Here follows a brief analysis of this statement. |
We consider a One with the following properties: | We consider a One with the following properties: | ||
- | * <math>\! | + | * <math>\!{\mathcal O}^{\mathrm{itude}}</math> is a measure of the Oneness of the One. |
- | * <math>\! | + | * <math>\!T</math> is the temperature of the One. |
- | * <math>\! | + | * <math>\!c^{\mathrm{itude}}</math> is the coldness of the One. |
The Oneness of the One can be determined by the following simple formula: | The Oneness of the One can be determined by the following simple formula: | ||
<center><math>{\mathcal O}^{\mathrm{itude}}\propto c^{\mathrm{itude}}</math> .</center> | <center><math>{\mathcal O}^{\mathrm{itude}}\propto c^{\mathrm{itude}}</math> .</center> | ||
- | + | 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: | |
<center><math>\lim\limits_{T\to\infty}c^{\mathrm{itude}}=0,\quad\lim\limits_{T\to0^+}c^{\mathrm{itude}}=\infty</math> .</center> | <center><math>\lim\limits_{T\to\infty}c^{\mathrm{itude}}=0,\quad\lim\limits_{T\to0^+}c^{\mathrm{itude}}=\infty</math> .</center> | ||
- | + | This is compatible with the expected inverse relationship between coldness and temperature: | |
<center><math>c^{\mathrm{itude}}=\frac1T</math> .</center> | <center><math>c^{\mathrm{itude}}=\frac1T</math> .</center> | ||
As a result, we can rewrite our expression for Oneness in terms of temperature: | As a result, we can rewrite our expression for Oneness in terms of temperature: | ||
