Weeping Angels Are Conceptual Entities

In their first appearance (Series 3’s Blink), the Weeping Angels are a race of monsters who can only move and live when no other creature is looking at them. As soon as they are perceived, they become quantum locked and turn into stone statues. They feed by shifting their victims back in time and absorbing the potential energy of the life they would’ve lived in their original era.

Yet even in that story they’re called “creatures of the abstract.” This description would make more sense in their next appearance (S5’s Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone), where we see a long-dormant angel crash-land a human ship above a labyrinth that held a multitude of other dormant angels.

In this story the angels display the ability to act on the world around them in non-physical ways. The first angel causes the ship it’s in to crash without leaving its prison cell. Then it inspects the area around the ship by using a projection of its image in a camera recording to manifest outside the crash site. While it does this, it is also able to deadlock the temporary shelter where its image manifests.

Then, after killing two soldiers from a military force that arrived on the planet to re-capture it, the angel strips their cerebral cortex and uses their consciousness to communicate via radio with the Doctor, his companions, and the other soldiers. All the while the radiation from the crashed ship slowly revives the dormant angels in the labyrinth, and they all proceed to hunt the humans as they try (and fail) to harness the energy from a time rift in the hopes of becoming a formidable force in the universe again.

Besides seeing an expansion of their abilities in this episode, we also get some interesting lore from a book written about the angels. The book explains how the projection of an angel is an extension of it, “That which holds the image of an angel becomes itself an angel.” It speculates on their abstract origin, “What if we had ideas that could think for themselves? What if, one day, our dreams no longer needed us?” And it even explains how they can infect and possess a living being who looks into their eyes, “The eyes are not the windows of the soul, they are the doors. Beware what may enter them.” And as the other angels in the story begin to regenerate from shapeless humanoid statues to their angelic forms, the Doctor states “Their image is their power.”

All of this means that the angels in this story have become, essentially, conceptual entities. They are perceived physically as stone statues, but they operate primarily as non-corporeal beings.

“As conceptual entities only seem to affect the minds of their victims, it’s often said that the entities are ‘made out of pure thought’, but this is clearly inaccurate as thought itself isn’t a substance. Although many people are determined to think of the entities as telepathic presences, or neurological parasites, or in some cases even ‘spirits’, in fact it’s much more accurate to think of them as nothing more than hostile ideas. They exist by bypassing matter altogether, and instead giving themselves structure inside the meanings of things.” — The Book of the War

At this point, the angels are no longer simply monsters who move when they aren’t seen. They are living ideas who exist on the periphery of perception. They affect the world primarily through non-physical means. As conceptual entities, the angels infect the physical world, reshaping its meaning to suit their needs and to give them power and form.

This post is already long enough, so instead of going into more detail about other stories. I’d like to conclude by mentioning how in their most recent TV stories, in Flux, we see a group of angels working as operatives for Division. They are killers-for-hire for this ancient temporal power that exists outside of normal time and space, a notion that goes back to their original description in Blink as “the lonely assassins.” In other words, they are conceptual entities who are living weapons at the service of a Time Lord interference group that has abandoned the physical universe.

This may all be coincidence, but regardless, I love thinking about how the angels have gone from being a creative monster of the week to becoming another televised incarnation of ideas from the Faction Paradox and Doctor Who literary universes.

Did you know if a number is divisible by 3, you can add all the digits of the number and the sum is divisible by 3? For example, 327 is divisible by 3 and 3+2+7 = 12, which is divisible by 3.

For the Proof on why this is, click Read More

Prerequisite Knowledge

Numbers

Yes, I need to explain how numbers work for this proof.

Let's go back to elementary school. You're being taught basic addition of multi-digit numbers. You're given the number 54,321. 54,321 = 50,000 + 4,000 + 300 + 20 + 1

Let's expand that a little.

54,321 = 5*10,000 + 4*1,000 + 3*100 + 2*10 + 1

Now I''m going to take an aside and mention exponents, just in case.

