Experience

$$Exp = \int_{0}^{+\text{now}} \text{inc} \, dt$$

Experience is... a hard formula!

Dumb advisory

Understanding this formula requires some background in mathematics...

Cantor corollary

By taking time to infinity, we obtain Wisdom (an asymptotic limit that can never truly be reached):

$$Wis = \int_{0}^{+\infty} \text{inc} \, dt$$

Parental advisory

The following explanation may contain strong language, mild existential dread, or the unexpected realization of harsh truths.
Supervision by a mathematician is strongly recommended.

Definition

Experience is the finite integral over time —ranging from 0 (zero) to +now— of all unexpected life INCidents (better known as hard knocks)!

The original Italian formula is less polite...
