Ok, just like everyone else in this forum, I loved those trailers and I am really hyped about the series. And as most of you, I have seen the trailers countless times... I consider White's trailer to be favorite, therefore I have been paying more analysis to it.

Lets get on topic, I know it must sound confusing(the title of this discussion), but, just after seeing the White trailer, The quote at the beginning blew my mind. Why? Because it refers to a thought of my own(and many others of you, I hope).

Emotions(sorrow, in this case), cannot be measured, everyone perceives love, hatred, happiness, sadness, etc. in different ways. It is not something new or fresh, it is a thought that has been there for a while. This is not what blew my mind, what did it, was the fact that the used math to(in a very subtle manner) express this idea.

the quote states:

"Everyone is entitled to their own sorrow, for the heart has no metrics or form of measure. And all of it... irreplaceable."

Anyone related to mathematics(Mathematical analysis and Measure Theory) would see this reference, as Measure is the very core of Measure Theory, and Metrics are very important in Mathematical Analysis, and both are extremely related.

Defining a metric and a measure, is something very simple in certain cases, but it is EXTREMELY(and I cannot stress this enough) difficult in some other cases(again, another hint that my assumptions are correct). Now, Measure Theory is used as way for giving a sense of magnitude to sets(sets in the context of Set Theory), and metric as a way to give a magnitude in a space, and both are sustained by set theory, which sustains algebra, and basically any form of math. Now, particularly, Measure Theory and Mathematical Analysis take huge importance in animation software and serve as a great part of their  theoretical study(you see! it is clearly not a coincidence!).

I cannot help myself but to think that this reference is not a coincidence, but a well thought and on purpose action. Another fact that I would like to point out is that, in the pod cast, Monty talked about math, and how he uses math to create animations, and how it is not just math, but a way to express ideas.

This could be a hint that Weiss is the NERD in the team(which is empowered by the fact that she is a mage of sorts), as the quote(or at least I felt it that way) is from Weiss, and in order to make such a huge reference to that kind of advanced mathematics, you would need to know and understand such topics, which could lead us to imply that she knows an high level science(or math...).

So, what do you think? Leave some comments and lets discuss it.
