What Is The "Universe Number"?

The Universe Number is calculated by utilizing several known constants, which are combined to generate a "hash" value. This value is expected to consistently equal 22203, a number that was arbitrarily selected before the development process began. If the result differs from 22203 on your Chattergeist, it indicates that a fundamental change has occurred in one or more of the underlying scientific constants.

P_1 = 2147483647 (Mersenne prime, 2^31-1) P_2 = 2147483629 (Large prime) h = 662607015 (Planck Constant, h ≈ 6.62607015 × 10^-34 J·s) c = 299792458 (Light Speed, c ≈ 299792458 m/s) G = 667430 (Gravitational Constant, G ≈ 6.67430 × 10^-11 m^3·kg^-1·s^-2)

After assigning the relevant variables, we introduce two arbitrary reference integers and a scaling factor. This step ensures that the resulting calculation produces the value 22203.

A_1 = 4583 (Arbitrary Reference 1) A_2 = 31986 (Arbitrary Reference 2) SCALE = 100000

The value of 22203 is then derived using the following algorithm.

n = (P_1 ^ h) x (c ^ P_2) x = ((n x g) % SCALE) - A_1 universe = (x + A_2) % SCALE

Therefore, if the calculated value (displayed at the bottom of the Options screen on the Chattergeist device) does not equal 22203, it suggests a significant modification has occurred within the algorithm, which is intended to remain constant.

This Universe Number is also etched into the inside of every Chattergeist Wrist Pack.
