Me and Sithreis were having a conversation and it eventually turned to the idea of power. We discussed a mathematical definition of absolute power and whether or not we thought it was possible. Here is the basic theory:
Let power be defined quantitatively
Let C be the power value of one person
Let D be the set containing the power of every other person
{set D + C = entire population)
Let ||D|| be the sum of every value in set D
Let D max be the greatest value in set D
C, all values in set D, ||D||, and the entire population are unbounded and never constant
Theorem of the Existence of Absolute Power
In order for C to have absolute power over the entire population at any given moment, the following must be true:
C > ||D||
-OR-
C > D max
The debate was whether or not you need to have more power than any other person or every other person combined to have absolute power. After our discussion we concluded that C > ||D|| is the correct answer.
Here is our discussion:
Sithreis says (11:24 PM):
-.-
Professors must either hate you, or hate you and want to consume your power
<_<
Darksage says (11:25 PM):
my calculus professor loves me
cause he teaches theoretically
Sithreis says (11:25 PM):
:/ He wants your power
"Oh I have enough, but why not more?"
Darksage says (11:26 PM):
his power exceeds mine
Sithreis says (11:26 PM):
Power never stops increasing, or it isn't power
HAVEN'T YOU SEEN DRAGON BALL Z?
Darksage says (11:27 PM):
“his power exceeds mine”
Sithreis says (11:27 PM):
Goku trained against krillin *tense*
Darksage says (11:27 PM):
that doesn’t contradict what you said
though I’m not sure if I agree with it anyway
Sithreis says (11:27 PM):
lol
Darksage says (11:28 PM):
perhaps if we amended it
Sithreis says (11:28 PM):
You mean
Beta
>_>
Darksage says (11:28 PM):
power never stops increasing or it isn’t power
hmmm
well power is relative based on the power of others
Sithreis says (11:28 PM):
And other people are constantly increasing in power
Let me put it into words you'll understand
YOU
Have a Zelda game....
and
You have beaten it
yet continue to play it
If you stop playing and some newbie starts playing it
and ends up playing longer than you
Your power is now less
Darksage says (11:30 PM):
so let’s say you have a set D that includes the power of all things, and my power is C. Let’s assume the power values are constantly changing.
My power is 'real' power if C increases faster than all the values in D OR D decreases faster than C
or any event in which ||C|| > ||D|| is true
Sithreis says (11:31 PM):
This is like Math class all over
When do I hit on chicks and sleep? >_>
Darksage says (11:33 PM):
when ||C|| > ||D|| is not true
Sithreis says (11:33 PM):
mmhmmm?
Darksage says (11:33 PM):
i.e.
when your power equals or exceeds mine
you may sleep
or hit on chicks
Sithreis says (11:34 PM):
But not if your power is increased as mine does
Which is my DZB reference >_>
Darksage says (11:34 PM):
that’s why I said
C increases FASTER than D
to keep me ahead
Sithreis says (11:35 PM):
But you said d includes all things
That makes no sense then
Because if it controls yours and everything it
you are pwned by default
-.-
Darksage says (11:35 PM):
true, D is the set of the power values of all things except me
Sithreis says (11:35 PM):
Ah
Darksage says (11:35 PM):
well you can modify it for anyone
Sithreis says (11:36 PM):
True
Darksage says (11:36 PM):
C is you, D is everyone else
Sithreis says (11:36 PM):
but now I get how you were thinking about that
Not bad
Did you think of it yourself, or is it a law?
Darksage says (11:36 PM):
I made it up
I dunno
Sithreis says (11:36 PM):
Not bad then
You should have said C is you and D is everything in the first place though
kanpeki for 50 points
*tense*
Darksage says (11:37 PM):
*shrug*
Sithreis says (11:38 PM):
Comethefuckon
Darksage says (11:38 PM):
-100 for you then, for being part of set D
Sithreis says (11:38 PM):
lol
Darksage says (11:38 PM):
and to satisfy the inequality
decreasing you faster than decreasing me
keeping ||C||>||D|| true
keeping my power real
Sithreis says (11:39 PM):
You mean keeping your power just above D
<_<
Greedy
Darksage says (11:39 PM):
that’s would actually be amazing
||D||=magnitude of D = power of everyone but me
for mine to be greater
that’s the only thing I was thinking about
Sithreis says (11:40 PM):
I choose power of 0
Darksage says (11:40 PM):
whether to write C>D or ||C||>||D||
Sithreis says (11:40 PM):
To make your power zero
put that into math if you want to
but
I am 0
lol
Darksage says (11:41 PM):
or C>D[max] rather
lets assign it numbers arbitrarily
my power is 10
your power is 8
and your power is the highest in D
Sithreis says (11:41 PM):
if both increase by ten
Darksage says (11:42 PM):
forget that
is my power true
simply my having more than D max
or do I need more power than ||D||
Sithreis says (11:42 PM):
well that would bring about the question
