- Breakfast is conceptualized as a vector space with pancakes, crepes, and scrambled eggs on a simplex defined by milk, eggs, and flour ratios.
- The author explores the idea of 'dark breakfasts'—unexplored or unobserved breakfast combinations that theoretically exist.
- Known breakfasts are categorized into three regions: The Pancake Local Group, The Baked Good Quadrant, and The Egg Singularity and Custard Accretion Disk.
- A 'Dark Breakfast Abyss' is identified, a gap in the breakfast manifold that remains largely unexplored.
- The International House of Pancakes (IHOP) is mentioned as having potentially created a dish that touches upon the Dark Breakfast Abyss by incorporating pancake batter into omelettes.
- A speculative 'Dark Breakfast' recipe is provided, consisting of milk, eggs, and flour, with unknown instructions.
- The discussion extends to preparation methods and the inclusion of other dishes like strata casserole, kugels, and gluten-free versions to fill the abyss.
- The author references H.P. Lovecraft to underscore the existential dread of uncovering unknown realities through such culinary exploration.
- The conversation invites further research and exploration into the manifold of breakfast, suggesting additional dimensions like preparation methods.
