Number Pattern:
"Number behavior phenomena is pattern. Number treatment or function treatment without pattern is unthinkable. Formulations and equations are pattern. Numbers are therefore nonexistent without pattern. There are no empty sets of number independent of pattern. There are empty sets but the word ‘sets’ is inherently a subclass of ‘pattern.’
“There are no number ‘abstractions.’ There are pattern abstractions. What is abstracted is the residual generalized pattern. Pattern phenomena is synergetic-- which means behavior of whole systems unpredicted by behavior of respective subsystems-- which is to say that numbers are meaningless independent of pattern.”
