Hype for the Future 94D: Interesting Mathematical Quirks of 2026

Introduction

While the year 2026 is an even-numbered year, dividing the number of the year in two (2) yields an odd number and, more specifically, an odd prime, namely the number 1013. However, the previous year, 2025, was a perfect square with only two (2) distinct prime factors while the next year, 2027, will be a prime number by itself.

Prime Factorization

Though this year is an even-numbered year, 2026 is yielded by the numbers 2 and 1013, in the proper prime factorization. Last year, 2025, was a perfect square based on the number 45, which itself contains a perfect square within the prime factorization of the number. The number 45 is yielded by the numbers nine (9) (three squared), and five (5). As previously noted, next year, 2027, will be a prime-numbered year, thus making the year entirely indivisible.

Calendar

Since the year 2026 is not divisible by any of the numbers four (4), one hundred (100), or four hundred (400), the calendar is an identifiable common year calendar, thus spanning three-hundred-sixty-five (365) days. Like the years 2015 or 2037, the year 2026 is notable for beginning on a Thursday and ending on a Thursday exactly fifty-two weeks later.

Please keep in mind that the dates of holidays calculated astronomically, rather than mathematically, i.e. Easter, may not align perfectly with calendars of years with similar days of the week.

Weekday Reference

The months of the current year, 2026, begin on the following weekdays:

1. January: Thursday
2. February: Sunday
3. March: Sunday
4. April: Wednesday
5. May: Friday
6. June: Monday
7. July: Wednesday
8. August: Saturday
9. September: Tuesday
10. October: Thursday
11. November: Sunday
12. December: Tuesday

Since 2026 is a common year, the month of January must begin on the same day of the week as October, and the month of February must begin on the same day of the week as March and November. As always, April and July must begin on the same weekday, and September and December must as well.

Also, as a common year, the months of May, June, and August begin on distinct days of the week, clearly separate from the days of the week associated with any other month of the year. Interestingly, May uniquely never begins nor ends on the same day of the week as any other month of the year, ever.

Hype for the Future 91/284: Status on New Year’s Goals

Introduction

At the end of the year 2025, novaTopFlex has identified a number of goals to validate the successful nature of the Three Identities. The first goals are about subscriber count on YouTube—500 followed by 1,000 subscribers to be exact. While novaTopFlex started the year in Eastern Standard Time at 186 subscribers, the most up-to-date subscriber count is as high as 275 as of 8:00 AM EST on Friday, January 30, 2026.

Additional Goals

While novaTopFlex will not be available nor in the same environment, places, or even people throughout the entirety of the year 2026, the beginning of the year is intended to reference both past memories and social expansion through a number of distinctive activities. One of the most significant social goals for the beginning of the current new year is researching places—locally, regionally, and nationally—that would assist with the social pool of novaTopFlex.

Monetization

While novaTopFlex did not originally have Patreon as a New Year’s resolution, new international posts are now available for sale on the Patreon service for loyal viewers ($7/month) or for $5/post. The following posts will always remain free of charge in text form (and the following videos will remain free of charge on YouTube, including Shorts, prior to eligibility for the YouTube Partner Program):

• Content about Locations and Events within the United States
• Content about Free (Libre) and Open Source Software

Hype for the Future 65E → The New Goals for 2026

Preamble

No institution, private or public, should deserve to predetermine the entirety of the Identity of novaTopFlex. In fact, “novaTopFlex” shall be treated as the public community name, without any access to the private institutions and residences of the holder(s) of the community in any way. Rather than identifying with any particular location within the United States, novaTopFlex shall simply identify as a national identity for the general public.

Introduction

novaTopFlex is on the cusp of continuing on in life into the next steps, though unfortunately also being forced into a normative pipeline. What has been referred to by people as “safety” is not actual safety, but rather, a form of normativity that has been utilized on the Three Identities against the (un)conscious will of novaTopFlex.

