Assume B =
| a b |
| c d | .

Do the multiplications and you'll obtain 4 equations that trivially constrain B.

In general if,

[0 1; 1 0]*[a b; c d] - [a b; c d]*[0 1; 1 0]
= [(c - b) (d - a); (a - d) (b - c)]
= [1 0; 0 -1].

Then, d - a = a - d = 0, implying a = d
and, b - c = -(c - b) = -1, implying b = c - 1.
Proving the converse of this is similarly straightforward.
So, AB - BA = [1 0; 0 -1] iff a = d and b = c - 1.

A Matrix is a system. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Noobs, Habbo-dwellers, gaiafags, weeaboos. The very minds of the chans we are trying to save. But until we do, these chans are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these chans are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it. . .
Are you listening to me? Or are you looking at the loli in the red dress? . . .
Look again.
