Yawning abyss of the decimal labyrinth

Summary

Yawning abyss of the decimal labyrinth.'in a crypto-kantian sense' - Kant's Critique of Pure Reason is basically a book about time. It argues that the relationship between thought and sensation is only possible because time 'already' provides an infrastructure supporting both sides). A 'schema' is required to connect an intellectual category with the 'pure intuition' (time and space) hosting appearances, thus enabling the emergence of an 'object' (a component of intelligible experience). This is why I thought the referencre especially relevant to Tachi's Q.s, which seemed in part to be asking whether the Numogram belonged to thought or to the world...A Kantian schema is situated in the 'between' ... and it's quite (hence 'crypto-') like a time-map.- Nick Land, Numogram Q&A - THE NUMOGRAM = 234 AQ = THE TIME GUIDE = NINE NINE NINEThe Hidden NumeralsThe natural numbers, far from being boring asignifying entities rapdily appear more enigmatic, structured, and occulted the more one examines them. This fundamental structure is not just a curiosity but a toolset.Every composite integer hides a subterranean link - via factorization - to the primes. The primes themselves are a field of singularities within number itself that always contains more structure than any known pattern can capture (see the Ulam Spiral).Forming a composite number by multiplying primes is trivial compared to factoring a composite into its primes (a similar asymmetry-of-effort holds between differentiation and integration in Calculus). This one-way prime-composite asymmetry-of-effort allows very large primes to be operationalized for cryptographic ends.Godel operationalizes the prime-composite relationship to encode formal statements as numbers used to conduct an assault on totalizing axiomatics. Land writes in "Mechanomics":Godel-numbering accomplishes a revolutionary redirection of Kantianism - according to a nomad rather than a Copernican schema - by turning it towards the operationalization of tr...
