Numbers.
I have always found numbers fascinating but within them some people believe is the mystery of creation and others search for the mathematical formula to bring about untold wealth. It is true the figure zero with its ability to be nothing and preceded by at least any other number can transform into a representation of wealth but this may not as many people think, translate into happiness.
Zero interests me immensely and it can alternatively be used with a humble one to be the basis of computer language, that commonly driven motor of modern business. One, of course is a term to identify myself but it also stands for the singularity of pre-creation.
The number two could represent a couple such as Ant and Dec or the dynamic duo Robin and Batman. Some couples are blessed such as Adam and Eve to be joined into a triple group.
A triangle springs to mind when three is mentioned and this along with a memory of my first three wheeler fills my thoughts, a vehicle which was no trouble until after a heavy fall of snow rendered it problematic in the extreme. The two outer parallel wheels followed pre formed tracks but the third wheel could not decide which side of the piled snow to be on and the ensuing ride of my life was most disconcerting.
Four walls are a representation of being solid and in the animal kingdom is a favourite number of limbs for walking. If four is useful in transporting oneself then why not five because when it comes to climbing like monkeys or when it comes to swimming, a tail is not a bad idea. A tail can be the fifth asset in an animal's anatomy and not to forget man's best friend, dogs who display their feelings with furious wagging of movement. Five as represented by five points of a star remind me of optimum health, that is the right food, water, physical exercise, mental exercise and the base is of course a peaceful, restful sleep.
Six is the smallest, perfect number. The sum of its parts equal its whole. The six Nation Rugby competition carriers the banner for six. A business improvement organisation has incorporated six into its name and philosophy.
The Magnificent Seven springs to mind depicted as cowboys or Samurai warriors battling against evil and overwhelming odds. The seven deadly sins may not be forgotten by some when talking about this numerical example. No education is complete without knowledge about the seven wonders of the world, although they are not in the original condition or are even the same seven wonders of the world as once historically recorded.
Eight shares a unique ability with zero to form an endless path. For some strange reason I see the notable symbol of the caduceus that is two entwined snakes about a winged staff. Eight is enduring for some, enticing for others and could there be a better shape for a racing circuit?
Nine held a secret for me. When multiplying by single numbers the product of individual digits always when added together comes back to nine. For example seven times nine is sixty three. Six and three added together come back to nine. When multiplying nine reduce the multiplier by one and as before seven reduced by one is six, take this away from nine gives three which is the right hand number of the appropriate answer.
Ten apart from being on the front door of the United Kingdom's parliamentary Prime Ministerial residence, is the base unit of mathematical equation principal. Decimals are represented by ten and then there is a percentage that uses one hundred as its base. Fractions can use any number as its base.
The Fibonacci series of numbers appear to be the code of nature as they can be found in the formation of sun flowers and many other petal formations. The spiral drawn from a series of boxes is a reflection of the shape of many shelled creatures. This is the Fibonacci numbers. Each number is added to its predecessor.
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, this continues indefinitely.
Numbers are more than numeracy, more than a mathematical base for me. Numbers represent historical importance, memory links, they introduce ideas for how systems can be run, what can be done and how equations can equate to almost every area of life.
