ON THE SHORES OF A MUDDY RIVER

Formulas divined by re-watching all of Battlestar Galactica for the fifth time

x = 1/y, where x = Military Success (in terms of Propensity) and y = Humanitarian Ethics (in terms of Consideration)

   for Helena Cain x > y,
   for Laura Roslin x < y,
   for Bill Adama x ≤ y

We can also add a divisor of z (equal to Ego in terms of Survival Instinct or Missing Legs), in which case we can derive as follows:

if x/z = 1/y, and t = time, then

   for Felix Gaeta t = 100/ [4 * ( 1 / [ -1*log(y or x) ] ) ]
   where, plotted on a 2D Cartesian graph, t is the horizontal axis and y or x is the vertical axis

Whilst meanwhile, Gaius Baltar gets his own equation, thusly:

   b = testicular fortitude (in Whimpers/Sec.)
   t = time
   e = ego (a constant larger than all other variables added together)
   y = Humanitarian Ethics
   g = number of guns pointed at Baltar’s head

   y = | ( [ sin(t) / 2b ] * e ) / 100g |
   where, plotted on the 3D Cartesian graph, y is the vertical axis, while t and b are the horizontal axes.
