A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin co-authored a physics paper in the American Journal of Physics .

The paper derives a formula to describe the dynamics of a fictional virus that is the centerpiece of the Wild Cards series of books.

" Card turns that land sufficiently close to one axis will subjectively present as Aces, while otherwise they will present as Jokers or Joker-Aces " The derived formula is one that takes into account the many different ways a given system can evolve (aka a Langrangian formulation).