Preferences for the New Year

The Identities of novaTopFlex, geoTopFlex, and futoTopFlex are concurrent identities representative of the three (3) distinctive interests in the combined system. Overall, in an effort to capture the greatest interest in meeting new people across the nation, the Three Identities shall avoid identifying with educational, business, or otherwise official institutions, while firmly identifying with unofficial institutions and events for the general public first.

Hype for the Future 61K: 2026 Preview

Overview

For 2026, most of the interests for the summer months should ideally be researched in the winter months, thus research for events in July should ideally be performed in the month of January for summer planning. The summers are typically more open than the other seasons, though ironically, the summers are also often when people can be most willing to work, because of winter depression and related symptoms as well as allergy seasons in the spring and even in the autumn. Therefore, most of the research for the WordPress travel planning shall be performed in the summer, and discretionary money in the future will become increasingly necessary to commit to the forthcoming life goals of novaTopFlex.

New Plans for the YouTube Channels

novaTopFlex shall remain the flagship channel for the YouTube system; however, more planning and input shall also be recognized for each and every video to be uploaded. On some of the busiest days when videos can only be recorded in silent mode or for other reasons, novaTopFlex shall respect time zones by uploading no more than three (3) videos every three (3) hours. The regularly scheduled video uploads shall occur all seven days of the week at 9:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 3:00 PM, and 6:00 PM, all correct for the Eastern Time Zone.

novaTopFlex shall increase the intensity of both research and study for the YouTube channel and related topics, with additional command line tools as well as personal programming to be uploaded to GitHub, GitLab, and numerous other services. If videos must be uploaded without audio, novaTopFlex shall provide a disclaimer to the audience that the video is silent or intended to be played in a “bring-your-own-sound” manner.

Hype for the Future 61J: New Year, New Topics

Time Zone Disclaimer

When identifying posts by date and time, the unfortunate reality is that such identification is often impossible at a level more specific than the day, but for general purposes, novaTopFlex will be publishing in the Eastern Time Zone unless otherwise specified.

New Topics

For 2026, novaTopFlex will continue to focus on technology and geography-based topics, though with a special extension into the mathematics community as well as related career and technical topics throughout such as potentially financial management and financial services. By branching out into these additional topics of interest, novaTopFlex can become a more urban figure in societal terms, with a greater and livelier sense of cultural support throughout.

Regardless of physical location, novaTopFlex is committed to continuing the journey of, at a minimum, one (1) post per day through August 11. The “Hype for the Future” series shall continue into 2026, and August 11 shall be recorded as a special message for societal expectations and modernized beliefs about that time of year, otherwise known as “Hype for the Future 284/284.”

Hype for the Future 61I: The Unfortunate Reality of the American Dystopia

Overview

Unfortunately, POTUS Donald J. Trump has threatened to withhold funding in numerous occasions of 2025 from countries with left-wing governments as ideologically opposed to the dominance of the United States of America, which is currently run on the basis of cultural hegemony. Even when Canada was deciding their new Prime Minister, Trump has ranted about Canada being the “fifty-first state,” a phrase that has offended so many Canadians throughout. And even if Canada were annexed by the United States, Trump’s agenda would have been threatened and his ego and power would have continued to be attempted as such.

Tariffs

The realities of capitalism and the illusion of American dominance alike have been identified by way of tariffs to seemingly every random nation, including to truly friendly nations to the U.S. including Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, just to name a few. China was a significantly more brutal case, as the nation was already identified as an enemy of the U.S. for historical reasons from especially the Soviet era and the now-debunked belief that communism makes dictatorships.

Hype for the Future 61/284 → New Year’s Eve

The plan for New Year’s Eve tonight is for novaTopFlex to not just watch the Ball Drop event virtually, but also to continue regular programming into the New Year, 2026. In the month of January, viewers to the YouTube channel should expect new in-house contents and source code availability alike, while novaTopFlex continues to support the regular programming and educational material appropriate to the Three Identities.
