A bit more on the symbolism of numbers

I have a very few things to add to my previous statements (dating back more than twelve years):
  • 1 is the number of existence,
  • 2 is the number of logic,
  • 3 is the number of the ideal,
  • 4 is the number of nature,
  • 5 is the number of man,
  • 6 is the number of (complete) order and
  • 12 is the number of reason.
I shall not repeat the explanations given for this, but add one more number and do some calculations.
  • 8 is the number of culture.
If you look at a tiling of the plane with octagons, you'll find that they box in squares, just like culture boxes in nature.

And now to the calculations.
2 x 3 = 6
2 x 4 = 8
3 x 4 = 12
That is to say,
  • the ideal and the non-ideal make up order,
  • the natural and the unnatural make up culture and
  • the ideal in every part of nature makes up reason (the world spirit, the divine mind, which we share to some extent*).
* that might be seen as a sweeping statement, but otherwise neither our inspiration nor our prayers would work.
