This morning I was sent a video that kind of sort of really blew my mind. A simple video entitled “Chinese Multiplication” (though rumor has it that this methods origins are Japanese), maybe you’ve seen it floating around you Facebook here or there. This video is mindblowing, mainly because it opened up my mind to a radical new concept about how numbers work.
Know of course – that there is in fact a logical explanation for the whole thing which (if observed by itself) would probably fit inside the same old paradigm of mathematics that we are all familiar with… But the other side of the coin, the female side that is a little more creative and colourful – if properly explored, can dramatically alter your perception of numbers, numerology and the whole mathematical spectrum.
But how does that happen?
For the average person, numbers are thought about as a very linear thing. From 0 to Infinity on either side of the spectrum. A way to count things or list things, or a representation of how many dinero’s you owe to any number of people or organizations.