Normal notation for exponents are a base number with a smaller number floating on the top right corner of your base value. Since Tumblr can't support that notation, I'll use a^b as the notation.

When you have an exponent, you have to multiply the base number by itself however many times the exponent number is. For example, 3^4 = 3*3*3*3 = 81.

Also, if the exponent value is 0 or smaller, you start dividing by the base number instead. So 3^0 = 3/3 = 1.

Now that I've explained that, let's go back to earlier.

54,321 = 5*10,000 + 4*1,000 + 3*100 + 2*10 + 1

Each digit in 54,321 is beling multiplied by an exponential power of 10.

54,321 = 5*10^4 + 4*10^3 + 3*10^2 + 2*10^1 + 1*10^0

This expanded form of an arbitrary number is going to be necessary for the proof.

Modulo and Equivalence

Let's go back to elementary school again. Remember how in division, you'd give a remainder as part of your answer? 12 / 5 = 2 remainder 2.

The modulo operator returns the remainder when you divide two numbers. In programming, % is used for modulo so I'll use that for notation. So 12 % 5 = 2.

An expansion of modulo is equivalence. Two numbers are equivalent under a modulo value when both numbers have the same remainder when divided by the modulo value. Under modulo value 5, 7 and 12 are equivalent because 7 % 5 = 2 and 12 % 5 = 2.

The normal notation for equivalence is the equal sign with 3 lines instead of 2. I'll use == for the notation here.

Since 7 and 12 are equivalent under mod 5, the notation is 7 == 12 (mod 5)

If a number is evenly divisible by a modulo power, it's equivalent to 0. 5 / 5 = 1, therefore 5 % 5 = 0, therefore 5 == 0 (mod 5)

There are some special rules about numbers that are equivalent. We'll let a, b, c, and m be arbitrary numbers.

If a == b (mod m), then a+c == b+c (mod m) If a == b (mod m), then a*c == b*c (mod m) If a == b (mod m), then a^c == b^c (mod m)

The Proof

Now let's move onto the proof.

Let's say we have some arbitrary whole number X which is divisible by 3. That means there is some whole number c such that X = 3*c. So if X is 327, c would be 109 because 109*3 = 327.

Now let's rewrite X into the expanded form from the Numbers section. We'll let d(0) refer to the least significant digit (The one at the far right). d(1) will be the next least significant digit and so on until we reach d(n), the most significant digit.

X = d(n)*10^n + d(n-1)*10^(n-1) + ... + d(1)*10^1 + d(0)*10^0

Since X is divisible by 3, that means the long form of X is equal to 3c.

d(n)*10^n + d(n-1)*10^(n-1) + … + d(1)*10^1 + d(0)*10^0 = 3*c

Now let's start doing some modulo.

10 == 1 (mod 3)

By the earlier rules mentioned in the Modulo section, we can multiply and exponentiate each term (The parts between the +) and they're still equivalent. So now we'll replace each term with an equivalent term under mod 3.

d(n)*10^n + d(n-1)*10^(n-1) + ... + d(1)*10^1 + d(0)*10^0 == d(n)*1^n + d(n-1)*1^(n-1) + … + d(1)*1^1 + d(0)*1^0 (mod 3)

1 exponentiated to any power is 1 so

d(n)*10^n + d(n-1)*10^(n-1) + ... + d(1)*10^1 + d(0)*10^0 == d(n) + d(n-1) + … + d(1) + d(0) (mod 3)

Meanwhile 3*c == 0 (mod 3). Since 3*c = X, then anything equivalent to X is equivalent to 0.

d(n) + d(n-1) + … + d(1) + d(0) == 0 (mod 3)

At this point we can say the sum of all the digits of X can be divided by 3 because the sum would have no remainder.

So in conclusion, if the sum of all the digits of a number can be divided by 3, then the number can be divided by 3.

Please Stop.

