i'm confused. it's all base 8, right? 8 is suppose to be the
completion right, or is it a new beginning? or is a new beginning the
same as a completion, with no middle separating them? this is what
i'm confused on. like i just thought of the phrase "alpha and the
omega". so, what base number system would we use in reference to the
densities? base 8? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 20 21 22 23
24 25 26

that is 22 in base 10, or 26 in base 8. since 2 times 8 plus 6 equals
22.

just realized something. ancient hebrew had 22
characters/letters/symbols. and our english alphabet has 26 letters.
well, what a coincidence i just literally found out in the past
minute. 26 in base 8 equals 22 in base 10. 26 letters in our
alphabet, 22 in the hewbrew alphabet. 26 in base 8 equals 22 in base
10. is it just a coincidence? remember, i just realized this while
doing this post. so i haven't had time to think it through if there
is more to it than that.
