@FionaCraig@HighlandLawyer@cstross@mxchara Presumably the calculus of sin allows you to solve the differential equation describing the R-C circuit in the Church, and determine that it's all sin (or cos, with a phase offset).
@cstross@bassthang@mxchara on further thinking, the notion of "Generalized Coordinates" from Classical Mechanics seems perfectly applicable to developing a mathematics of Classical Evil using Generalized Sins.
Hm, I wonder if Lev Landau is in the Good Place or the Bad Place? Whichever one, I'm sure Lifschitz is there with him else nobody else could understand anything he says.
@cstross@mxchara Is the RC Church correct that forming the intent to commit a sinful act is itself a separate sin from the subsequent act? Though in that case there's presumably a by reference value combined with vector variables for any variation from the original.
