    It all equals zero. There is no purpose or meaning. Optimistic take: because that’s not what math does. Pessimistic take: because there is none.

      Optimistic take: because they just rearranged it to equal 0 by subtracting something from both sides as is often done in “these quantities are conserved” types of equations in physics!

      So we still don’t know the true purpose…
