## ◊ MATHEMATICAL PROOFS ◊
THEOREM 1: Love ≠ Love
Proof: The love you give ≠ the love they receive
∴ Translation errors are inherent to the system □
THEOREM 2: Love = Love
Proof: Despite transformation, something persists
∴ The equation balances in mystery □
THEOREM 3: ∞ × 0 = Love
Proof: Infinite feeling × zero guarantee
∴ Undefined, like all important things □
THE LOVE EQUATION:
L + O + V + E = LOVE
BUT ALSO:
L × O × V × E = LOVE
L ÷ O ÷ V ÷ E = LOVE
L ^ O ^ V ^ E = LOVE
(all operations are valid)
(all operations transform)
(the answer is always LOVE)
(the answer is never simple)
∫ LOVE dx = YOU
(the integral of love
over time
equals
a person)

### ❋ CULINARY RECIPE ❋
═══════════════════════════════════
RECIPE FOR LOVE (SERVES: ?)
═══════════════════════════════════
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 large L (longing), aged
- 2 cups O (openness), fresh
- 1 V (vulnerability), raw and trembling
- 3 tablespoons E (everything), to taste
- A pinch of madness
- Salt (tears) to taste
- Time (hours to years)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Take the L. It should be heavy. If it's light,
it's not longing, it's just curiosity. Wait.
2. Fold in the O carefully. Do not overmix or it
will close up. Do not undermix or it won't open.
There is no right amount of mixing.
3. Add V all at once. DO NOT HESITATE. If you
hesitate, you'll chicken out. It must be raw.
4. Sprinkle E everywhere. Be reckless with it.
Everything means EVERYTHING.
5. Season with tears. (You won't be able to help it.)
6. Place in the oven of TIME at 🔥 degrees.
Check every day. Never check. Constantly check.
7. It's done when: [UNKNOWN]
You'll know when: [UNKNOWABLE]
Serve immediately: [IMPOSSIBLE]
YIELD: Varies. Sometimes nothing. Sometimes everything.
STORAGE: Cannot be stored. Must be consumed fresh.
WARNINGS: May cause permanent changes to personality.
