Author's summary: None. A meta explaining the metaphorical meaning of the mathematical equations in Mycroft's notebook in TAB.

Reccer's comments: The enigmatic inscriptions in Mycroft's notebook in one of the modern scenes of TAB have garnered plenty of fan attention. Cosmoglaut identified the mathematical equations (post linked in the article) and then toxicsemicolon explained their metaphorical meaning. It's elegant and brilliant and altogether lovely that someone decided to put two such appropriate equations referencing John Watson in that notebook.

WOW and WOW.
Also, I saw that the number on top relates to a color wheel that matches the purple of the bisexual flag. So Mycroft basically knows John is bi, is Sherlock's rock, and his conductor of light. Wonderful!

I don't completely understand all this, but it's pretty cool.

Thank you for reccing this! I got very nerdily excited when I saw what the equations actually were. Major props to whoever thought of using Mycroft's notebook to declare Sherlock's love for John mathematically. <3
