Church's Law of Intractable Definition

Every engineer, at some point, finds equations that have no practical solution outside the realm of null sets… no logarithmic value for irony, no indices that include supercilious smiles, no random variables defining limits of affection when extracted from radicals as defined by love on the ascension and hate on the decline. What value is attributed to a baby’s expression as it reaches out in wide-eyed wonder and with one finger gently touches your nose? Is your teenage daughter’s snit (upon being reprimanded for a low mark in school) assigned a positive or negative coefficient? How much quantum energy must be applied to the note you write to your neighbor’s wife when he succumbs to injuries sustained from the freeway crash?

No matter how closely we try to control our values, either positive or negative, or how many scientifically supported definitions we apply to contain the random aspects of our endeavors, no one can assign even a single constant that applies to everyone, every time.

This might explain why an engineer (or more specifically, this engineer) is so grateful for every single person who reads his ridiculous words. Remember… sanity cannot be quantified; it can only be deduced, and then only with great peril.
