Yes, I'm spamming. Deal with it.

I've always wondered - is lessthanthree intensified if one puts lessthanfour, or is it lessthantwo? See, the examples I've seen have led me to believe that <4 is the accepted form of love overload, but <2 makes more sense than me, since three isn't a particularly large amount and less than it is obviously smaller, which'd mean - by my way of thinking - that the lower the number, the more desirable. Four is entirely too diluted a love. By that way of thinking, then, I suppose that the most desirable amount of love of all is <1 which looks a little like a particularly smug smile and could be, if you choose to go down a route that involves some combination of one of Zeno's paradoxes and an infinite sum*, something like infinity.



*as described thus: s(n) = 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 ... + 1/2^n, as n approaches infinity. It probably makes no logical mathematical sense, since it's something I Found On A Website Somewhere, but it pleases me no end.

Oh, this post makes me happy! I like to think of <4, like, including even more of the number line than <3, but your way of thinking makes much more sense. <1!

*dorklove*

It would seem to be exponentially intensified based on the use of <33333333 in some cases - after <3 comes <3^2 (<9), <3^3 (<27) and so on. *ponders*

Excellent question, milady.

Yes, or the way it would have been chiseled in ancient Rome: <3<3<3

i love your love to the nnyth degree!

i have no head for numbers and therefore no particular opinion on how to magnify <3 (unless there's some way of indicating "to the nth power"), but this is frighteningly adorkable and made me smile so wide. thank you for your funky philosophical maths in textspeak lesson, it kind of just made my day.