Darksage says (11:42 PM):
which seems unrealistic
Sithreis says (11:42 PM):
how is one to determine power?
What are the grounds for gain and loss?
Darksage says (11:42 PM):
irrelevant
Darksage says (11:43 PM):
if it could only exist by this math
then the question I asked is the only important question
Sithreis says (11:43 PM):
||D|| includes yours as well?
Darksage says (11:43 PM):
no
but wait
Sithreis says (11:44 PM):
just give the values of D ||D|| and C
Darksage says (11:44 PM):
but that’s the question
should the theorem state
Sithreis says (11:44 PM):
then give their properties one more time
Darksage says (11:44 PM):
||C|| > ||D|| or C > D max
Sithreis says (11:45 PM):
OH
I would say that
Darksage says (11:45 PM):
(note that ||C|| = C because C is only a single value set)
Sithreis says (11:45 PM):
now just from |C|| > ||D|| or C > D max
Darksage says (11:45 PM):
so the only difference is
Sithreis says (11:45 PM):
that it can’t be determined
just because
if D max is high
Darksage says (11:46 PM):
||D|| which is the sum of the power of everyone but me, and D max which is the highest power value of anyone but me
Sithreis says (11:46 PM):
yet all combined into ||D|| doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be more than D
SO
C>D would be right
But ||D|| could be more or less
depending on their value
combined value*
Is that what you were looking for?
Darksage says (11:47 PM):
I suppose if you ask for ABSOLUTE power, then you would have to say C>||D||
as then even everyone combines are less than you
Sithreis says (11:47 PM):
BUT
okay look at it this way
Darksage says (11:47 PM):
but in the sense that power isn’t like a force you can just add on to
Sithreis says (11:47 PM):
C=10
D=9
and
Darksage says (11:47 PM):
I would say C > D max is correct
Sithreis says (11:47 PM):
E=8
Darksage says (11:48 PM):
nonono
Sithreis says (11:48 PM):
C>D>E
Darksage says (11:48 PM):
there is no E
Sithreis says (11:48 PM):
just go with it
for now
Darksage says (11:48 PM):
noooooo
Sithreis says (11:48 PM):
since D is a combined power
-.-
Darksage says (11:48 PM):
then
D={9,8}, D max=9
Sithreis says (11:48 PM):
I don’t mean is as a next power
Darksage says (11:48 PM):
it all has to be D if it’s a set
Sithreis says (11:48 PM):
just C>D>part of D
better?
C>D>Part of D
is correct
Darksage says (11:49 PM):
technically no
but fine
Sithreis says (11:49 PM):
-.-
fuck
it
>_>
<_<
Darksage says (11:49 PM):
continue
Sithreis says (11:49 PM):
C>D>part of D
You'd have to know the size of d
and its part
to know it wait wait wait
no
C>Part of D>||D||
Darksage says (11:50 PM):
NO
Sithreis says (11:50 PM):
THATS right
Darksage says (11:50 PM):
nonono
Sithreis says (11:50 PM):
Ill finish and correct me afterwards
before I lose my train of thought
Darksage says (11:50 PM):
||D|| = the sum of every value in the D set
Sithreis says (11:50 PM):
yes
I know
Darksage says (11:50 PM):
a part of the set can’t be greater than the sum
Sithreis says (11:50 PM):
mmhm
the '>'
doesn’t work
hold
let me think for a sec
ah
got it
I usually use paper
so
lol
C>||D||
C>D
C is greater than both
Darksage says (11:51 PM):
what is D
Sithreis says (11:51 PM):
a part of the whole combined 'D'
right?
SO
I got it
Darksage says (11:52 PM):
but it’s irrelevant unless its D max
Sithreis says (11:52 PM):
C will always be greater than D
BECAUSE
you can’t take part of D and then add it back
and get a greater number
You'd have to add something out side of D
SO
new analogy
C= 10 people
D=9 people
Darksage says (11:53 PM):
by adding do you mean increasing?
Sithreis says (11:53 PM):
somewhat
I’m almost through
Darksage says (11:53 PM):
but wait
this is important
Sithreis says (11:53 PM):
You can’t take one of the people from D
and
Darksage says (11:53 PM):
if you mean adding new values
you're wrong
Sithreis says (11:53 PM):
no just
C=10
D=9
you can't
take a value of D away
and add more back
Darksage says (11:54 PM):
D doesn’t equal anything, D is a set, you can call parts o that set D1, D2, etc
Sithreis says (11:54 PM):
you can only take away from its original value
WITHOUT taking from somewhere else
Dammit
Darksage says (11:54 PM):
D contains things
it doesn’t equal things
Sithreis says (11:54 PM):
well
then I’d say
no matter how you divide a pie
it won’t be more than a bigger pie
:/
right?
Darksage says (11:55 PM):
but that’s assuming that the sum of C and ||D|| (all power) is a fixed number
Sithreis says (11:55 PM):
yes
Darksage says (11:55 PM):
so justify that belief
Sithreis says (11:55 PM):
C>D & ||D||
Darksage says (11:55 PM):
one thing at a time
Sithreis says (11:56 PM):
mmhm slowly
I need paper
dammit
Darksage says (11:56 PM):
here, pretty straightforward:
Sithreis says (11:56 PM):
okay
Darksage says (11:56 PM):
let’s suppose we have an expression
for the total sum of all power
called Z
Sithreis says (11:56 PM):
no
stop
too much
Darksage says (11:56 PM):
wait
Sithreis says (11:56 PM):
