That's a wonderful analogy, and absolutely true. It's why I feel horrible, intellectually, for asking for "easy answers". But this math problem is an infinite sphere, which has infinite tangents to calculate. I believe the Answer requires a certain level of collaborative effort. And I think that's what the process of Q might ultimately be about: getting us, as humans, to learn to harness the potential of communication the Internet can finally afford us.
Still makes me feel guilty. But I'm a temporal being, with non-infinite resources.
With math proofs, you typically already have what you need: definitions, axioms, theorems, etc. In my opinion, this is more like trying to assemble a jigsaw puzzle where we’re only given one piece and told to venture into a vast junkyard to find the others. Some direction would be nice.
