What is history and what is fiction?
Interpretive reconstructionA documented text or tradition is interpreted through openly fictional scenes.
Historical anchor
Babylonian mathematics long predated Pythagoras, including sophisticated work with right-triangle relationships. Later traditions connect Pythagoras with Babylonian and Magian learning, but direct lines of transmission are debated.
Fiction boundary
The specific tablet, proof lesson, and dialogue are fictional.
