"How colonialism sparked the global Vipassana movement..."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radicle
In 1880 Charles Darwin published a book about plants he had studied,
The Power of Movement in Plants, where he mentions the radicle..."It is
hardly an exaggeration to say that the tip of the radicle thus endowed
[..] acts like the brain of one of the lower animals; the brain being
situated within the anterior end of the body, receiving impressions from
the sense-organs, and directing the several movements".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_number
Carl Friedrich Gauss is said to have found this relationship in his
early youth, by multiplying n/2 pairs of numbers in the sum by the
values of each pair n + 1.[1] However, regardless of the truth of this
story, Gauss was not the first to discover this formula, and some find
it likely that its origin goes back to the Pythagoreans 5th century
BC.[2] The two formulae were described by the Irish monk Dicuil in about
816 in his Computus.[3]
The triangular number Tn solves the
"handshake problem" of counting the number of handshakes if each person
in a room with n + 1 people shakes hands once with each person. In other
words, the solution to the handshake problem of n people is Tn−1.[4]
The function T is the additive analog of the factorial function, which
is the products of integers from 1 to n.
The number of line
segments between closest pairs of dots in the triangle can be
represented in terms of the number of dots or with a recurrence
relation:
L/n = 3 T/n − 1 = 3 ( n 2 ) ; L/n = L/n − 1 + 3 ( n − 1 ), L 1 = 0.
In the limit, the ratio between the two numbers, dots and line segments is
lim n → ∞ Tn/Ln = 1/3 .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_(mathematics)
"In elementary mathematics, a variable is an alphabetic character
representing a number, called the value of the variable, which is either
arbitrary or not fully specified or unknown. Making algebraic
computations with variables as if they were explicit numbers allows one
to solve a range of problems in a single computation. A typical example
is the quadratic formula, which allows one to solve every quadratic
equation by simply substituting the numeric values of the coefficients
of the given equation to the variables that represent them.
The
concept of variable is also fundamental in calculus. Typically, a
function y = f(x) involves two variables, y and x, representing
respectively the value and the argument of the function. The term
"variable" comes from the fact that, when the argument (also called the
"variable of the function") varies, then the value varies
accordingly.[1]
In more advanced mathematics, a variable is a
symbol that denotes a mathematical object, which could be a number, a
vector, a matrix, or even a function. In this case, the original
property of "variability" of a variable is not kept (except, sometimes,
for informal explanations).
Similarly, in computer science, a
variable is a name (commonly an alphabetic character or a word)
representing some value represented in computer memory. In mathematical
logic, a variable is either a symbol representing an unspecified term of
the theory, or a basic object of the theory, which is manipulated
without referring to its possible intuitive interpretation".

"In mathematics, a quadratic form is a homogeneous polynomial of degree two in a number of variables. For example...
4x2 + 2xy − 3
...is a quadratic form in the variables x and y".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory
"Chaos theory is the field of study in mathematics that studies the
behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial
conditions—a response popularly referred to as the butterfly effect.[1]
Small differences in initial conditions (such as those due to rounding
errors in numerical computation) yield widely diverging outcomes for
such dynamical systems, rendering long-term prediction impossible in
general.[2] This happens even though these systems are deterministic,
meaning that their future behavior is fully determined by their initial
conditions, with no random elements involved.[3] In other words, the
deterministic nature of these systems does not make them
predictable.[4][5] This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or
simply chaos. The theory was summarized by Edward Lorenz as:[6]
Chaos: When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.
Chaotic behavior exists in many natural systems, such as weather and
climate.[7][8] It also occurs spontaneously in some systems with
artificial components, such as road traffic.[9] This behavior can be
studied through analysis of a chaotic mathematical model, or through
analytical techniques such as recurrence plots and Poincaré maps. Chaos
theory has applications in several disciplines, including meteorology,
sociology, physics, environmental science, computer science,
engineering, economics, biology, ecology, and philosophy".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness
"Thanks to recent developments in technology, consciousness has become a
significant topic of research in psychology, neuropsychology and
neuroscience within the past few decades. The primary focus is on
understanding what it means biologically and psychologically for
information to be present in consciousness—that is, on determining the
neural and psychological correlates of consciousness. The majority of
experimental studies assess consciousness by asking human subjects for a
verbal report of their experiences (e.g., "tell me if you notice
anything when I do this"). Issues of interest include phenomena such as
subliminal perception, blindsight, denial of impairment, and altered
states of consciousness produced by alcohol and other drugs, or
spiritual or meditative techniques".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impermanence
"Impermanence, also called Anicca or Anitya,[1] is one of the essential
doctrines and a part of three marks of existence in Buddhism.[2][3][4]
The doctrine asserts that all of conditioned existence, without
exception, is "transient, evanescent, inconstant".[2] All temporal
things, whether material or mental, are compounded objects in a
continuous change of condition, subject to decline and
destruction.[2][5]
Anicca or impermanence is understood in
Buddhism as the first of three marks of existence, the other two being
dukkha (suffering, pain, unsatisfactoriness) and anatta (non-self,
non-soul, no essence).[4][3][6]
All physical and mental events,
states Buddhism, come into being and dissolve.[7] Human life embodies
this flux in the aging process, the cycle of repeated birth and death
(Samsara), nothing lasts, and everything decays. This is applicable to
all beings and their environs, including beings who have reincarnated in
deva (god) and naraka (hell) realms.[8][9] This is in contrast to
nirvana, the reality that is Nicca, or knows no change, decay or
death.[2]
Impermanence is intimately associated with the doctrine
of anatta, according to which things have no essence, permanent self,
or unchanging soul.[10][11] The Buddha taught that because no physical
or mental object is permanent, desires for or attachments to either
causes suffering (dukkha). Understanding Anicca and Anatta are steps in
the Buddhist’s spiritual progress toward enlightenment".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordianism
"Discordianism is a religion and subsequent philosophy based on the
veneration or worship of Eris, a.k.a. Discordia, the Goddess of chaos,
or archetypes or ideals associated with her. It was founded after the
1963 publication of its holy book, the Principia Discordia,[1] written
by Greg Hill with Kerry Wendell Thornley, the two working under the
pseudonyms Malaclypse the Younger and Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst.
The religion has been likened to Zen based on similarities with
absurdist interpretations of the Rinzai school, as well as Taoist
philosophy.
****Discordianism is centered on the idea that both
order and disorder are illusions imposed on the universe by the human
nervous system, and that neither of these illusions of apparent order
and disorder is any more accurate or objectively true than the
other.****
There is some division as to whether it should be
regarded as a parody religion, and if so, to what degree.[2] It is
difficult to estimate the number of Discordians because they are not
required to hold Discordianism as their only belief system,[3] and
because there is an encouragement to form schisms and cabals".
