But the sci-fi aspect of Heaven in AMS specifically doesn't have any 
connection to the science and technology of Earth. By which I mean that it's 
never even hinted at that someone on Earth could ever affect the workings of 
Heavenly technology/magic/science. I think it's more that Fujishima-sensei is 
using it as a convenient model. (And because we _can_ use it as a model, that 
technically means that math _does_ hold between the two. Hmm.)
