[Survival value] < 0

Hold that thought.

[I apologize to anyone who has actually already read this entry. In my very typically vague fashion, I've tried to work out my own bullshit without actually directly establishing who/what said bullshit is. Then, some time later - in this case, three hours - I come to my freaking senses and completely rewrite the entire entry. Only this time, I haven't gotten that far yet. I will. In just a moment.]

So, hold that thought.

I'll say this much, the title should now read:
[Survival value] ≥ 0

That's a drastic improvement for those less savvy in the mathematics department.
