The Lost Pages of Prime
This is a TV series project for young adults.
​
The aim is to let people discover the nature of Math by living great adventures in a fantastic world.
This is a story of friendship, power and knowledge.
A Hero's Journey in a parallel world, where Math is a lazy god, called Prime, that shapes like a book. Prime gives accidentally its creative powers to a young, clumsy boy, making him the Protector and Guardian of the Reality.
Al is 16 years old, no family, no past. He lost his memories the same moment he became the new Guardian.
After quiet centuries, something happens: everywhere strange anomalies appear, corrupting and dostroing part of the world reality.
Al, opening the book, finds out that some pages have been ripped off. Anomalies depend on those gaps of knowledge into Prime.
Duty of Al is to restore the lost Math in Prime. How? he knows nothing about math!
Luckly for the world, his maybe-best-for-sure-only friend Pai is a brilliant and brave dark crow, with a mysterious past and a weird family. She will stand by him throughout his journey and together they will discover the truth about Prime and world destiny.

Cosmogony
It is not clear what the origin of Mathematica is. The most widespread theory is that in the beginning there was only Prime, the book of everything.
Prime often su􀀶ered from insomnia and had tried everything to sleep, but nothing seemed to work.
One day, he heard of an infallible remedy: counting sheep. Although somewhat perplexed, he decided to try it.
There was only one problem: no one had invented numbers yet, much less sheep. Prime: "So, what's the problem? I am the Point and the line, I am unity, time and space. What I think or say exists." And so, as I counted, "1," a sheep was born. Prime counted and with each number new sheep were born, and his pages were filled with signs:
Π, I, II, X, M... No one knows how long he counted.
Certainly, at some point he got tired of the sheep and counted 1/3 and then 7.6 and then √2, and the cosmos was filled with cats, dogs and then donkeys, horses, hens, zebras, giraô€€¶es, robins and elephants and then trees, ountains, rivers and seas... The more Prime counted, the more things he created and the sleepier he got.
But just as he was about to fall asleep, while looking at what he had created, he was sad to have to stop right then. Mathematica was there in front of him, so beautiful.
So he thought for a moment and then he counted 3.1 and with him was the first Great Architect.
“From now on the task of creation is up to you and those who will come after you. They will have to be intelligent and creative enough to write the right digit to the number you were born from, and only thisway can the gift of creation be handed down and my pages written.” Then he finally fell asleep.
