Have you ever really looked at the forms of the symbols of what has truly become
the worlds' first global language? Nobody ever consciously designed them to reflect
their roles within the greater system as a whole. Nobody ever consciously thought that
the symbol for the two should be the same as the five (but juxtaposed). And that four
should be the same symbol as the seven; the six the same as the nine; or that the three
should be, for some reason, found hidden in the eight. Yet, they certainly are.

Now the essence of these number forms as they are commonly written is obviously
mirror-type imaging of one another. So the mystery is only compounded when we
discover the schematic of order and symmetry based solely on the forms of the symbols.

Obviously we could design a system of ten characters which could produce an
orderly and symmetric schematic based purely on the forms of its' symbols if that was
our intent. And more importantly, not without our most steadfast purpose would the
order amongst the forms of those symbols also be a reflection of the order and inherent
structuring within the system of base-ten itself, such as occurs naturally in the set of
forms adopted the world over.

It wouldn't take long after observing the schematic of order and symmetry for
one to see that the two actually is related to the five. The base of the system is ten with
the one and zero co-equal rulers. They preside over four pairs of identically
symbolized quantities. But only the two and five can divide the base evenly. Ten
divided by two is five; and ten divided by five is two. The influence of this quality is
reflected in the symbols since a horizontal line dividing the ten gives birth to the
forms of the two and the five. But the structuring uniting these forms goes much
deeper.

The table below reveals the number
sequences unique to each quantity's
successive powers. Any number to the
zeroth power is one, so the powers of two
begin 1,2,4,8… 16 is expressed as 7 (1+6
=7), 32 becomes a 5 (3+2=5), 64 a 1 (6
+4=10 and 1+0=1). Rendered in this
fashion this sequence will continue
forever. Those describing the powers of
the other numbers are derived in the
same manner. Now look at the powers
of two in the top row of the table. They're
simply the powers of five backwards
(second row down)! The powers of four,
1471471, are the powers of seven
backwards. The affinity between six
and nine is also obvious. Maybe
someday the cosmos will reveal to us the
reason for the break in the system's
perfection with the powers of the three
and eight. But this too has its parallel
in nature in the electron populations in
the outer shells of the heavier elements.

So the "mystery" is this: the forms of
the number symbols seem to be designed
in such a manner as to indicate a
preconceived intention to create symbols
bearing the marks of the logic uniting the
greater overall system. But it was not.
Historically, these symbols evolved
chaotically, haphazardly, and
independently. Could it be that nature
has taken the initiative, gifting a sign for
all to see that the force of the spirit is at
work?
