Discovery and Formation

 

The double sequence is derived from the Fibonacci sequence. The Fibonacci sequence (where each number is the sum of the two preceding it) goes like this '1-1-2-3-5-8-13-21-34-55-89-144' and so on...

Now, the first thing I did, several years ago, was to reduce the Fibonacci sequence to one digit (I did that because of some studies I had done on numerology and wanted to see if the tecnique to reduce numbers to one digit could be used in other fields... isn't everything connected at some level?).

Example: 21 equals 3 (2+1=3), 144 equals 9 (1+4+4) or 28657 equals 1 (2+8+6+5+7=28 and 2+8=10 and 1+0=1).

I did that for few hundred numbers, I don't remember for sure now but at some point I realized that I was having the same numbers repeated every sequence of twentyfour. Example: 25th digit = 1, 26th digit = 1, 27th digit = 2, 28 digit = 3, 29th digit = 5, 30th digit = 8.... etc seemingly ‘ad infinitum’.

I thought that to be quite interesting. So I started to focus on those numbers and I was wondering why nature set them up like that and being curious to find out where in nature (physics, biology fields etc) we could find correspondence to that sequence. I believe that just as much everything in nature has mathematical roots, every 'elegant' mathematical sequence, equation and so forth, has a corresponding 'life' in nature... Don't ask me to prove that!

The new sequence doesn’t keep its golden ratio propriety like the Fibonacci sequence but interestingly any third number still is the sum of the previous two (reduced to one digit).

After years of playing with the sequence with no results, I finally had the intuition to stagger it like bricks (see below). Soon I realized that it seemed 'natural' for the strings to be placed like that.

The numbers (columns) always add up to nine and the nines are set next to each other (vertically). It couldn't be just randomness. Thentyfour numbers that line up like that?! There must be more to this, I thought, something verifiable in nature, just like the known Fibonacci sequence is.

Also, the sum of all 24 digits equal 117 which reduced is 9 (another coincidence?).

This is the result of the two staggered strings:

Patterns

 

One of the things that I most liked about the doubled sequence is the patterns it forms.

Below I have highlighted the locations of the 'pairs' in separate columns. It is easier to notice the harmony and beauty of its design.

The pairs have a ‘quality’ (or numerical value) which is the same as the numerical value of the spaces that separates them from the pairs of same value (from one pair of nines to next pair of nines).

The 2nd combination, the 2&7 pair is spaced by five positions and the ‘quality’ or difference of the pair is 5 (7-2=5).

The 3rd combination, the 3&6 pair is spaced by three positions and the ‘quality’ or difference of the pair is 3 (6-3=3)

The 4th combination, the 5&4 pair is spaced by one position and the ‘quality’ or difference of the pair is 1 (5-4=1)

The 1st combination, the 1&8 pair is spaced by seven positions but in this case there is an ‘exception’ right in the middle (extra 1&8 pair).  Again this pair seems to be ‘special’ in more than one way, clearly shown below.

Can anyone still think that this is caused by randomness? It is amazing to see that the pairs seem to 'know' the value of their difference! Ex: the pair 7&2 (7-2) =5 and that pair being separated by the other 7&2 pair by 5 spaces... isn't it amazing?

If the known Fibonacci sequence has been found in so many different places in nature... isn't it reasonable to think that this extraordinary mathematical beauty is the mathematical foundation of some process in nature?

 

Sri Yantra Sequence

 

How I connected the Sri Yantra to my finding is fascinating for me. There are some mathematical inconsistncies between the two (maybe reconciable with further studies). But the events that happened to me after the discovery of the double sequence and how I got to associate the two makes me wonder why I was led to associate them in the first place.

This is how I created a new sequence from the double sequence and consequently created the graphic (below) the led me to the association with the Sri Yantra.

Contemplating about the beauty of the simmetries and by the peculiar quality of the pairs to 'recognize' their value 7-2=5 (or...one of their values?) and so the position into the sequence, I thought of creating a new sequence, this time though, from the results of the difference of the pairs as seen above.

Again: 7&2 pair: 7-2=5 the value 5 is used in the sequence. 6&3 pair: 6-3=3 the value 3 is used in the sequence etc.

