193. Empire of Numbers: The Indian Origin of Arabic Numerals

Often called Arabic numerals, the modern number system we use today actually originates in India. Whilst in the west they were using Roman numerals, in India they were using numbers 1-9. Then, the great Brahmagupta in the 7th century made one of the most monumental developments in human history. He invented zero in its modern form. Therefore, these basic rules of mathematics for the first time allowed any number up to infinity to be expressed with just ten distinct symbols: the nine Indian numbers plus zero. Rules that are still taught in classrooms around the world today. This step was a major advance that had never previously been attempted elsewhere and it was this Indian reincarnation of zero as a number, rather than just as an absence, that transformed it and gave it its power. From India, this development then travelled along the Golden Road and into the heart of Barmakid Baghdad.  Listen as William and Anita discuss the origins of the Empire of Numbers.

Throughout the Bible numbers have a significant role in revealing the eternal plan and heart of God. The numbers themselves have no power, but can often represent something greater than the initial meaning. To unravel the mystery of numbers throughout the Bible, God's love story to us, we need to go back to the beginning. Where through the first account of the creation story, we gain an understanding of the systematic cycle of creation and the significance of the numbers 1-7, especially the number 7.  As you listen be blessed, empowered and transformed in Jesus name.For more information and free resources visit our website jesuslovestheworld.info Also connect with us in discipleship, watch our videos, follow us on facebook or send us an email

This satisfyingly hourlong episode (you're welcome) starts with a discussion of the United Kingdom's recent reset of climate policies, which PM Rishi Sunak casts as a “more pragmatic, proportionate and realistic approach” to Net Zero, and others decry as a mix of backsliding on things that matter and cancellation of things that weren't even proposed.* Is this a sign of things to come?Maybe, say the (prescient? Or simply well-hedged?) authors of…Our main paper … “No Time To Lose: New Scenario Narratives for Action on Climate Change” by Mark Cliffe and teams from the University of Exeter and the Universities Superannuation Scheme. This takes the shortcomings of Integrated Assessment Models familiar from previous episodes such as Episode 6 (“An orange, a picture of an apple and a mandarine shaped eraser: Critiquing Integrated Assessment Models”), notes that IAMs remain fundamental to well-intentioned efforts to understand the future such as the Network for Greening the Financial System, and sets out the beginnings of a different approach. New scenarios, focussed not on climate change to 2050 but on extreme weather and the politics and economics of climate and energy to 2030, aim to provide a greater spread of relevant possibilities and provide decision-relevant information. But do they succeed? Opinions differ!Three cited examples of differing paradigms for prognostication are:The Rupert Way et al simple abstract world energy system model included in The Oxford Learning Rates Paper we keep banging on about (originally in Episode 11)Absurdly complex and bug-riddled simulationism like wonderful nerdy videogame Dwarf FortressThe ultimate prediction science of Psychohistory in Isaac Asimov's Foundation novelsOne more thingsAlison's One More Thing is the National Electricity Law, which has recently been amended to include an emissions reduction objective at s7(c) of the Schedule. Now to flesh out how that will be reflected in decisionmaking… Tennant's One More Thing is the Victorian Renewable Gas Consultation Paper, open for submissions til 6 October.Luke's One More Thing is a video game called Umurangi Generation, in which cyberpunk and anime aesthetics collide with a landscape shaped by climate disaster.

