where is the math these days?

as i sit here procrastinating getting my move-out on, im listening to 2 + 2 = 5 by radiohead.  its probably the only song i would want to hear if i saw them live.  its pretty, hard, and emotion-filled.

so what is in the title?

i guess the idea that "two and two always makes a 5" is an interesting idea in a disassociated reality from our own, where something is terribly wrong.  who knows for sure.

one thing about the idea that compels me is to create a whole system that works like the idea of 2 + 2= 5.  someone has probably done it already (just like everything else) but the exercise of creating such a complex system of equations would be mind boggling.  of course, if our universe is infinite, then there must be some plane of existence that contains a system that works off the idea that if you have two apples, and put them together with another two apples, you have five apples.

it begs the question, if you take three apples away from five, are you left with one apple?

if you have an apple and put it with another apple, do you have two and a half apples, or three, or something more bizarre?

anyway, i thought id slap up a photo of a show.