but that’s assuming that the sum of C and ||D|| (all power) is a fixed number
that’s enough
Darksage says (11:56 PM):
your pizza analogy says that
Sithreis says (11:57 PM):
all I want to say is
IS
Darksage says (11:57 PM):
C + ||D|| = Z
ALWAYS
Sithreis says (11:57 PM):
if you have two numbers
SET
Darksage says (11:57 PM):
and can never exceed or fall below Z
Sithreis says (11:57 PM):
VALUES
Darksage says (11:57 PM):
I don’t believe that
Sithreis says (11:57 PM):
and one is higher than the other
without adding to them
no matter how you rearrange the smaller number
it cannot be larger than C
Darksage says (11:57 PM):
there are 2 flaws with that
Sithreis says (11:58 PM):
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 & 9
are both 9
if c is larger than that
its larger than the 1's
2 3 4 & 9
divided up differently
still less than 10
:/
Darksage says (11:58 PM):
the first being that D is not a fixed set, the number of values in D are always increasing with the population so there is a sort of 'spontaneous addition' which is why I think your pizza analogy is incorrect
Sithreis says (11:58 PM):
OMFG
OMFG
Darksage says (11:59 PM):
the pizza would be getting bigger
constantly
Sithreis says (11:59 PM):
I know
my pizza ratio is right
HOW
Darksage says (11:59 PM):
it’s not
Sithreis says (11:59 PM):
I didn’t take into the decay values
the larger can
be larger in the beginning
but
it can change slower
at a slower pace
Darksage says (12:00 AM):
what do you mean "it can change"?
Sithreis says (12:00 AM):
a pig would eat the pie faster than someone on a diet
so did say that
C>||D||
UNTIL
you find the variable and values
Darksage says (12:01 AM):
therefore
by the definition of C>||D||
power is never attainable
Sithreis says (12:01 AM):
If you ask me
that sounds right
you disagree though right?
Darksage says (12:02 AM):
in the sense that your power value would have to be greater than the sum of 7 billion other values
Sithreis says (12:02 AM):
and the only way for it to remain true is that
Darksage says (12:02 AM):
I think that answers the definition of ABSOLUTE power
Sithreis says (12:02 AM):
C never decreases
right
?
Darksage says (12:02 AM):
C can decrease if ||D|| decreases more
Sithreis says (12:02 AM):
yep
Sithreis says (12:03 AM):
I think we just solved absolute powah
Now
We must post this somewhere
:/
Dude
That is genius
and as long as C has more power
in a power sense
it can keep ..... it can keep D from becoming larger
revelation
Darksage says (12:04 AM):
how
Sithreis says (12:04 AM):
because its stronger
unless D JUMPS
Darksage says (12:04 AM):
that’s the point
Sithreis says (12:04 AM):
wow
That is food for thought
Darksage says (12:05 AM):
these numbers don’t have bounds, values can be increased and decreased by any value at any time, and for set D values can be added into the site constantly
Sithreis says (12:05 AM):
but wouldn’t that mean that
Darksage says (12:05 AM):
the rate at which C would have to increase to remain larger than ||D|| would be enormous
Sithreis says (12:05 AM):
D could actually become C?
Darksage says (12:05 AM):
yes
Sithreis says (12:05 AM):
mmhm
Darksage says (12:06 AM):
C has to be greater
less than is bad
equal is bad
Sithreis says (12:06 AM):
so in fact the value
obtains the level
right?
so C will always be larger
because if D becomes C
C is larger than D that C has become
Darksage says (12:06 AM):
no
Sithreis says (12:06 AM):
my god man
Darksage says (12:07 AM):
we aren’t making a CONDITION
Sithreis says (12:07 AM):
lol
Darksage says (12:07 AM):
saying that C MUST ALWAYS be greater
we're saying if it is
Sithreis says (12:07 AM):
Well that’s that then
You knew all of this already right?
>_>
Darksage says (12:07 AM):
yea
Sithreis says (12:08 AM):
did you learn it in...
Darksage says (12:08 AM):
let me formulate it
Sithreis says (12:08 AM):
*looks at clock*
25 minutes?
<_<
Darksage says (12:08 AM):
I made it up
in 25 minutes
lol
set theory rocks
Sithreis says (12:08 AM):
LOL
LOMOTHERFUCKINGL
But now, what are your thoughts on absolute power? In a purely mathematical sense, do you think it is possible to satisfy the condition for absolute power?
Let power be defined quantitatively
Let C be the power value of one person
Let D be the set containing the power of every other person
{set D + C = entire population)
Let ||D|| be the sum of every value in set D
Let D max be the greatest value in set D
C, all values in set D, ||D||, and the entire population are unbounded and never constant
Theorem of the Existence of Absolute Power
In order for C to have absolute power over the entire population at any given moment, the following must be true:
C > ||D||
-OR-
C > D max
The debate was whether or not you need to have more power than any other person or every other person combined to have absolute power. After our discussion we concluded that C > ||D|| is the correct answer.
Here is our discussion:

