Cuil theory is a theoretical form of measurement. The idea of its foundation is an almost satirical look at how terrible search engines are at creating relationships between tangential items. In this theoretical form of measurement, there are 7 different cuils that are offered and each involves asking for a hamburger.
Each Cuil is one level of abstraction that is away from the actual reality of the situation.
This information comes from Reddit’s thumbnails and discussion of Cuil theory.
Cuil #1:
You ask for a hamburger. You receive a racoon.
Cuil #2:
You ask for a hamburger. The only problem is that the person you’ve asked for a hamburger doesn’t actually exists. Instead, you look again at where the person you thought you asked for a hamburger was standing and find that a picture of a hamburger happens to be there.
Cuil #3:
You ask for a hamburger, but don’t receive one. You grow tired, so you decide to call it a night and go to bed. It’s a good night of rest. When you wake up in the morning, you realize that you’ve actually become a hamburger in your sleep. You take a look in the mirror and cannot help but scream. Special sauce flies out from between your bun lips.
You notice that the world has taken on a very sepia-like tone, probably because your eyes have become part of the sesame seed bun.
Cuil #4:
You ask for a hamburger. Except you don’t understand that you’ve asked for a hamburger because you’ve suddenly started speaking in fluent German. In the distance, you see a mime crying softly as it cradles a calf. Now your grandfather appears, doesn’t matter if he has died, and stares at you because you’ve asked for a hamburger instead of working hard for one. The calf the mime is holding begins to break apart into cooked hamburger patties.
The person you’ve asked for a hamburger now has pickles for eyes. A song escapes your lips, telling the story of the creation of the universe. You wonder where the ketchup might appear, then realize that the mime is actually crying condiments.

Cuil theory in relation to hamburgers is a way to consider the searching relationships between objects. These different cuils show how items may seem surreal and independent of each other, but may also have unknown relationships. It may be a relationship that seems strange to some, but could make complete sense to someone else.
In other words, the Cuil theory hamburger fits one certain standard. It is up to you to determine if that standard meets your own standards.
