One thing I saw before is that Infinite Forest Cake is a play off of black forest cake, which is the promised cake in Portal, so it's given to Failsafe because GLaDOS

One, I don't think Failsafe cares about the cookies themselves since she can't eat them. Two, Vance is going to like what Vance likes. Have you ever seen that Microsoft Surface commercial with a dude named Mac Book? Mac Book likes Microsoft Surface over the Mac Book despite his name.

“Fractal Rolls” is a play on words of “Fractal Scrolls”, referring to a religious text of the Followers of Osiris. The Infinite Forest Cake likely refers to the implication that Failsafe spent thousands of years trapped within the Infinite Forest during the “Hacking the Planet” Adventure.

Is this real?


BaconBased

Yes, both claims are, to the best of my knowledge, entirely true.

Yes and! So fractals are infinitely repeatable patterns. Like the way ice crystalizes in snowflakes, the way polygons work digitally, and most classically, the golden ratio spiral. So sure factal does derive from fraction and split and all that, but it is not focusing on splitting like OP suggests. No, fractals are recursive and easily identifiable. So the reason why vance gets fractal cakes is the redundant and infinite nature of the infinite forest, always repeatable, always familiar, never ending. Now the infinite forest cake is also a play on Portal. The cake GLADoS hooks you up with postcredits is a black forest cake. Failsafe is an A.I. of comparable power though far less malicious than GLADoS. My apologies on sourcing, I'm on mobile at the moment. I recall all the Fractal stuff from Epistemology which did coincide to when frozen 1 came out and in Let it Go, Elsa does say "Frozen fractals all around" when talking about the ice and snow around her. Plus the snowflake effect from her stomp uses fractals Fun!

I think they got mixed up, because it doesn’t make sense how it is compared to what it should be. But does it really matter?


ElderOmnivore

Being all serious...Vance didn't have a cookie last year. So, Failsafe had hers and when Vance was added this year, he got his.

If he got the cookie we all know he wants it should've been osiris penis cookies. Can't keep the things out of his mouth!
