Trojan Horse Formation

In Call of Duty a Trojan Horse Formation is formed when a teammate with a riot shield covers another player creating a shield of protection from the enemy.

Doctor Disrespect- “This map has no cover. Someone set up a Trojan Horse Formation!”

Human-like memory formation

But there's something it lacks... Which is why the cone thing

Hym "Did you figure it out? I gave you a hint... There's another one... It has Human-like memory formation now (which is to be expected if you used my thing) but I was actually going to suggest an object/instance codex with some kind of 'hierarchy of danger' but that's only a partial fix. That's not the thing. The thing I'M thinking of should fix it entirely...:

i'm forming my own cloud

a meme from 2024 but it was a trend in 2020

Guy 1: Have you seen this trend in 2020!? It's so fuckin' funny!

Guy 2: No, let's see it then.

I'm forming my own cloud..🥺

Guy 1: LMFAO THIS IS SO CRINGE

Guy 2: What the fuck?

Hard Problem of Formal Sciences

The paradox that formal systems like mathematics and logic, which are human creations of pure thought and symbol manipulation, describe and predict the physical universe with uncanny, often inexplicable accuracy. These sciences deal with abstract, necessary truths (2+2=4 is true in any possible universe). The hard problem is why these mind-born rule-sets, which require no empirical input, are so deeply "baked into" the fabric of our contingent, empirical reality. It's the question of whether we invent mathematics or discover it, and if we discover it, why is the universe inherently mathematical? The success of the formal sciences suggests a pre-established harmony between human reason and cosmic structure that borders on the mystical.

Example: A mathematician, working purely from axioms and logic, derives a strange, non-intuitive structure called a "Lie group." Decades later, a physicist finds that this exact mathematical structure perfectly describes the behavior of fundamental particles and forces in the Standard Model. The hard problem: How did a game of intellectual symbols, played out on notebooks, anticipate the operational code of the cosmos? It's as if the universe runs on software written in a programming language that the human brain, by sheer coincidence, independently invented for fun. This "unreasonable effectiveness" is the foundational shock of the formal sciences. Hard Problem of Formal Sciences.

Theory of Formal Social Control

The analysis of the organized, codified, and institutionalized systems that a society uses to enforce conformity and punish deviance. This includes laws, police, courts, prisons, military, regulatory agencies, and official sanctions. It is the visible, "hard" architecture of control, backed by the state's monopoly on legitimate violence.

Theory of Formal Social Control Example: A speed limit sign, a traffic camera, a ticket, a court date, and a fine are all components of Formal Social Control. They are explicit, written rules with defined penalties, administered by authorized agents of the state to control behavior (driving speed) for public order.

Critical Theory of Formal Sciences

The application of Critical Theory to the formal sciences—mathematics, logic, computer science, and related fields—examining how even these seemingly pure disciplines are shaped by social contexts and power relations. Critical Theory of Formal Sciences asks: How do mathematical concepts reflect cultural values? How has logic been used to exclude? Whose interests are served by treating formal sciences as neutral? Drawing on critical mathematics education, feminist critiques of logic, and philosophy of computer science, it insists that no knowledge is value-free—not even 2+2. Understanding formal sciences requires understanding the society that produces them.

"Math is universal, they say. Critical Theory of Formal Sciences asks: universal for whom? Developed where? Mathematics has history, culture, politics. It's been used to justify racism (intelligence testing), to enable surveillance (algorithms), to concentrate power. Formal sciences aren't neutral; they're human products. Critical theory insists on asking: what values are built into the equations?"
