So I’ve been thinking. Yes. Again. I do do it from time to time albeit sparingly…

Being in a new job where I get to play with math again, I’ve been thinking more and more about probability. More specifically, unique probability. What does that mean or what does it mean to me? Well let me try to ‘xplain.

For each interaction we have, it has a unique probability. The people we meet, the things we do. Each has it’s own defined mathematical solution: A probability. The probability that I will get hit by a bus tomorrow is defined. Someone, somewhere has figured that out based on a set of data. So it seems logical to assume that the interaction of each individual can be defined as well. If one interaction (you getting hit by a bus) can be defined, can’t other interactions, either physical or personal, be defined as well?

Case in point:

• Recently I’ve met some really interesting people. Those meetings would not have taken place had I not taken the chance on interacting. Chance implies probability does it not? Sure you could argue that because these people did also choose to interact with me then the said probability was 1. However, let’s think about alternate universes where this interaction didn’t take place even though it was initiated in the same manner. That should have an associated probability of interaction. Again however since we don’t really know how many universes there are you can’t begin to define that probability, can you? And if not, then isn’t the fact that this interaction took place a unique probability?

Then I start thinking about transcendental numbers and think “Are these a type of transcendental probabilities’?”

I think too much. Maybe it’s just me. **shrugs**
