MessageExactly. I've always thought numbers are just another of our perceptual
mechanisms (albeit an incredibly elegant one) that only captures part of the
magic that is "actually" out there. Interestingly, this maps well to the
rainbow idea that was on this thread: the colors are continous, but our
perceptual mechanism breaks them down into discrete bands.

But, is it the 'magic' of numbers that produces the patterns or the patterns
that produce the 'magic' of numbers?? big difference it seems to me.

There seems to be a constant about the nature of number across all
cultures: that they have a magically aspect and seem to be an integral part of
the nature of the universe. Of course some numbers seem to be more magic than
others, e.g. Pi. Why numbers are inherent in the universe is another
interesting question considering wave and field theory. Magic?
