1230.00 Scheherazade Numbers
1230.10 Prime-Number Accommodation: Integration of Seven: The Babylonians did not accommodate a prime number like 7 in their mathematics. Plato had apparently been excited by this deficiency, so he multiplied 360 by 7 and obtained 2,520. And then, seeing that there were always positives and negatives, he multiplied 2,520 by 2 and obtained 5,040. Plato apparently intuited the significance of the number 5,040, but he did not say why he did. I am sure he was trying to integrate 7 to evolve a comprehensively rational circular dividend.
1230.11 is a simple low number. As both chemistry and quantum physics show, nature does all her associating and disassociating in whole rational numbers. Humans accommodated the primes 1, 2, 3, and 5 in the decimal and duodecimal systems. But they left out 7. After 7, the next two primes are 11 and 13. Humans’ superstition considers the numbers 7, 11, and 13 to be bad luck. In playing dice, 7 and 11 are “crapping” or drop-out numbers. And 13 is awful. But so long as the comprehensive cyclic dividend fails to contain prime numbers which may occur in the data to be coped with, irrational numbers will build up or erode the processing numbers to produce irrational, ergo unnatural, results. We must therefore realize that the tables of the trigonometric functions include the first 15 primes
1230.12 We know 7 x 11 is 77. If we multiply 77 by 13, we get 1,001. Were there not 1,001 Tales of the Arabian Nights? We find these numbers always involved with the mystical. The number 1,001 majors in the name of the storytelling done by Scheherazade to postpone her death in the Thousand and One Nights. The number 1,001 is a binomial reflection pattern: one, zero, zero, one.
1230.20 SSRCD Numbers: If we multiply the first four primes, we get 30. If we multiply 30 times 7, 11, and 13, we have 30 x 1,001 or 30,030, and we have used the first seven primes.
1230.21 We can be intuitive about the eighth prime since the octave seems to be so important. The eighth prime is 17, and if we multiply 30,030 by 17, we arrive at a fantastically simple number: 510,510. This is what I call an SSRCD Number, which stands for Scheherazade Sublimely Rememberable Comprehensive Dividend. As an example we can readily remember the first eight primes factorial,510! (Factorial means successively multiplied by themselves, ergo $1 \times 2
\times 3 \times 5 x 7 x 11 x 13 x 17 = 510,510$.)
1230.30 Origin of Scheherazade Myth: I think the Arabian priest-mathematicians and their Indian Ocean navigator ancestors knew that the binomial effect of 1,001 upon the first four prime numbers 1, 2, 3, and 5 did indeed provide comprehensive dividend accommodation of all the permutative possibilities of all the “story-telling-taling-tallying,” or computational systems of the octave system of integers.
1230.31 The function of the grand vizier to the ruler was that of mathematical wizard, the wiz of wiz-dom; and the wiz-ard kept secret to himself the mathematical navigational ability to go to faraway strange places where he alone knew there existed physical resources different from any of those occurring “at home,” then voyaging to places that only the navigator-priest knew how to reach, he was able to bring back guaranteed strange objects that were exhibited by the ruler to his people as miracles obviously producible only by the ruler who secretly and carefully guarded his vizier’s miraculous power of wiz-dom.
1230.32 To guarantee their own security and advantage, the Mesopotamian mathematicians, who were the overland-and-overseas navigator-priests, deliberately hid their knowledge, their mathematical tools and operational principles such as the mathematical significance of7x11x13 = 1,001 from both their rulers and the people. They used psychology as well as outright lies, combining the bad-luck myth of the three prime integers with the mysterious inclusiveness of the Thousand and One Nights. The priests warned that bad luck would befall anyone caught using 7s, 11s, or 13s.
1230.33 Some calculation could only be done by the abacus or by positioning numbers. With almost no one other than the high priests able to do any calculation, there was not much chance that anyone would discover that the product of 7, 11, and 13 is 1,001, but “just in case,” they developed the diverting myth of Scheherazade and her postponement of execution by her Thousand and One Nights.
