[Gottlob1]

Youth isn't a time of quick answers, and play, but, of patiently asking yourself all of the questions that you hope to answer in a lifetime. Enchantment, versus, nay, converted to, enlightenment.

Which sort of lets me with one more question, to do with the reason for y = 2x^2 - 2x + 113/102 (my basic equation wrt to the thus constants), in the sense that it's a parabola. What's going on there?

Hopefully, another good answer, so that the enchantment of the question is forever lost.
