There is NOTHING. IT touches mind, and in utter simplicity, there's a sense of oneness as expanse. IT touches the intellect (the bifurcator), there's a sense of two/otherness. Throw in a heaping dose of memory, and spin up the bifurcator, and you get the 10,000 thingies with all kinds of causes and effects.

Simple. There are natural occurences within reality that make perceived or conceptualized objects bigger, smaller, added upon or subtracted from, or being in a certain positions relative to other such objects. Number is simply a concept that we use to quantify these facts

Words for counting.

@Carl-Richard

Purddy much, and purddy useful. 

But yeah, when questioning what makes up the mind-made coating with sprinkles on top of simple awareness, it's bound to come up.

Master's Understanding of Numbers

Numbers are our attempt to map language constructs to more precise things like the shape of the coffee table, or the time it takes for the seasons to come. Its like, a way to say things about many things, like a repititious thing—used for countably many things—and formal, as well as practical; like, you can more easily think of concepts when theyve been granted an *amount of some number...*

Numbers usually imply insight (the understanding of cause and effect within a particular context), observing and finding inherent relationships, similarities and differences;alas, theyre like, the introduction to such things.

I think of things in artistic terms alot, like, the study of roundness (smoothness) versus jaggedness (nd how numbers might exist as products of, and vice versa), and i feel as though we are too far in the area of trying to draw/count things in regards to a smooth and cylindrical nature. Rough, scratchy, jaggedness needsa come back now.

Alongside numbers are shapes, structure and change — and the relationships between them. Its almost like our natural language, but its just directed towards a different kindve thing. Numbers serve as your first collection of symbols, and your first means to think explicitly about the nature of things, and if/when represented by numbers, how they might combine, divide, subtract or multiply.

Unlike our natural language which we can use to form sentences, numbers are explicitly building and/or deriving... like, you dont write downa word, and then build words or phrases by canceling them out, or like erasing it to make it present-tense, because youve ostensibly written it out exactlyas you had thought of. Numbers are always evolving in that sense, as you need to add terms, cancel out terms, break them up, re-write them out, crossing the exponent out such that your left with two expressions, its like, thats numbers.

Then theres things like PI, and PI doesnt make sense (as it depends on perfect roundness and many other things, that which have very weak underpinnings), though its a standard, a constant, and numbers are one way of labeling such things (the potential w/ numbers is great, we just have to use them to our advantage)

*p.s. numbers have to come from your soul... whats that line in the Oppenheimer movie, 'Can you hear the music?'.. Its like that, 'Can you see the numbers?'

This is absolutely amazing. I find beauty in such things as numbers. thanks
