Headcanon Time #1 - Hermann Gottlieb uses UDC to organize his books

I needed some pretty detailed information about Hermann and Newton’s lab and so I was doing screencaps of it from the first “Pacific Rim” movie and making notes about everything that’s there. At one point you can see that on Hermann’s side of the lab he has some books with white stickers at the bottom. At first I didn’t even acknowledge this as odd, because I see books with similar stickers every day. I work as a librarian in a rather small school library (~12.000 books total). We use those stickers to write an UDC number of the book - it’s basically a signature of the book’s place in the library, so a number that tells you exactly where the book is or should be according to an international standard. Now I’ll go into some detailed explenation, for those who are interested. If you want to just go to the headcanon itself it’ll be at the very end of the post. So, the UDC stands for Universal Decimal Classification and in general it goes as follows: 0 - general science (aka a category for all of the books that don’t fit anywhere else) 1 - philosophy 2 - religion 3 - social sciences (sociology, law, etc.) 4 - that’s the most insane one, because no book in the world has a UDC that would start with a 4. It’s a number reserved for a yet undiscovered branch of science. 5 - mathematics 6 - biology, medicine, technology 7 - art, sport, hobbies 8 - language (books about linguistics, all of the literature - poems, prose, everything) 9 - history and geography Each library can tweak it a bit to match it’s purpose - for example theoretically all textbooks should be under 3, but seeing as we are a high school library, a pretty big chunk of our books are various textbooks. Putting them all next to one another wouldn’t make much sense, so we divide them into all of the other classes: maths textbooks go under 5, history textbooks go under 9 etc. And you can go deeper. Those first numbers are just a general idea of the branch of science the book belongs to, but for example if we take 5 it contains not only mathematics, but also eg. astronomy, physics or chemistry. And if you add jest one more number to the UDC, you can differenciate between them: 51 is maths, 52 is astronomy, 53 is physics, 54 is chemistry and so on. But you can go even deeper! 51(075) - this number says “Hey, this book should be in the mathematical section of the library. It’s about pure mathematics and it’s a teaching material for this subject, a textbook to be more specific!” And you can go on and on, depending on the level of complexity that you need. You can basically say what the whole book is about in pure numbers. It’s pretty awesome. But in most libraries only the librarian has access to an UDC number of the book - nowadays it’s just in the electronic system and you can access it with a swipe of a scanner. But, as I said, we’re pretty small, not really public - all in all we’re still a pretty old-school library and we don’t have barcode scanners installed yet. And so, we put UDC numbers on the books themselves. Not only on the inside, but also on a white sticker at the bottom of the book’s spine. It helps immediately spot a misplaced book which is a huge help in high school environment, believe me. It also aids in positioning the book on the shelf. There is a complicated system for this too, don’t worry. The general idea is that books should be sorted alphabethically by the last name of the author. But there are so many exceptions to this rule, especially in education-oriented libraries, that it’s just a general idea. A quick example: if the book has two authors, you use the surname of the fist one, easy enough. But if it has three or more authors, you sort it alphabetically by it’s title, not caring about the authors at all. It’s easier to have a very detailed and complex UDC system, where the only thing you have to do is to compare numbers from 1 to 10, than to rely on the ofeten unclear alphabetical sorting system. The headcanon begins now! When it finally clicked that normal people don’t have any reason to put such stickers on their books I began to wonder why on earth does Hermann have them. And I just like to think that he’s using the UDC system for his personal books. Judging by the look of his side of the lab, he has loads of them. If we assume that most of them are coding/maths books he might need to check them from time to time for reference. And wouldn’t it make sense for him to have a system based on numbers that would ensure that they are immaculately sorted at all times for quick access? And that would allow him to re-organize them quickly if Newton someone messes them up or after moving the whole collection to another location?

Newton is awful at first impressions. Simply awful. And he’s even worse at seducing people. But he’s not one to give up easily, so if he decided that he’s going to hit on Hermann Gottlieb than he’s going to try his hardest. Which means using all of the terrible pick-up lines that he can think of.
