Hitler perished after committing suicide because he was disappointed by the results at the eastern front.

The mods really don't know much. There's a certain uncertainty they're missing in assuming all unknowns are knowable. Thus, unknown unknowns confound them and they behave inappropriately at times. This is a typical human reaction when faced with ambiguity.

no he committed suicide because his bunker was literally being bombed 24 hours a day. if the cyanide didn't kill him, the allied bullet in his brain would've.

He lost too many of his forces at the eastern front. So he was in such and such compromised position.

I don't study the symbology that would allow me to express this in a written form.

The plane of a magnetic source is actually the midsection of a polarized wave. The handedness of the polarity and the magnet designated charge are directly correlated. The repelling effect between differently polarized magnets is due to densities at the other, remote, end of the magnet's entangled quarks.

Present him with the deeper questions in life, which he will be forced to ponder, and, being unable to find the solution, will be slowly driven further into madness.
Sample questions for your carpet puking cat:
Does math create greater intellect or merely the greater ability to answer math questions?
Could primate evolution be accelerated by the strategic placement of thousands of mirrors in their habitat?
Do squirrels actually have an expectation that they will dig up a buried acorn, or are they burying acorns out of reflex?

Good I need a smart guy to answer this question.

So I'm trying to backward engineer a mathematical formula based on a set of data points. The problem is that it's a multi variable equation with no real way to set up a set of equations or matrices to solve it. It has to be exponential based, as there are diminishing returns, but I have no clue on how to figure out besides throwing it on Wolfram and praying the quadratic best fit is good enough.

Well you have to first place the mathematical formula and the sort of real world result you are trying to attain into the context of reality. Is it really the case that there are diminishing returns based on X? Or is that just what backtesting seems to indicate? Is history the rule in this case?

Is the real action you are aiming for based on the output of this predictive formula going to be reliable or just a figment of abstraction and the weaknesses of symbology?

Great questions. I only answer under the assumption that you aim for a benevolent dictatorship. Here are the steps you must take:
1. Use capitalism to concentrate all of the wealth into a few people's hands
2. Install a solar powered base in the Arctic
3. Move into the arctic base
4. Nuke everything from orbit
5. Raise all of the remnant humans to have good moral character.

Your blood runs colder than your psychology is trained to find comfortable. Thus, you remain mostly under the covers.