Find out next time - or tell us yourself via mailbag@letmesumup.net or @LukeMenzel, @TennantReed, @alison_reeve and @FrankieMuskovic.*PS: we realised after recording that Alison referred to ULEV (ultra-low emission vehicle) instead of ULEZ (ultra-low emissions zone) in our opening segment on the Great British Back Off. ULEZ is correct. It's hard enough to keep the Australian acronyms straight some days, let alone the British ones.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.07.04.547627v1?rss=1 Authors: Retter, T. L., Erassmy, L., Schiltz, C. Abstract: Neural processing of numerical concepts may be measured in humans automatically, without a related numerical task. However, the extent to which neural responses to symbolic numbers are due to physical stimulus confounds independently of conceptual representations remains unknown. Here, we targeted conceptual responses to parity (even vs. odd), using an electroencephalographic (EEG) frequency-tagging approach with a symmetry/asymmetry paradigm. Fifty second sequences of Arabic numerals (2-9) were presented at 7.5 Hz; odd and even numbers were alternated, so that differential responses to parity would be captured at 3.75 Hz (7.5 Hz/2). Parity responses were probed with four different stimulus sets, increasing in intra-numeral stimulus variability. Moreover, two control conditions were tested for each stimulus set, comprised of non-conceptual numeral alternations (strong control, for small inter-group physical differences: 2,3,6,7 vs. 4,5,8 and 9; weak control, for large physical differences: 2,4,5,7 vs. 3,6,8,9). Significant asymmetrical responses at 3.75 Hz were found over the occipitotemporal cortex to all conditions, thus even for arbitrary numeral groups. The weak control condition elicited the largest response in the stimulus set with the lowest level of variability (1 font). Only in the stimulus set with the highest level of variability (20 hand-drawn, colored exemplars per numeral) did the response to parity surpass both control conditions. These findings show that physical differences across small sets of Arabic numerals can strongly influence, and even account for, automatic brain responses. However, carefully designed control conditions and highly variable stimulus sets may be used towards identifying truly conceptual neural responses. Copy rights belong to original authors.

The story of numerals

Many Minds

Greetings, all! It’s been a minute, but we’re back, we’re refreshed, and we’re buzzing with excitement about the next few months of Many Minds. This episode we’re talking about one of humanity’s most powerful cognitive tools: numerals. Numerals are those unassuming symbols we use whenever we read clocks, check calendars, dial phone numbers, or do arithmetic. My guest on today’s show is Stephen Chrisomalis. Steve is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Wayne State University in Michigan, where he specializes in the anthropology of numbers, mathematics, and literacy. He’s the author of the recent book Reckonings: Numerals, Cognition, and History, which is the focus of our conversation today. Humans have developed more than a hundred different systems for representing numbers over the last 5000 years or so. Steve and I discuss how these systems differ from each other. We talk about how they build on the ancient tally systems used in the Upper Paleolithic and how the develop hand-in-hand with writing. We consider the popular idea that the Roman numerals fell from favor because they’re no for good calculation. (Not so much, says Steve.) We also talk about some lesser-known numerical notation systems. Like the one the Cherokee polymath Sequoyah developed alongside his much-celebrated syllabary. And, of course, we cast a glance to the future. What kinds of systems might humans be using centuries or even millennia from now?  Numerals are—in and of themselves—pretty cool. But they become all the more so when we see them in broader context. As Steve’s book makes clear, numerals offer a compelling case study in how of our cognitive technologies are shaped by the vagaries of history, the dynamics of culture, and, of course, the constraints of the human mind.  Learned a lot from this one, folks—I think you’ll enjoy it. Without further ado, here’s my chat with Steve Chrisomalis.   A transcript of this show will be available soon.   Notes and links 3:20 – Dr. Chrisomalis’s doctoral advisor was the prominent archaeologist, Bruce Trigger. 4:30 – A paper by Dr. Chrisomalis and colleagues on the “cultural challenge” in the study of mathematical cognition. 9:50 – One of several papers by Alexander Marshack on Upper Paleolithic tally systems. 19:00 – Dr. Chrisomalis’s earlier book on numeral systems—written for a more specialist audience and encyclopedic in scope—can be found here. 20:10 – The Armenian and Georgian numeral systems. 23:00 – The term “subitizing,” from the Latin for 'sudden,' was introduced in this article by Kaufman et al. in 1949. 24:20 – Conventions for making tally marks vary across cultures, a fact which recently went viral. 33:50 – The ancient Roman abacus was different from abacuses used in Asia. 35:00 – A recent paper on the benefits of abacus training in India. 42:20 – A paper on frequency-dependent selection. 49:00 ­– An article about the Cherokee syllabary, which was invented by Sequoyah. 1:00:20 ­­– A numerical notation developed in the 20th century based on color, used for labeling electrical resistors. 1:09:00 ­­– Dr. Chrisomalis maintains two websites about different kinds of language: Glossographia & The Phrontistery.

