Numbers

Numbers hold a central place in the society and culture of this civilization. Their way of understanding and interpreting numbers is deeply rooted in the belief that numbers have a profound impact on nearly every aspect of existence.

Number Symbolism

Numbers convey powerful symbolic meanings and messages. Numerical patterns are often viewed as signs and omens that reflect hidden truths about the natural order of the universe. As a result, numerical correspondences are interwoven into various aspects of life; architecture, art, music, craftsmanship, calendar systems, and religious rituals.

Important Numbers

Prime numbers are the most revered, with 3 and 7 being the holiest due to their connection to the Sacred Sequence. 21 is considered extremely important as it is the product of 3 and 7 and is regarded as a divine number.

The Sacred Sequence

The sacred sequence is 3-7-2, which is believed to have divine origins and embodies principles of balance, harmony, and unity. Observed throughout nature, the sequence appears in various manifestations, such as the number of planetary orbs in their orbits and the number of petals on flowers. To this civilization, the sequence is fundamentally connected with the cycle of life and the sacred pattern by which the universe is organized.

Counting and Numerals

Counting is primarily base-6 with additional symbols to represent powers of 3 and 7. However, a unique feature of their counting system is that zero is not a number but rather a placeholder. It does not have a name and is only used to adjust the value of other numerals. "One," meaning two, is expressed as '••' with a dot symbol while "two" (four in our numbering) is '••••'. "Three" (eight in our numbering) is '••••••••'.

Mathematics

Mathematics adheres closely to its symbolic and aesthetic roots in numerology and geometry while incorporating more complex concepts like algebra and trigonometry. Pi, denoted by the symbol ∏, is not viewed as a mere constant but rather as a mystical symbol of infinity and circularity. The proof of transcendental numbers is considered a high achievement.

Applications in Daily Life

Numerology shapes daily life and influences social dynamics; for instance, the number one, referring to two, is a symbol of unity and duality, while three represents harmony and balance. Numbers determine the structure of buildings, calendar systems, and even the number of words allowed in a sentence. The reverence for the sacred sequence has also led to the invention of a musical instrument using the numbers to generate sound frequencies that inspire creativity and tranquility.
