I really like this. Spock's failure in using his more traditional approach of mathematics and logic to explain his own situation and his relationship with Jim and Bones seems here to be the key to his change in personality. He seems mildly frustrated by it, he makes repeated attempts to conquer this (Kirk-force!), but in the end he's accepting. I've always loved the words of Ruth, the ultimate declaration of devotion imo, and it seems fitting that Spock, lacking words of his own, keeps returning to them when he finds his actions mirroring hers. So beautiful.
How many times have he and I disagreed and argued? How often have we misunderstood each other, doubted, angered, hated, annoyed, aggravated, upset, insulted, violated, confused, hurt, or simply not seen each other?
Wow, Spock. Look at all those emotions you're owning up to! Even if he's not quite ready to label is feelings for Jim more precisely, Spock's assessment of their relationship is wonderful. He has come so far from that man who had no idea what made Jim Kirk tick.
That was really amazing. Spock's analysis of his relationships just goes to show his development through the story. And I really appreciate what you did with the Riemann sum. A nice mathematical analogy
I've never really understood the Pythagorean belief that questions of the human condition were answered in mathematics. Perhaps they can't in simple geometry and trig, but I sort of had an epiphany when you brought up Riemann sums. Advanced mathematics can, with the right point of view, be subtle enough to draw parallels as thorough and relevant as any use of the arts. And this from the kid who hated math class.
