daedalus' string theory

"It is indeed very little that we need. But lacking that, the adventure into the labyrinth is without hope. That little bit is at hand." (emphasis mine)

- From "Hero With A Thousand Faces"

a different octave, based on the kabbalah

8 is the number of 4 dimensions, the basic unit of 4th dimensional space is an 8 vertexed hypercube. (this number is also holy, but in a way beyond normal human consideration - the end of time, the reconciliation that is never spoken of directly)

7 is the number of time, and the threshold of the 4th dimension. (This is the holy number, of the place beyond human space. This is why the sabbath occurs on the seventh day, you deal not with space and matter but with time.)

6 is the number of three dimensions, as the basic unit of 3 dimensional space is a 6 faced cube.

5 is the number of warp, the threshold of the 3rd dimension

4 is the number of 2 dimensions, as the basic unit of 2 dimensional space is a 4 sided square

3 is the number of curve, the threshold of the 2nd dimension

2 is the number of 1 dimension, as the basic unit of 1 dimensional space is a 2 ended line segment

1 is the number of awakening, the threshold of reality itself.

(0 is the singularity, and thus beyond all consideration)
