The disciplinary descent into madness, visualized. Engineers create meticulous blueprints with the illusion that anyone will understand them. Physicists simplify reality into neat little quark diagrams while muttering "trust me, the actual math would melt your brain." And then there's mathematicians—existing in a realm where abstract shapes represent concepts so divorced from reality that even they've forgotten what they're modeling. The progression perfectly tracks the increasing distance between practical application and pure theory. Next level would just be a philosopher pointing at empty space saying "this represents everything and nothing simultaneously."
