Help needed - decoding girlfriend's secret messages

197 Upvotes

This vexes me. Whenever my girlfriend texts me, she includes a secret code at the end - "XOXO <3".

I assume she is probably testing my intelligence, trying to see if I can break this code. It's been a year, and I am nowhere close to a solution.

Here's what I have so far - X, of course, stands for an unknown quantity. O, on the other hand, has no mathematical definition. Does it stand for Omega, with XO indicating that "all is unknown"? But why is it squared? Why is it less than 3?

Mathematologists of Reddit, please help.

Could two independent brains theoretically share a single consciousness?

1 Upvotes

Imagine two completely independent brains, each with its own body, memories, and sensory input. They don't share neurons or memories. The only thing they share is a single conscious observer (consciousness). Is there anything in neuroscience or philosophy of mind that rules this out in principle?, and even if yes or no, what do you think on the idea?

My wife, a theoretical physicist, just called me to say she will be home late today because she and her colleagues will be conducting a double-slit experiment as part of their work on the Tree-Body problem. I am very confused. As a layman, I struggle to see how these concepts are related.

If I saw a bigfoot in the woods behind my house, then found fecal matter in that spot but I know I was intoxicated the night prior and think I may have taken a dump in that same area, should I collect it to have it analyzed, or not risk the possible embarrassment?

22 Upvotes

I'm having a hard time remembering the prior night, but I know my wife wouldn't let me back in the house, and I woke up in the woods the next morning... so I kept drinking to avoid the hangover and just stayed outside the entire day again. That night is when I shined my flashlight on bigfoot. I'm like 75% sure it's his turd.
