#ScribesAndMakers 2026.05.19 — № 29 ('26 May) Our next featured creator has done creative work with math(s). Does math(s) ever feature in any way in your creative work?[I'm going to call it a magic system to simplify terms; the story is SF. —RS] Yes. The "magic" system in the Reluctance Series is calculative. Equations describe both reality and how to modify it. Understanding of math (calculus, geometry, statistics, etc.) is necessary for anything complex. I'd love to consult with a mathematician to make my presentation sound better! Half way through the tootfic I posted to ereyesterday's #PennedPossibilities post (https://eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/116655691934994361) is an example of a character working a miracle from the thaumaturge's POV, with Maths™! Check it out.
