-mathematicians and philosophers of this tempest?

I feel Giordano seems to see the evolution of human civilization as a series of escalating natural events.

DR. RATIO IS GONNA RETRACE PATAVIA’s FOOTSTEPS, AND IN DOING SO HE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE THE KEY TO SAVING AMPHOREUS!!!!

Spoilers for 3.3 + some leaks (I think) ANYWAYS IVE BEEN INSANE ABOUT THIS FOR ~A Whole YEAR~ so yeah I’m making a tumblr post on it (cause even if TikTok users have no attention span, I know some people on here can read at least lmao)

For starters- who the fuck is Patavia?? (The love of my life/hj)

Well, she’s an NPC from the Council of Mundanites (which she helped form) that was alive during the Scholars Strife- which was essentially a fight that almost destroyed the Intellgencia Guild due to his members arguing and even battling eachother over how the remaining Scepters from Rubert II’s empire should be divided up and used.

Now, if you played the Amphoreus quest, you’d know that the game revealed that Amphoreus itself is made by one of these scepters- one that somehow managed to escape detection by the rest of the universe, concealing itself in the fabric of space time.

Back to Patavia, the situation of the Scholar’s strife eventually leads to her discovery of “solitary waves” aka literal manifestations of Nous’s calculations. By following them throughout the universe, Patavia eventually finds something incredibly important- the heart of the Scepter system.

Inside is the throne which Rubert II crowned himself on, and is also the center of the “brain” of the scepter system- basically the main control panel. Anyways, under the watchful eye of Polka Kakamond (who’s presence Patavia is aware of), she gains the opportunity to use THE WHOLE SCEPTER SYSTEM AT ONCE.

…And potentially to no longer be a Mundanite, and to become a Genius (Rubert III).

However, Patavia doesn’t believe she’s worthy of it, and although I haven’t mentioned it; the Mundanite’s core philosophy is the idea that knowledge should be used to benefit and uplift everyone before being used for selfish purposes (like many scholars in the scholars strife did).

Therefore, instead of asking for something new, Patavia wants to understand Nous’s calculations that they’ve already made (which unknowingly saves her life, as Polka Kakamond tries to kill anyone who pushes the boundaries of the Circle of Knowledge in a way that denies Nous’s calculations + advances the Finality).

She can’t comprehend it, but she does manage to propose the Solitary Waves theory, which Herta solves + causes her rise as a Genius.

This supposed “failure” is something the IG is so ashamed of, they used the History Fictionologists to cover it up, as they believe it proved that the mundane can never become Geniuses, due to how Patavia couldn’t ascend to becoming one despite the full power of the Scepter

Ironically, this actually saves her life, as the sense of doubt Polka creates prevents her from killing Patavia in the end since she stays within the circle of knowledge. While doing this, Patavia also fries the system in the process (good for her).

Now this is imperative to Amphoreus, as Polka, famous Rubert killer- would probably not approve of Lygus’s actions and how he’s suspiciously Rubert-ing too close to the sun.

In fact, that might actually be the reason why Amphoreus is hidden- as Lygus knows if Polka finds him, she’ll most likely kill him.

I think Screwllum and Herta are aware of this, as Polka is a firm believer in the Butterfly Effect, as depicted in the “Kill that Butterfly” curio, where even a small action can change everything (and if it relates to Nous, Polka’s gonna stop it).

When referring to Amphoreus, Screwllum says this:

-Meaning it’s probably not long before Polka comes knocking. GET HIS ASS QUEEN. KILL THAT FRAUDDD.

TLDR for this section: Lygus is probably gonna get slimed by Polka, Amphoreus is a Scepter and Patavia is a Mundanite that found the heart of the Scepter system, and “failed” to become a Genius while attempting to understand all the knowledge in the universe for the better of everyone.

So, as you’re probably asking: What the hell does this have to do with Dr. Ratio??

And I’ll answer: a lot actually.

_________________

PART TWO MY DOCTOR IS THE BUS DRIVER.

You probably noticed the me mentioning the Mundanites a lot, and that’s for a very important reason; Dr. Ratio is currently the leader of them RIGHT NOW.

(Aventurine also calls him the “Genius” of them in the 2.1 quest too hehe)

Meaning, if anyone’s going to be retracing her steps/mirroring her arc- it’s gonna be him, especially since they also share the same philosophy. We’ve gotten the other pieces from the Unknowable Domain like the Scepters + a hint at Polka’s involvement + a mention of the solitary waves theory, so it’s only a matter of time before the last part becomes relevant, especially considering that she’s the means where we learn about a lot of these things.

However, this doesn’t exactly point to Ratio saving everyone, even if I believe he will succeed where Patavia “failed” that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s gonna be the key piece in fixing this shit.

Butttt, the 2.1 Cosmodyssey event (which I’ve been tweaking out about for over a year) suggests otherwise 👀

This is the first mention of Amphoreus ever.

And as you can probably tell- the character Sparkle is playing of the “Divine Mecha” is 1000% Lygus or whatever his “real” identity is.

He invites the Trailblazer to participate in the “show” of Amphoreus, and saying “yes” is when things get interesting.

He sends a very Ratio-coded woman to help, and if we “win” we get to destroy Amphoreus.

Therefore, freeing everyone from the simulation, and thus saving them? Also, only be improvising well and being true to ourselves does he let us succeed, which is both a very HSR and a very Ratio thing for him to do.

