Guest question from p vs np who seems to be busy fragging his sem end exams one after the other :P

Equation 1. was given by 2. as the proof of validity for what may seem a concept too far fetched in his ‘pet-creation’. The equation was “inspired” by the one given by 3, which happens to be higher up on the scale of seriousness.
Solve 1 through 3 and also throw in the “concept”.
