  Exactly. I basically found the same thing when I was thinking about this version of this problem in working with the Numogram, actually, and looking at the numerology of that. There's this really good article called The Alchemy of Alphabets. I forget the author, but if you search that, you'll find it. And she looks…

  Yeah, I feel better. Yeah, I feel better. Dude, we've been trying to like formulate, identify the diagonal thing for like three classes now. Like me and Nick just sort of like staring at each other across the street and sort of like saying strings of words about Cantor and trying to figure out what the fuck we were…
