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."

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.