Now, this raises the question- how the hell does Ratio know Lygus?? Sparkle (Lygus) and Lady Greenday (Ratio) are fellow masked fools and presumably friends or at least coworkers, considering Lady Greenday agrees to help Sparkle out with this.

However, based of off everything we know about Ratio and Patavia, he’d probably want to set that motherfucker on fire the moment he steps on screen.

What happens next will only be apparent as time goes on, however I do feel confident in saying Ratio will play a significant role in helping Amphoreus break away from the simulation, even if he may seem like a villain in the process.

I have a few running ideas for what might happen.

Ratio learns of Amphoreus via Screwllum and checking in on the DU again (since we shoved a bunch of Amphoreus’s data in there) + using the power of the scepter, takes that data and finds a way to make it a real place, perhaps by asking the scepter system (like Patavia once did) something new this time- a question like “how do I fix this?” which may or may not end really bad for him depending on how you interpret the “Destruction” part of this

He’s known Lygus all along- in-fact Lygus might have made up based off the Titankin and then ejected him from Amphoreus like March was, except he remembers and is coming back to fix things. I don’t see a possibility where he is friendly with Lygus, but maybe there’s some mind control/coercion going on, who knows?

He shows up but only as a support for Screwllum and Herta, which I’m fine w but damn it would be boring (at least we might get Screwtio crumbs).

Or, a secret 4th thing which is probably what’s really gonna happen.

Anyways thanks for reading, and let me know what you think. I’ve been losing my mind over this for so long and 3.3 is literally making my delusions come true YEAAHHHHH. I can and will elaborate on this I just wanted to get the basic idea out of the way. Amphoreus will get a happy ending.

The only 2 playable geniuses 💜💙

Scanned the sketches I did in school instead of paying attention :>

what if i (veilliene vanorie) made the dr. ratio SU duck into a clay figurine.

(it's not a what if.)

i'm normal about him.

So, uh I lost your ask 😭

But u sent it as a request, so sorry for the misunderstanding hehe

Let's do it!

Everyone stood in front of the entrance to Herta's office. They were about to enter simulated universe..they were about to meet up with their Aeon. No matter how hard the SU might be, the price was too much to lose. As the price was not only just seeing/meeting you. But also communicating and touching you. The way you oh so affectionately cuddle them after yet another battle. The way you speak to them. It's music to their ears. The way you move, oh so gracefully! You could trip and fall like a shrimp or lobster, but to them, this is the most beautiful fall ever. Like a dance.

They loved you, and were ready to fight anyone in UM. Bronya literally had to fight HERSELF and Cocolia. She almost cried. She knew it is a SIMULATED universe, none of this fights are real but.. it hurts

But meeting you is amazing reward. After everything, every single battle. Every single time they died and had to go back to the "field". They were rewarded with your affections and your attention. This...this was making then feel accomplished. Complete.

No matter what they go through, they go all out. Just for you. Just to see you again. Just to feel your eyes on them for a little more

A/N: sorry that this is short 😭

You ever think about the fact that Welt has (with enough Honkai energy) the power to replicate things if he understands them enough?

You ever think about the fact that the Simulated Universe's purpose is to collect every bit of information it can get about Aeons? Specifically their Ascension?

Huh...

Bringing Ratio on every run in the new Simulated Universe just to aggressively side-eye him as more and more of Intelligentsia Guild's bullshit gets exposed

HI GUYS BRIEF COMEBACK BECAUSE I HAVE A THEORY ON AMPHOREUS AND OMGGG

Also brief disclaimer obviously I’m not the person who started the “Amphoreus is a simulation” thing, and I wish I knew who did so I could credit them, so this is just me + my friend building off of that + the lore we are already familiar with and stage 4 doctor Ratio brainrot!!!

Okay this probably made no sense BUT I HAD TO GET IT OUT INTO THE ETHER I HAD TOOOO- I’ll probably make a more refined version of it later but tell me what you think loll

"Where is your god now?"

...right here. XD *hugs Anaxa-kun*

Anaxagoras: Stop that. :|

Nothing like kicking off the new DU update with a hilarious run that ended with a ton of curios (including forced auto-battle), equations, and even a total path unlock. And this is on EU, where Anaxa is still min-maxing although my gods has he landed some very nice gloves:

[number-1-akitoya-fan]

so in gold and gears there's an event in the Cognition domains that's technically kinda sorta about the intelligencia guild, the one where this Dr no. 5 guy offs himself (rip bozo) and they mention dr ratio. but the thing is, gold and gears takes place a LOOONG time before hsr's current events and the Herta gang wouldnt have included something that didn't pertain to the secrets they were trying to discover. So ratios just old as hell or something

Even the cover of the Occurrence has a ref to him, with a scholar with a laurel and a tome/book with the same design as Ratios

and I think it's kind of funny because all that it reminds me of is tim horton. specifically tim horton from graystillplays sims series.

the Imaginary has always been my strongest team and Aventurine makes it complete 🥺💛

finally cleared the Difficulty V of "Swarm Disaster" and "Gold & Gear" SU, both on Elation 🔥✨️

credits aren't necessary but very much appreciated ! ( no need to credit me on this one, there's too many mistakes and i am too dramatic to fix it)

notes : i'm not as proud of this one .
