observations

  • base 10, but their measuring stick is in 7x4=28
  • obsession of powers of 2, the hekat and the horus eye fractions
  • why 6D (hey jowsey physics)
  • hieroglyphic enumerations loose ordering
    • in mmp, cauchy, we always descent left to right, 1/10 -> 1/100 -> 1/1000
    • did the egyptians mean something when they descided to do things like 1/100 -> 1/10 -> 1/1000 ?
