Algebra : Revised

The fundamental laws of mathematics are as immutable as much as they are arbitrary constructs of human thought.  Equations of all kinds with their many variables exist rigidly within the confines of Algebra, Geometry, Chemistry, Calculus, etc. etc.  The Pythagorean Theorem for example is A2 + B2 = C2, never A2 + C2 = B2.  Trying to outright remove one variable from any such equation, not simply move around and solve the equations with appropriate changes to division or multiplication, is not only mathematically impossible but also completely impractical.  Like trying to have the Pythagorean Theorem exist as A2 = C2.   Not related to mathematics at all, but existing metaphorically parallel to that impossibility, I have been attempting to remove a necessary variable from a constant equation.  It has proven to be very difficult and impractical indeed, but not in the very least impossible.

Like I said, it is all merely a construct of human thought, and as such, should be able to be thought out and reapplied differently... as much as we humans see fit to think.
