"mathematical proof" was what i said. There were a certain set of steps I went through to attain this belief. That was the only similarity to math. One thing you should understand about me though, is that I have no formal training and big words are somewhat wasted on me, no wasted is too strong of a term. If you are talking about a commonly studied belief...I won't recognize the name right off. I will, however, look up the word and add it to my vocabulary. I am a self-proclaimed, commonly self-rejected, theorist. What odd beliefs I come up with are written down, and then mulled over until I realize that I am becoming full of myself and attempting to whittle the universe down to the size of my limited mental capacity. Then I throw it out, except for the small grain of truth which I usually discover in my theories.
