Okay, so I don't know what to say at the header but BASICALLY I've figured something out about Baldi. Something unsettling. Though from the surface, not as unsettling as anything Viktor did.
I've figured out recently (after watching a playthrough of BBBB (Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash)) that Professor Baldimore is a groundbreaking quantum physicist, because he knows what his universe is made of and can screw with it. (Didn't know where I'd say this, but in Baldi's universe, the idea that the universe is a simulation is canon.) Not just in a meta sense, but Baldi actually in general knows deep quantum physics. Why do you think everyone in the school is able to teleport around? Well, I suppose we kinda know now, everyone has a version of the Teleportation Teleporter. But not just that: why do you think the school is able to transform? (So far, it's only created and destroyed walls between the exits and the secret rooms at the top of the caféteria.) It's because there is some kind of control centre somewhere that allows matter to exist, decompose or be reformed. The kind of thing you'd find in quantum mechanics...OKAY, that was redundant/overdone, you get the point. But actually, I've come across a subject that highly references quantum physics before in Baldi's math questions. You know those infamous questions in the You Can Think Pad™ where the numbers are overlapping and everything? Well, it would actually make a lot of sense. The basic structure of the sum is A+(B×C), right? That's true of all renders of the sum. It doesn't make sense at first but think about this. You know how, in quantum physics, you can keep a bunch of particles at multiple points in space at a single time? (Until you put a photon on one, and then it's only there where it was "seen" and disappears from the other location.) Well, behold! It now applies to mathematics. Baldi's introduced some very interesting new numbers that are like that: they have multiple values at once. Except without all the complication of photons. It's just that they seem to be just glitched and make no sense, because it's not only a rare topic, but it's been demonstrated in a very...overstandable manner. I mean, it's simply hard-to-read, though correct. So the better way to display numbers like that is with ampersands, like 2742&4819. These are superpositious numbers. Let me just give you an example of a sum with superpositious numbers:
5&3 + 2&9 = 7&14&5&12
Obviously if you do sums with multiple superpositious numbers, you'll get an answer with even more values. At first I thought it was just similar, but I guess now it directly relates to quantum physics and mechanics. mystman12 said he wouldn't alienate people who don't know information so he'd have a lot of logic-based subjects, but HA! Baldi is actually alienating his students as seen here. It's funny, because he also alienated his godfather, mystman12, and someone that's not him figured out Baldi's secret. (Actually, I should tell mystman12 this. If he goes on without knowing the logic behind Baldi's new mathematics, it might really be something meaningless.) Anyway, yeah. Baldi must deep down think that "basics" are the key steps to understanding and controlling the universe before you. Like, LOL.
Anyway. The thing is, when Viktor was creating his Brain-Upgratonator v0.49, trying to take inspiration from the You Can Think Pad™, he didn't actually understand what the sums were. He just thought it was all an excuse to become angry and start pursuing his students. So he made actually nonsensical sums: sums that never finish loading and never display properly, hence having to be rendered a different way every frame. Why do you think Albert can't answer them? He also made it fair upon you in Lil Puss mode and in the eleventh notebook, so he must really know how nonsensical it all is.
Anyway, Baldi is one of the best fictional quantum physicists.
A moral/point is: No matter how great Viktor is - no matter how satanic, inhuman and evil he is...just DON'T underestimate Baldi. That's what y'all have been doing in your fanarts, but Baldi is much more powerful than that. Baldi is close to completely in control of reality and filename2 is just an example of his victims - by that I don't mean people he's traumatised like Playtime, but people who know what he's capable of and have tried to mess with him. Corruption is the very consequence of attempting to defy Baldi. Sure, he may not be the type to unleash everybody's organs and turn the world inside out so that Hell and people's organs are surfaced, but he can control reality, and filename2 is the closest anyone's ever got to thwarting Baldi. Angell might be able to but of course she never listened when filename2 told her how to get rid of Baldi. After all, she's the type to save everyone, to bring people to the light. That's why people don't delete BBIEAL.
(wow actually...Albert is VERY like filename2. Both of them have known the truth, but have been broken.)
The games might be very dark, but in the end, everything is in the light, right?
