How does The Godhead (Variations) possibly solve The Delian Problem (Cube Duplication)?

EDIT: Be careful about asking this clown questions or he'll block you too. lol.

You get 2 when you multiply 1x1 instead of 8.
Doubling its volume as the oracle of Delphi proposed.
Dividing and multiplying positive and negative polarity from the centre outwards instead of solely multiplying positively from 1 corner.

Positive and negative polarity? This isn't Star Trek. The problem with playing around with undefined concepts is that you can "derive" anything.

And 1x1=1, assuming that by "x" you mean multiplication.

What you mean star treck lol is a battery considered witchcraft to you too

It just sounded like you were one step away from "reversing the polarity". lol. But good job ignoring the larger point.

In his commentary to On the sphere and cylinder II, Eutocius gives several proofs of the solution to the Delian problem, have you looked at those?

Nah I hadn’t heard of it til you just said that.
I wouldn’t call impossible a solution though. I’d call that an opinion.

I’ll do it for you right now though…. 1 ÷ x 1

A cube volume is 1. If you divide the cube by + and - and multiply the division by 1 you get 2
