so last night i had this dream that math 2 was invented (bear with me) and it kinda revolved around the idea of phonetics and numbers being like connected and shit like actual words had a numeric value attached to them and whenever you wanted to add up or subtract numbers you'd do it based on the way you pronounce them and there was this really nice electronics store clerk (tbh i think he was god) who took some time to teach me how to use this system and how to write the numbers down and you were supposed to actually write the numbers with the IPA notation like it was wild and i think i accidentally uncovered some fundamental secret of the 5th dimension cause there's no way my brain could come up with shit like that
