The following is a 'forward' from a discussion among some of the "Code Gang" members (myself included). "CodeUFO@aol.com" is Gary Val Tenuta. "JMason4557@aol.com" is Joe Mason. I thought this might be of some interest to some of those on the List. -- Michael L. M.

In "modulo arithmetic" it is related to remainders of divisions. Marko Rodin showed that a repeating pattern of numbers is derived by the method in the cross addition of the powers of two (1, 2, 4, 8, etc.). The repeating pattern is: 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5 Notice that the numbers 3, 6, and 9 are missing. The missing numbers are thought to be a "gap space" pattern, related to the torus. See: Marco Rodin's Toroid Sunflower Map (doubling+3, 9, 6, etc. gap sequence) Good email, Gary !! I was just now reviewing this, and something about this "1,2,4,8,7,5" pattern struck me. After I shook off the effects of the blow, the pattern did at least apologize to me ... which I appreciated ... and then, I said, "I've seen you somewhere, before .." .. I noticed the same digits ... repeating ... in a *slightly different* order ... in the Pi approximation !! (22 / 7) = 3.142857142857142857142857 ... And ... in the HALF-Pi approximation (11 / 7) = 1.571428571428571428571428 ... The same 6 digits ... repeating in a pattern. After the decimal point, the Pi approximation sequence starts with "1" ... and after the decimal point, the HALF-Pi approximation sequence starts with "5" ... but the order-of-digits is identical. Notice what happens if we subtract .... 571428 - 142857 = "428571" .... same 6 digits. Try addition .... 571428 + 142857 = "714285" ... same 6 digits. Now subtract the above 'results' ... 714285 - 428571 = "285714" .... same 6 digits. Now add the above 'results' .... 714285 + 428571 = 1142856 .... the pattern is broken .. (?) .. BUT ... there's still the "4285" sequence left. NOW .... *divide* that "1142856" figure by .... "2" ..... 1142856 / 2 = "571428" .... back to the "HALF-Pi" sequence !!!! Is this a key to .... something regarding DNA, maybe ? Gary ? Anyone ? This is pretty impressive to me. -- Michael
