Numerology is a paradigmatic transhumance, even if it is its most brutal of the basic pattern of methods of divination: the reduction of a vast reality to a few stereotyped meanings. Let me explain.

Supposedly, numerology interprets the world from the numbers assigned to things. However, the numbers themselves are infinite (and they are in ways that most people can not imagine), making them symbols of the really terrible, which is huge and overwhelming, but still finite, or when so it seems. So a significant portion of numerologists cheat: instead of interpreting numbers, interpret the sequences of symbols we use to express them, or the digits, and they do so suitable for memos, because any sequence of digits tends to be reduced to single digits (through the path of least resistance, successive sums). The past, present and future of life and the world expressed miserable nine symbols. And they say that science is reductionist.

Despite its pint of accuracy and "science" of numerology is entirely coincidental. Not only the hours, calendars, measures, writing systems and conversions between letters and digits / numbers vary between different cultures. It also changes the numbering system, which gives the coup de grace to numerology, or should pass. The most common system is by far the decimal, based on 10, but used a vigesimal Mesoamerica, based on 20, and Mesopotamia used a sexagesimal system, based on the 60, which survives today in the clocks, GPS receivers and astrology. Even if everything else was equal, numerologists Maya or Assyrians have completely different results obtained with modern numerologists, nothing extra to use a different amount symbols. Something that changes radically depending on where and when you can not have great cosmic significance.

If one thinks about how complicated it can be astrology and that is a true science not so much about numbers but about their properties and relationships, the real mystery about numerology is his gross and sloppy simplicity to be limited to a handful of characters and integers. A numerologist with math and unscrupulous hobbies could create a method with nothing but endless divinatory meanings assigned uyuyuyantes (and invented, of course) to things such as that there are numbers that are powers of others, or forming part of a sequence (where are the numerological treated on the Fibonacci series?), or together with common properties (such as the Pythagorean triads, although it may itself be a treatise on that.) Will the properties, functions and relationships between numbers are infinite, like the same numbers, and if not infinite are of little use. Maybe it's better that way: it must be painful to see talent wasted size mystical bullshit.

All this digression is to share a curiosity of those who will never see in the treaties of numerology:

2011 is a prime number.

What does that mean? Like numerology, nothing, of course. So I wish you a happy new year, and as the Cosmos is not going to tell you how, take advantage as best he can and will.
