Proposition Infinity the method used for "Proposition Infinity", as the team felt that most viewers would not have a strong opinion for or against robot and human intermarriage, thus lightening the potentially polarizing nature of the source material. "Proposition Infinity" was inspired by the political battle over California Proposition 8 in the United States and heavily satirizes the controversy over same-sex marriage. The title is a reference to California Proposition 8 with the "8" sideways, thus becoming the symbol of infinity (∞). The camp where Bender is being reprogrammed parodies conversion therapy camps for homosexuals. The episode also satirizes the people against
Plane at infinity does make it look "special" in comparison to the other planes of the space. If the affine 3-space is real, formula_2, then the addition of a real projective plane formula_3 at infinity produces the real projective 3-space formula_4. Since any two projective planes in a projective 3-space are equivalent, we can choose a homogeneous coordinate system so that any point on the plane at infinity is represented as ("X":"Y":"Z":0). Any point in the affine 3-space will then be represented as ("X":"Y":"Z":1). The points on the plane at infinity seem to have three degrees of freedom, but homogeneous coordinates are equivalent
