Question 3: A non-linear predator-prey model. Red. But she recognized the structure—it was a variant of the 2022 population model. She’d practiced the Jacobian matrix and stability analysis. Her pen flew.
It was two systems linked. The mass changed, so the drag changed, so the acceleration changed. It was beautiful and cruel.
Then she expanded, simplified, and applied the underdamped condition. The solution involved Bessel functions of the first kind—a twist Finch had added to make it truly evil. But she had seen Bessel functions in the 2019 fluid dynamics paper, hidden in an appendix of the solutions she'd tracked down.
She had found them in the most unlikely of places: not the official library repository, which only held the last three years, but in the discarded “free bin” outside the Mathematics Department’s old staff room. A retiring professor had purged his office, and someone had tossed a whole archive. To anyone else, it was recycling. To Elena, it was the Rosetta Stone.
In her other hand, she clutched a thin, unassuming folder. On its cover, scrawled in fading blue ink, were the words: “WTW 238 – Past Papers (2015–2023).”
