NUMBERS SUCK - MATH SUCKS

by  Jack Bowman mailto:dapoets@bright.net

Now to numbers.

First of all I would say that we created it all.  But we really didn’t.  It just happens that it wasn’t written down.  That is the part we created (the writing down)

We have two art periods that I am going to talk about.  One is the Perigordian from 30-40,000 years ago.  There had been art 20,000 years before that but it was essentially realistic and contained no math as we know it.  That 30-40,000 years contained the first written record (lunar notations on bone)  So what was the first math?  More than likely the first COMPLICATED math was the changing of the moon.  There was probably simple math much earlier like I will trade you this for that etc.  There was also a two or really one minus one and that was the sun and no sun.  Also this really set us up for the birth of formal religion.  Humans are such suckers.

Back to art

Art was really pretty cool until about 12,000 years ago.  So Art had a good run of 30,000 years.  But then during the Mesolithic period it all went to shit.  We invented the bow and arrow, domesticated the sheep and dog, made cities, cultivated crops and HERE was when abstract patterns appeared in greater numbers.  MATH was born.  The Mesolithic period ended about 4,500 years ago at about the same time of Stonehenge.

Now back to numbers like 11, 7, 3.  It would appear that they are conditioned with a 12,000 year run of math conditioning.  However, we have to consider that the Hawk knows math, the bee knows math and we (humans) have to know the one minus one for light and dark and the 28 days or so for the moon change. (SEE INFORMATION BELOW ABOUT BEES AND HAWKS)  This is called VISUAL MATH.  This is the real math that humans and other species know. An example would be my dog Max when I took him on our usual walk and there was a new "For Sale" sign. He apparently had his environment memorized and when something new appeared he would notice it and his CAUTION match formula would kick in.

The most obvious works of the visual math formula is in the performance art piece The Red Queen Principle. The index page has links to the afterimages in "Jack's Cave".  They show us that the three dimensional world exist and that we are the center of this three dimensional universe. http://www.performanceart2.com/redqueen/index.htm  Also on this site is Lewis Carroll's visual math mystery from "Alice in the Garden of Live Flowers" http://www.performanceart2.com/redqueen/mystery.htm

So numbers as we know (actually are taught because I know better) them may have some significance but it is probably and almost for sure locked into some non-math type material such as movement in the ether (Ǽther).

Here are some relevant links to my sites:

The Visual Math link mentioned above has examples of "Visual Math" that I did in the early 1990's.

THE DARK time based on the early roman calendar that does not include the two months of winter

Real math is probably an act.  Perhaps a visual act but probably not.  It is probably just that act disturbing the ether (aether).  Here is the first thought.  It appears based on sex but probably is not.   A  toroid core (the doughnut thingie) will form a magnetic field by itself.  I think to really deal with this stuff we cannot think visually nor with words or math.  We have to think act (and act means movement)  Here is the site:

Jack’s Theorem (my theorem)  Yes it is just a simple math trick but then that is what all theorems are.  It measures the act of combining :

Evolution math formula that I worked on but never got it to work:

http://members.tripod.com/~jackbowman/SuperCode/evolmath.htm   One without math  http://members.tripod.com/~jackbowman/SuperCode/scserch1.htm There are a lot of links on this page that would keep you busy for hours.

Animals know math.  Bees know a type of geometry:  http://members.tripod.com/~jackbowman/SuperCode/bedance.htm   Not on this page but Hawks cannot count.  They can see that two people go into a blind and then if one leaves they think they are both gone.  Actually they do know math but it is their math and it further indicates that we made ours up.  To the Hawk two minus one equals zero.  This may help them in their power of concentration that is necessary to catch food.

The last site and probably the most important one of all SEARCH FOR THE GARDEN   It is  the evolution dance but it is a series of actions.:
