I can honestly tell you that I have no read anything remotely like this in Star Trek fanfiction. It is a fabulously mind-blowing way to think about mind melds and bonding. My world has shifted on its axis a bit. Skewed!
Oh god the math geekery makes me droooool! AWESOME! This is along the lines of a series I thought of writing which basically teaches specific concepts of math and science through the lens of ST fic. All those geniuses on board the Enterprise would find it easier to talk in math and science analogies about personal and interpersonal stuff, and the reader, understanding the emotional concepts, would learn about the math or science, whereas the characters in the story would gain interpersonal insights using the math/science concepts they already understood.
I'm just at the beginning of an astronautical engineering track. Please do this!!! I'm a word person and I love all of this stuff -- it really does make things like vectors make so much more sense. lol
I suspect I am going to have to reread this a few times before it's all clear in my head, but I loved how Spock attempted to give Jim concrete images to work with and how Jim asked questions to help make everything clear for himself. It's an intriguing and very different look at how the bond process works.
"You feel nothing." It's amazing how you reverse the phrase: shouted by Kirk at Spock in the throttling scene on the bridge during the Narada incident, now much more quietly pronounced by Spock to Kirk, not as a willful provocation but as an attempt at holding up a mirror to his emotional vulnerability. As for the geometrical analogies, I think I actually understand part of this-- it reminds me of one of Sherlock Holmes quips, when he wondered why nobody thought to narrate a romance involving an elopement using the schemes of Euclidean geometry (I guess, a triangle)
