Subject: Disembodied Soul Revealed!?

"The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit,
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."
-Omar Khayyám-

Hey community I came across some startling information about the soul that I would like to share with you all.

On the soul's profile page it reads "Leave me alone. You're interfering with my slow crawl towards infinity."

Now this information isn't new and you are probably asking me why is this of any significance, well let me introduce to you a mathmatician's friend in growth and decay functions: The asymptote.

Now an asymptote is defined as "An asymptote is, essentially, a line that a graph approaches, but does not intersect. For example, in the following graph of y=1/x, the line approaches the x-axis (y=0), but never touches it. No matter how far we go into infinity, the line will not actually reach y=0, but will always get closer and closer."

And if you compare the definition of an asymptote with the soul you see that both are on a slow "crawl" towards infinity.
So based upon this rudimentary analysis the Disembodied Soul is, for all intents and purposes, an Asymptote.

Now you might be saying that if the Soul represented a graph what would be the x-axis value so as to represent his slow crawl towards infinity? Well infinity as we can plainly read that the Soul is crawling towards infinity but never getting any closer. So the value of the x-axis is infinity and the line is the Disembodied Soul.

Elementary, I say, Elementary!

EDIT: A link to the math page which contained the definition of asymptote and has an example of such a graph that I describe in my post.

Jack of all trades, master of none.

So, disembodied soul is infinity?

No, an asymptote

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

The only thing I got from this is that the Soul is an ass...

The Disembodied Soul is in fact the horrific outcome of a division by zero. That mistake must never, ever be made again. We contained it this time, we may not be able to next time...

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

OP... you used alot of biog words. Can you dumb it down for me?

The diembodied soul is a mathmatical figure which will never cross infinity. To put it simply.

Read the OP, understood it, felt like a boss.
But seriously that's a nice interpretation of it, OP. Nice job.

Wouldn't infinity be the asymptote and the soul be the function that will never get there?

I can see how you would think that but in my post I clearly outline the x-axis as infinity and the graph which would never cross the x-axis(infinity) would be the Disembodied Soul.

This.

The asymptote would be the limit of the function. In this case Disembodied Souls, the function, "limit" is infinity. If I recall correctly.

Leave him alone! Can't you see that you are interfering his slow crawl?

I remember asymptotes from High School math... Alright, I can dig it.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

can this thing be killed?

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

This makes no sense, so it must be right...
