The Initial Conditions (The Abstract)

We have reached t = 10 weeks, 2 days. In most biological systems, ten weeks is enough time for a new habit to become a permanent neural pathway. For Alexandra Fainter, the "William Variable" is no longer an external disturbance; it has become the primary component of her daily function.

I observe her in the faculty lounge - the red pen moves, but the "Glowing" state suggests an internal thermal energy that exceeds her usual resting state.

The Analytical Body

Axiom 1: On Following Blindly (With Mathematical Precautions)

William proposes a "Blind Trust Exercise." For a woman who lives by the Euclidean principle - the shortest distance between two points being a straight line - the idea of walking into the unknown is a high-risk operation.

As they navigate the corridor, they debate the efficiency of the hypotenuse versus the right angle. Alex's willingness to follow him - even when the path is obstructed by the "Vending Machine Variable" - indicates that her Trust Coefficient has reached an all-time high.

Path Sequence: lounge → vending machine variable → empty hallway → stop. Risk recalibrated every 3 steps.

Axiom 2: On Predictable Constants

The faculty lounge, with its "Bickering English Teacher" background noise, has become their Steady State. It is a predictable constant in a life once defined by solitary variables. When William whispers for her to close her eyes, he is asking her to shut down her primary data input and rely entirely on the Tactile Connection.

Axiom 3: On Trust and Empty Hallways

As they move through the dark, I record a series of "Small Surrenders":

Closing eyes without protest.
Counting steps out loud.
Laughing at the vending machine variable.
Confirming the duration: ten weeks and two days.

Theorem: On Statistical Impossibilities

They stop in an empty hallway. To a casual observer, it is a null set (empty). But for the Architect, it is the perfect canvas.

The Declaration: "It is statistically impossible for me to love you anymore, Ms. Fainter."
In mathematical terms: William claims to have reached the Absolute Limit.
Alex identifies the move as "cheating" - using her own language to dismantle her defenses.
lim(t → ∞) f(L) = Absolute Limit

The Evidence (The Climax)

The "I Love You" exchange is the final Q.E.D. of the fall Fall. Two weeks later, the system exhibits Phase-Locking. In the high-entropy environment of the lounge, they remain "In Phase." A secret gaze passed through the noise of clattering trays and bells. The red pen in Alex's hand is lighter now; her "Overactive Brain" is finally quieted by a Steady Constant.

When they walk to their cars, the intertwining of fingers is a public confirmation - a physical proof that requires no further variables. William's explanation for the hallway is the ultimate architectural truth: Love does not need grand coefficients or elaborate blueprints. It just needs two points in an ordinary space, being extraordinary together.

Finding: Phase-locking achieved in high-entropy lounge.
Constant: Red pen lighter; mind quieter.
Proof: Intertwined fingers in an empty hallway.
