Hillbilly Mathematics

The phenomena of conflicting family relationship statuses where childbirth through incest turns a family tree into a family spiderweb.
According to hillbilly mathematics, a man who bears a child with his mother becomes his own father, the child becomes the man's brother, and the man's father then becomes his step brother.

Transcendental Mathematics

A theoretical branch of mathematics that deals with concepts, dimensions, and logical frameworks so abstract they transcend not only human intuition but potentially the physical reality of our universe. It’s math that describes the scaffolding of multiverses, the formal logic of consciousness, or the geometric rules of higher spatial dimensions. This isn't just harder calculus; it's the search for the fundamental "code" of reality itself, which may be inherently ungraspable by our biologically-evolved, three-dimensional brains.
*Example: Attempts to formulate a mathematical framework for a Type IV Multiverse (encompassing all possible mathematical structures), or to develop a formal theory of qualia (subjective experience), would be ventures into Transcendental Mathematics. It's the math that might underpin the simulation hypothesis or describe the geometry of a 11-dimensional Calabi-Yau manifold in string theory.*

The application of Critical Theory to mathematics—examining how mathematical knowledge is constructed, how it's used, and how it reflects and reinforces power. Critical Theory of Mathematics asks: Is mathematics universal, or is it culturally specific? How has mathematics been used to justify racism (intelligence testing), colonialism (surveying), and exploitation (algorithmic oppression)? Who gets to be a mathematician, and who's excluded? Drawing on ethnomathematics, critical math education, and postcolonial theory, it insists that mathematics is never just numbers—it's a human activity, shaped by history, culture, and power.
"Math is universal, they say. Critical Theory of Mathematics asks: universal for whom? Developed where? The math taught in schools is one tradition among many—and it's been used to measure skulls, justify eugenics, design weapons. Math isn't neutral; it's a tool. Critical theory insists on asking: who uses this tool, and for what?"
