Math is born from humanity’s love of accuracy.
1 and 2 are separated and one of them has
twice the value of the other. 1 is 1 and it only becomes 2 when its value
doubles. This simple difference is the entire purpose behind math’s existence.
But look at it from a certain angle and
nothing traps people’s minds in inaccuracy quite like math.
101 and 102 are clearly different according
to match, but finding a difference between them in reality is difficult. Even
if you prepared two rulers, you could not be certain there was not a 0.001mm
difference between them.
So Miss A had long since stopped seeking
accuracy.
Math had been her worst subject in school.
During her witch training, a few potions had blown up in her face because she
refused to measure the ingredients. She was fine with “about 3” as a definition
of pi.
Science always used math when discussing
units and it strived to be as accurate as possible.
Miss A stood at the top of that field, but
it was not well known how careless she was about accuracy.
“Nn, there.”
