Here is another possible connection between numbers and the Germ of Life. It likely doesn’t stem directly from the Chaldean tradition. It follows the doubling sequence: 1, 2, 4, 8, 7 (from 16), 5 (from 32 or 14)… but not in that exact order. Instead, it appears in the sequence defined, for example, by the formula:
1/7 = 0.142857…
Opposing values add up to 9, which makes this a kind of “magic hexagon”—in a similar sense to how we also know “magic squares.”
