Q: (EJA) In the factorial primes of the Scheherazade Numbers why do you have high, but declining, powers in the first primes and no powers in the higher primes at the end of the series?
RBF: “Well the reoccurrence of the number two is very frequent. We have to provide a lot of powers for 3, 5, and 7 to take care of all the computations and permutations. But the number of times you need 43 is very low compared to the number of times you need the number 11. The powering really stops at 17, which is all you need to accommodate the octave system from 0 through 9. You have the zero to accommodate the waves. But 17 gives you all the primes up to 18 which accommodates the two nines.”