there is no E

just go with it
for now
Darksage says (11:48 PM):
noooooo
Sithreis says (11:48 PM):
since D is a combined power

Darksage says (11:48 PM):
then
D={9,8}, D max=9
Sithreis says (11:48 PM):
I don’t mean is as a next power

it all has to be D if it’s a set

C>D>Part of D

technically no

fuck
it

<_<
Darksage says (11:49 PM):
continue

to know it wait wait wait
no

NO
Sithreis says (11:50 PM):
THATS right

Ill finish and correct me afterwards

I know
Darksage says (11:50 PM):
a part of the set can’t be greater than the sum
Sithreis says (11:50 PM):
mmhm
the '>'
doesn’t work
hold
let me think for a sec
ah
got it
I usually use paper
so
lol
C>||D||
C>D
C is greater than both
Darksage says (11:51 PM):
what is D
Sithreis says (11:51 PM):
a part of the whole combined 'D'
right?
SO
I got it
Darksage says (11:52 PM):
but it’s irrelevant unless its D max
Sithreis says (11:52 PM):
C will always be greater than D
BECAUSE
you can’t take part of D and then add it back
and get a greater number
You'd have to add something out side of D
SO
new analogy
C= 10 people
D=9 people
Darksage says (11:53 PM):
by adding do you mean increasing?
Sithreis says (11:53 PM):
somewhat
I’m almost through
Darksage says (11:53 PM):
but wait
this is important
Sithreis says (11:53 PM):
You can’t take one of the people from D
and
Darksage says (11:53 PM):
if you mean adding new values
you're wrong
Sithreis says (11:53 PM):
no just
C=10
D=9
you can't
take a value of D away
and add more back
Darksage says (11:54 PM):
D doesn’t equal anything, D is a set, you can call parts o that set D1, D2, etc
Sithreis says (11:54 PM):
you can only take away from its original value
WITHOUT taking from somewhere else
Dammit
Darksage says (11:54 PM):
D contains things
it doesn’t equal things
Sithreis says (11:54 PM):
well
then I’d say
no matter how you divide a pie
it won’t be more than a bigger pie
:/
right?
Darksage says (11:55 PM):
but that’s assuming that the sum of C and ||D|| (all power) is a fixed number
Sithreis says (11:55 PM):
yes
Darksage says (11:55 PM):
so justify that belief
Sithreis says (11:55 PM):
C>D & ||D||
Darksage says (11:55 PM):
one thing at a time
Sithreis says (11:56 PM):
mmhm slowly
I need paper
dammit
Darksage says (11:56 PM):
here, pretty straightforward:
Sithreis says (11:56 PM):
okay
Darksage says (11:56 PM):
let’s suppose we have an expression
for the total sum of all power
called Z
Sithreis says (11:56 PM):
no
stop
too much
Darksage says (11:56 PM):
wait
Sithreis says (11:56 PM):
but that’s assuming that the sum of C and ||D|| (all power) is a fixed number
that’s enough
Darksage says (11:56 PM):
your pizza analogy says that
Sithreis says (11:57 PM):
all I want to say is
IS
Darksage says (11:57 PM):
C + ||D|| = Z
ALWAYS
Sithreis says (11:57 PM):
if you have two numbers
SET
Darksage says (11:57 PM):
and can never exceed or fall below Z
Sithreis says (11:57 PM):
VALUES
Darksage says (11:57 PM):
I don’t believe that
Sithreis says (11:57 PM):
and one is higher than the other
without adding to them
no matter how you rearrange the smaller number
it cannot be larger than C
Darksage says (11:57 PM):
there are 2 flaws with that
Sithreis says (11:58 PM):
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 & 9
are both 9
if c is larger than that
its larger than the 1's
2 3 4 & 9
divided up differently
