Noah's mind whirred like an overclocked machine, working through possible solutions.
'Okay. So her ability isn't just luck—it's probability manipulation. But it's unpredictable. Which means if we can find a way to stabilize it, maybe she can control the outcomes better.'
The first thing that came to mind was controlled environments. If they could isolate variables, maybe they could determine what factors triggered favorable or unfavorable results.
'But no… that wouldn't work. Probability is affected by everything—weather, human choices, butterfly effects from a random person sneezing in a crowd. There's no way to isolate all variables.'
He shifted tactics.
'Maybe tracking patterns? If we analyze when her ability activates, we can create a predictive model and determine the conditions that increase success.'
But how would they measure something as intangible as luck? It wasn't like power levels they could quantify.
