Do you believe numbers have "magical" properties?
Like 5 for example. It was very important for Pythagoras, and the Chinese. Also the complete 5 graph is the well known pentagram, it was very important throughout ancient human civilizations(and later on associated with Satanism). And it also looks like a human, with its feet and its hands and its head. Also we humans have 5 fingers. Is 5 the human number?
Some other numbers like 7, which are considered lucky and by many divine. (if you look at k7 graph it looks like an angel, because its like a human but it also has wings).
Or 6, which is strongly connected to the material plane(so people sometimes associate it with Satanism) and the k6 graph is also the basis of Davids Star (maybe this is why Jews have a strong affinity to money)...
Is there more to numbers or I am just being schizo?

>posts an incommensurable shape then claims it proves numbers are magical.

The pentagram is proof of how useless math is when comprehending the universe.

Four is the only number with the same number of letters as the value it represents
So, if you pick any number, count its number of letters and repeat, you'll eventually reach 4
Example
>Thousand
>Eight letters
>Eight
>Five letters
>Five
>Four letters
and four just repeats

another one
>Twenty nine
>Ten letters
>Ten
>Three letters
>Three
>Five letters
>Five
>Four letters
and so on

Symbols numbers, shapes, pictures....
Let us begin with cymetry, mirroring, balance. The numbers and symbols and everything else is cymetrical and mirroring! You have to ether combine and double it or subtract and reduce it to always get the same magical result, cymetry, mirroring and ultimately a holograph!

This is dependent on the language you speak. In Spanish it would be 5 (cinco).

the very structure of number systems is completely arbitrary, but the patterns we can deduce from them do have significance that can be seen as ''magical''.
