This was in response to a Challenge at The Prose

The basis of the challenge: Our English prowess is obvious – so let’s put it to the test by writing something math inspired. Numbers, equations, all things mathy. Very different from the Prose norm.

So I actually am a Software Engineer / Computer Scientist – this isn’t an actual programming language (as I wanted the idea to be futuristic) but it is true enough in spirit to be an honest vehicle for hopefully something a little unique.
