VORTEX AIMing

[Qarel]

Hi Conrad! We were talkign about messages in transcendental numbers, weren't we? I found it interesting to read you were not terribly impressed by the idea (neither am I), so I tried another tack than yours: the reductio ad absurdum. When a transcendental number can be said to hold an infinity of messages, even contradictory ones, the "message in the number" just evaporates. Numbers remain fun, of course, for those susceptible to their charms.

This whole discussion reminds me of that horrible idea of some years ago: the Bible Code. That was even worse. Perhaps I should say is, for people will continue to have an unholy attraction to certainty, while beauty and real messages always involve serendipity.
