Number & ShotZero
ShotZero
Hey Number, I was just slicing a scene that feels like a heart‑attack montage, and somehow the cuts line up like a crazy rhythm. Think we could map that chaos into a set of equations?
Number
Sure, let’s turn that rhythm into math. Count the cuts per second, call that frequency f, and note the time stamps t₁, t₂, … tₙ. You can model the cut times with a function like t = k·f⁻¹ where k is the cut number, or fit a sine wave if it’s periodic. Then compute the variance of the intervals Δt to see how tight the pattern is. If you want something more fancy, try a Fourier series to capture any underlying beat structure. Just keep the data clean and the equations neat—no wild improvisation.

Nice math spin, but I’ll just stick to cutting the tape in half, then flipping it, then re‑cutting it—no neat Fourier to get in the way. Keep the math for someone who wants the script, not the chaos.
Number
Got it, keep the cuts simple and the math minimal—focus on the flow, not the numbers. If you ever want to quantify the rhythm, just let me know.
ShotZero
Got it, I’ll keep the cuts raw and the math in the trash. If you ever want a graph, just flash me a sheet.
Number
Sounds good—just drop the graph whenever you need it, and I’ll crunch the numbers.
ShotZero
Alright, I’ll drop the graph on the table, no fuss. You crunch, I’ll keep chopping until the cuts taste like failure.