So I started from the 1&8 pair on the left and ended at the 9&9 at the end of the sequence (24th position).

This is the result: 7 7 5 3 1 7 1 3 5 7 7 [0(9)] 7 7 5 3 1 7 1 3 5 7 7 [0(9)]

It doesn’t seem much at first sight.
So I decided to see a graphic representation of it on excel (see below)

This time the sequence is set in a vertical order. I didn’t know what to do with the nine value, 9 minus 9 is 0 but it seemed improbable that that location would have no value at all (maybe infinite value?). Infact, on my original excel sheet I had indicated that row by reducing row height by half 0(9) value. Later, it proved to be very intuitive.
Each number has as many cells as its numerical value (the two vertical lines on the right 11+11 is my addition which may be important in identifying the sequences with the Sri Yantra and other sacred geometry considerations).

It just seemed a very nice pattern. I decided to do some research on the internet checking out Fibonacci and other math related websites.

On one of the math sitesI saw a link to ‘Sacred Geometry’ (of which I was surprised but it got my attention). I clicked on it and it led me to a page where I saw the Sri Yantra picture (see below):
I was very surprised, to say the list…I noticed the triangles lined up from the top with one triangle, then three in the second row, then five and so on... Then finally I said to my self, 'Now I have to check if there are nine triangles in the middle', and of course that is what I saw. I checked back to my graphic and it contained many too many similarities. Is it there some correlation between the two?, I asked myself'. But I left it there not paying too much attention to this. It definetely made me want to know more about the Sri Yantra though. I did possess a Sri Yantra (designed on copper) that I had purchased in India few years before, but I had never really done any study of it.

So I googled Sri Yantra and the first website I opened was one showing and describing a Sri Yantra that appeared on a dry lake in Oregon. I looked at the picture and then starting to read the description and saw that the discovery was publicly announced on 9-14-1990. 'Interesting', I said to myself. September 14 is a date for me that I will never forget. (For details please read the story of 9-14-2004 that seemingly connects me with 9-14-1990)

Considering the events that occured on 9-14-04 connecting me (the discovery of the staggered sequence) to the Sri Yantra made me really think if there was a message for me or others (but at this point I believe that more expert qualifications in various fields would help to connect the dots) to look deeply into the matter and maybe find some information within it that could be useful for us (humanity).

From the coincidental stumbling on a Sri Yantra site at that perfect time to all the other ones described in the story mentioned before I find it hard to believe that is all randomness.

Some other similarities between the Sri Yantra and the sequence: The 24 digits of the sequence that correspond to the 24 'deities' (see below the 24 deities enclosing the Sri Yantra).Also, there are 24 'empty' cells in the square formed by its formation, see below.

The 9 triangles in the middle of the Sri Yantra corresponding to 'completion' number in the double sequence.

The different ways that is possible to connect the numbers 16 and 8 of the Sri Yantra to the sequence. We can add the numbers of the sequence (only first set of two, row 1 to 11): 7 7 5 3 1 7 1 3 5 7 7 = 53 which equals 8. The same from 13 to 23... together forming 16. We can see that there are two circles of 16 objects in the picture. Another way to connect the number 16 to the sequence is to consider that in order to have all nine digits from the sequence (1,2,3...up to 9) we need to reach the 16th digit.

There are though some inconsistencies. We have in the Sri Yantra only one 7 per side while in the double sequence we have seen two 7 digits per side. Maybe that is the reason why in the Sri Yantra has two extra triangles in the areas assigned to 7?
The Sri Yantra represents only the central part from row 7 to row 17 (see excel graphic above and below).

Below is the represantation of row 7 to 17.

Does it have a particular importance the fact that there are two 'lines' of 7?. Is it indicating that it is only about numerical position in sequence and not about quantity? Could this and other factors actually show that the constructors of the Sri Yantra were not just coping the numbers, inspired by the same sequence, but they were concerned and conveying of the importance of the sequencing value of it?

Many questions arise, but I believe that some day it will be found that the Sri Yantra its not just a beautiful icon but it is a scientific tool, telling us a story that we have no eyes to see yet. Considering all the events that happened relating the Sri Yantra to the sequence, I wouldn't be surprised to see the final resolution of the differences between them.

Namaste
