Quick House question, for those who watched this last one...

Does anyone remember what equations House was scribling, in the scene where he's trying to diagnose the universe on a glass wall? I recall glimpsing Q's, S's and V's, so I'm thinking they're regarding thermodynamics. This would please me.

Yes, yes. I'm sure there were other interesting mysteries to be found in the episode. But we all have to fixate on *something*.

Keeping in mind that it's been years since I've even seen half these symbols, much less had to use them, I think he's doing a proof. K is apparently a superset of Ta + Va + Ya, and P intersects S.

What I really think is happening, given that he states it doesn't make sense after he's finished writing, is he's trying to do the differential in his hallucination and realizing that, because what he's written doesn't make sense (it's a mathematical proof instead of a listing of actual symptoms), he must be hallucinating.

That was pretty much they way I took it too. Who cares if P intersects Q if P and Q don't contain anything or represent anything.