still less than 10
:/
Darksage says (11:58 PM):
the first being that D is not a fixed set, the number of values in D are always increasing with the population so there is a sort of 'spontaneous addition' which is why I think your pizza analogy is incorrect
Sithreis says (11:58 PM):
OMFG
OMFG
Darksage says (11:59 PM):
the pizza would be getting bigger
constantly
Sithreis says (11:59 PM):
I know
my pizza ratio is right
HOW
Darksage says (11:59 PM):
it’s not
Sithreis says (11:59 PM):
I didn’t take into the decay values
the larger can
be larger in the beginning
but
it can change slower
at a slower pace
Darksage says (12:00 AM):
what do you mean "it can change"?
Sithreis says (12:00 AM):
a pig would eat the pie faster than someone on a diet
so did say that
C>||D||
UNTIL
you find the variable and values
Darksage says (12:01 AM):
therefore
by the definition of C>||D||
power is never attainable
Sithreis says (12:01 AM):
If you ask me
that sounds right
you disagree though right?
Darksage says (12:02 AM):
in the sense that your power value would have to be greater than the sum of 7 billion other values
Sithreis says (12:02 AM):
and the only way for it to remain true is that
Darksage says (12:02 AM):
I think that answers the definition of ABSOLUTE power
Sithreis says (12:02 AM):
C never decreases
right
?
Darksage says (12:02 AM):
C can decrease if ||D|| decreases more
Sithreis says (12:02 AM):
yep
Sithreis says (12:03 AM):
I think we just solved absolute powah
Now
We must post this somewhere
:/
Dude
That is genius
and as long as C has more power
in a power sense
it can keep ..... it can keep D from becoming larger
revelation
Darksage says (12:04 AM):
how
Sithreis says (12:04 AM):
because its stronger
unless D JUMPS
Darksage says (12:04 AM):
that’s the point
Sithreis says (12:04 AM):
wow
That is food for thought
Darksage says (12:05 AM):
these numbers don’t have bounds, values can be increased and decreased by any value at any time, and for set D values can be added into the site constantly
Sithreis says (12:05 AM):
but wouldn’t that mean that
Darksage says (12:05 AM):
the rate at which C would have to increase to remain larger than ||D|| would be enormous
Sithreis says (12:05 AM):
D could actually become C?
Darksage says (12:05 AM):
yes
Sithreis says (12:05 AM):
mmhm
Darksage says (12:06 AM):
C has to be greater
less than is bad
equal is bad
Sithreis says (12:06 AM):
so in fact the value
obtains the level
right?
so C will always be larger
because if D becomes C
C is larger than D that C has become
Darksage says (12:06 AM):
no
Sithreis says (12:06 AM):
my god man
Darksage says (12:07 AM):
we aren’t making a CONDITION
Sithreis says (12:07 AM):
lol
Darksage says (12:07 AM):
saying that C MUST ALWAYS be greater
we're saying if it is
Sithreis says (12:07 AM):
Well that’s that then
You knew all of this already right?
>_>
Darksage says (12:07 AM):
yea
Sithreis says (12:08 AM):
did you learn it in...
Darksage says (12:08 AM):
let me formulate it
Sithreis says (12:08 AM):
*looks at clock*
25 minutes?
<_<
Darksage says (12:08 AM):
I made it up
in 25 minutes
lol
set theory rocks
Sithreis says (12:08 AM):
LOL
LOMOTHERFUCKINGL
But now, what are your thoughts on absolute power? In a purely mathematical sense, do you think it is possible to satisfy the condition for absolute power?
