I have
sometimes thought that ‘Degree Absolute’ should be ‘Decree Absolute’, because
at the end the one will be separated from the other and in this Decree Absolute
does make more sense. However research has determined that by the use of the
phrase “Degree Absolute” Number 2 and indeed Number 6, for he himself had
knowledge of Degree Absolute, could both be purporting the “Nth Degree” meaning
to take a person or situation to the very limits of endurance, the furthest extreme
that anything can be taken, as with Number’s 6 and 2 in the Embryo Room, which
would explain “Degree Absolute.”
Definitions
The Nth Degree is a term used when a
problem is explored in extreme depth, using the algebraic term N
to express an unknown number of
factors.
The Nth Degree – Last or greatest in an
indefinitely large series – to the Nth Degree.
Relating to the unspecified ordinal
number: ten to the Nth power.
Mind you I find that you can
follow instructions to the Nth degree and still get it wrong!
Be seeing you
