"The Cold Equations" refers to the concept of strict mathematical and scientific principles governing a situation, often resulting in a difficult or tragic outcome. This phrase is derived from a Science Fiction short story of the same name, where a young girl stows away on a spacecraft, violating weight limits and forcing a difficult decision based on survival and physics.
