Oneness of the One.
  • \!T is the temperature of the One.
  • \!c^{\mathrm{itude}} is the coldness of the One.

The Oneness of the One can be determined by the following simple formula:

{\mathcal O}^{\mathrm{itude}}\propto c^{\mathrm{itude}} .

We expect the coldness to approach zero when the temperature of a One is very large; likewise, it is reasonable to define coldness to be infinite as temperature approaches absolute zero:

\lim\limits_{T\to\infty}c^{\mathrm{itude}}=0,\quad\lim\limits_{T\to0^+}c^{\mathrm{itude}}=\infty .

This is compatible with the expected inverse relationship between coldness and temperature:

c^{\mathrm{itude}}=\frac1T .

As a result, we can rewrite our expression for Oneness in terms of temperature:

{\mathcal O}^{\mathrm{itude}}=\frac{k}T ,

so that k is a proportionality constant (in units of Oneness times kelvins) that uniquely determines the Oneitude of a One given its temperature. In Strong Bad's own words, this can be simply stated:

The Oneitude is directly proportional to the Colditude of the One.

Or in other words:

The colder it is, the more of a one it is.

Coolguy's Law
