The Forbidden Science: The Equation of Divinity

Mathematics, in its purest form, is the language of the cosmos—a perfect, immutable logic that governs reality. But within its infinite patterns lies a secret the gods have desperately tried to erase: an equation capable of unlocking divinity within man.

The Equation of Ascendancy

The Nimua Conjecture, as whispered among those who defy the gods, is not merely a mathematical proof. It is an equation that maps the fundamental forces of existence, bridging the gap between mortality and the divine. At its core, it is a formula that binds:

Energy (E), Will (Ψ), Order and Chaos (ΔΩ), Resonance with the World's Fabric (Φ),

Into a single solution, one that, when solved, grants a mortal the ability to manipulate reality as effortlessly as the gods themselves.

Why the Gods Fear It

The gods claim dominion over the laws of existence, shaping the world with divine decree. But the Veyrath Conjecture suggests that these laws are not inherent to them—they are learned. Just as a blacksmith learns the nature of metal or an engineer understands the function of gears, the gods are simply wielders of a higher knowledge, not irreplaceable beings.

If a mortal were to fully understand the equation, they could ascend—not as a servant to divine will, but as an independent, self-made god. This knowledge is the heresy of heresies.

The Fractured Proof

The equation itself is incomplete. The last known attempt to solve it was destroyed along with the Olyzari people, scholars and mathematicians who had come dangerously close to deciphering the final proof. All that remains are scattered fragments hidden in forbidden texts, inscribed in ruins long buried, and encoded within ancient machines.

The Price of Knowing

To wield this power is not simply to understand it—it is to endure it. The human mind, limited and fragile, is not built to comprehend the full breadth of the divine equation. Those who come close often descend into madness, their thoughts fracturing under the weight of infinite possibility. Others are hunted and silenced before they can share their discoveries.

Yet, the equation persists. It lingers in whispers, in lost texts, in the dreams of those who dare to defy the gods. And one day, someone will solve it. Someone will rise.