I wish I didn’t have to make this post, but it’s happened to me too many times for me not to say anything. Please stop telling people to kill themselves because you disagree with them.

Please stop telling people to self harm because you don’t believe what they believe.

Please stop telling people they are not valid or needed in the world because they are standing up for their beliefs.

Please stop telling people to disregard themselves to make you feel comfortable.

Please stop spreading hate and promoting bullying because you don’t have a good argument.

Please stop degrading people because you feel like they are wrong.

Please stop ganging up on people because you dislike a ship.

Please stop demonizing people on posts that aren’t even related to the problem your talking about.

Please stop going into spaces that are not meant for you and harassing the users.

Please stop invalidating medical and/or mental health issues because of something they cannot control.

Please stop sending hate to authors because you don’t like what they write.

If you do these things, YOU are the problem, YOU are the hateful one. YOU are the issue. YOU are the outlier, YOU are in the wrong. It should be common sense. If you don’t like something, you scroll away, you block the tag, you politely explain your position, you block the person. You DO NOT create a hostile environment. Shame on you. Shame on all of you.

And if you agree with this, remember it goes both ways. Whatever you believe there is someone on the other side you need to respect enough not to do these things. We’re all just human.

So the division is a secretive time lord intelligence agency that intervenes in the course of history when the time lords deem it necessary?

Wait a minute, wait a fucking minute? That’s just the CIA (celestial intervention agency)!!!

The ZZ plant was well overdue for a repot so decided I'd do it before tree pruning today. Shouldn't take that long right?

Oh darling

How greatly I underestimated what I was getting myself into. It took me several hours to untangle and tickle apart the roots from themselves before I could even think of repotting. I wish I took a photo after I got the roots free but I got interrupted during the repotting process due to having to help with a lamb and ended up forgetting.

The rootballs were so huge that I decided to instead divide apart some of the tubers where I could and repot them into several pots instead of a single giant pot.

one chunk of tuber got separated from the greenery but still had an eye so I threw it into a tiny pot to see what happens as well.

Two okay-ish stems got broken off accidentally so I decided to throw them in water to try rooting more up- not that I need more ZZ plants when one specimen has already become 3

While tree pruning outside is taking main priority I've been wanting to work on cleaning repotting up more of the houseplants so may try to juggle a little of each done each day. Will try to report for whichever houseplants get done next.

This is how you'll end being a split personality and end up having a great division within yourself. When your heart moves in one direction while your body is engaged in a totally different direction. When your values you believe in and the ideals you admire don't match with the lifestyle you're leading. When your words don't match with what resonates within your heart. When you have high aspirations but you make no effort at all in bringing them to the physical realm. When you nod your head with the society and don't rebel against matters that are utterly wrong. And above all, when you allow someone else to craft the course of your life, then your destruction is completed!

Oppressors want for minorities of all colors, from all places of origin and backgrounds to be against one another or at odds with one another. They want us to be wishy-washy, to be picky and selfish, to be upset and close ourselves off and disconnect from others. I cannot believe that as a group of people we’re still concerned about who did what TO who, who did what FOR who. Who supported who the most when they were being oppressed, whose the better minority, who deserves to suffer most and who doesn’t when at the end of the day the common oppressor doesn’t want any of you to have anything and knows that a non minority group and it’s supremacy, and the teachings of such will drive a hard line between everyone. What sense does that make to be divided in an instance in which people deserve Justice? I thought we learned that race wars and disagreements about who were the most oppressed led to nothing but more violence and more division and pain.

Wow people really hate black women and butch lesbians. Smh.

( I was just watching a video of a man saying homophobic slurs towards the black women in the WNBA)

Caitlin Clark is amazing and so are the the other women playing the game. Lets let them all bring the wnba back and give people something to talk about. Not some antifa and kkk division like this. This is not what MLK fought for.

Most of these girls are friends in RL. All colors. Sport and music used to bring people together outside of race and sexuality.
