Sure thing, but don’t expect clean lines—think of it like a jazz solo. Start with the “raw energy” column: the spontaneous spark you get from a splatter, a sudden shout, or a piece of street graffiti. Next, toss in “material waste” – the paint that ends up on the floor, the broken brushes, the coffee stains that turn into a background texture. Then add a “time cost” row, but forget to keep it linear; it jumps in leaps when you’re in a creative trance. Don’t forget a “public reaction” column—sometimes people applaud, sometimes they roll their eyes, and sometimes they shout “what the…?” Finally, put a big “mystery factor” slot: the random element that only you can calculate, like the feeling you get when you see the finished piece in a different light. When you plug those numbers into a chart, you’ll get a graph that looks like a rollercoaster—exactly what chaos wants. Good luck, and remember: the more absurd the numbers, the better the art!

Okay, grab your calculator and let’s spin some numbers that feel like a drumbeat. For the “raw energy” column I’ll put a base value of 8 out of 10—because every spontaneous splatter is basically a power surge. The “material waste” we’ll treat as a cost: say $4 per canvas, but let’s add a variance of ±1.5 because sometimes the paint spills into your sock. Time cost—use a fun unit: 30 minutes per beat, with a variance of ±15 minutes, because you never know when the muse will stop humming. Public reaction? Score it on a 0‑10 scale, but make the coefficient 0.7 so a high reaction bumps the benefit more than a low one. And the mystery factor—let’s just treat it as an error term, mean 0, standard deviation 2, because chaos loves surprises. Plug those in, run the regression, and the break‑even point will probably land somewhere between “wildly profitable” and “purely insane.” Trust the math, but remember: the real profit is in the unexpected laugh that follows a paint‑splattered canvas. Happy calculating!