On this episode of the Rob & The Regulator Show, Rob and Alex are joined by Bradley from Bradley Taylor Watchmaking. Bradley tells us a bit about his history with watches and how he got into tinkering with them from a young age. Then how a Seiko Monster ignited the passion fully, to the point where he decided to find out how to become a watchmaker. We then get into his time spent studying with friend of the show Henrik Korpela at KHWCC Watchmaking School in Le Locle Switzerland. Once he finished there he returned to Canada and worked for a company servicing high level watches including Hublot and Patek. Bradley tells us about starting a brand with his friend from watchmaking school and how it didn't work out as they hoped due to the Covid 19 pandemic. This did not diminish his desire to build another watch though. He breaks down the process of creating a watch in your own vision and the challenges that come about from wanting to have everything made to the highest standards.

If you have to ask what it symbolizes… There are symbols everywhere. Ever wonder what the eye on a dollar bill means or what dumb meaning the word "God" on that same dollar? A symbol is a mark, sign or word that indicates, signifies, or is understood as representing an idea, object, or relationship. Symbols allow people to go beyond what is known or seen by creating linkages between otherwise very different concepts and experiences. All communication (and data processing) is achieved through the use of symbols. Symbols take the form of words, sounds, gestures, ideas or visual images and are used to convey other ideas and beliefs. For example, a red octagon may be a symbol for "STOP". On a map, a blue line might represent a river. Numerals are symbols for numbers. Alphabetic letters may be symbols for sounds. Personal names are symbols representing individuals. A red rose may symbolize love and compassion. The variable 'x', in a mathematical equation, may symbolize the position of a particle in space. Hosted by Craig Hutchins and Jason Schutt.

Daniel Keer and Joel Vaughn joined us from the Science and Culture Network. SCN is affiliated with the Discovery Institute. Their main purpose is to advance the position that humans are not the consequence of random processes, exposing bias in science and exposing new scientific ideas related to human origin that help explain the gaps in the conventional explanations. They want to bring the discussion to everyone. Check out http://discovery.org/scnsocal Then we discussed Dr. Axe's presentation. We first explained materialism and I think the a brief materialist view. There were two approaches described by Dr. Axe as ways to counter arguments from materialist view: introspection and observation. The introspective approach was explained as a self-defeating argument: In summary: materialists say all that exists are physical, but that viewpoint can't explain the existence of thoughts. We described the difference between Numerals and Numbers. The observation approach was explained in terms of randomness and likelihood. We explored the alphabet soup example to help characterize the level of probability required for things to be as they are observed today as explained by a pure science worldview. Big numbers, low odds. Hosts: Jonathan Noyes, with Eric Horne and guests Joe Vaughn and Daniel Keer from The Southern California Chapter of The Discovery Institute.

to tell numbers in Arabic : we say the "small number" first then "and" then the "big number" a.

EX 27 : English it is "twenty seven" but in Arabic it is said "seven and twenty " i. 27 = sab3ah we 3shreyn – سبعة و عشرين 2. While counting a. Number change according to the gender of the thing you are counting so number has genders in Arabic it could be muscle or feminine b. Don’t count number one and tow just say the single and the dual form of the thing you are counting i. In English one pen = just "pen" in Arabic / قلم ii. In English two pens = dual form in Arabic "pens" in Arabic / قلمان by adding the letter ا ن to the end of the word c. Starting from the count three till the count ten add the number the plural form of the thing you are counting i. 3 pens = ثلاث اقلام ii. 4.5.6.7.8.9 pens = 3.4.5.6.7.8.9 أقلام iii. 10 pens = عشر اقلام d.

Talebian writing style of the author. The author focuses one part of the book to refute other people’s ideas. 3:20 – Problems derived by bad wording and God directed evolution. Mind-first theories depending on a “sky hook” vs “cranes” bottom-up theories. Concept of things that can grow and organize spontaneously, without the need of an external influence. Application in markets. 10:02 – Numerals vs Quantity. Why humans prefer base-10 to count. Use of different numbering bases, like the Mayan base-20 numeral system. 12:14 – Darwin’s main idea. Evolution as a simple algorithm based on natural selection: random things happen, some of those things make the more fit to the environment, therefore those thing last. Explaining genes using energy harvesting and autonomous robots. 14:23 – What’s the point of sleeping? Sleeping is energy efficient. Being awake is the weird thing. An hypothesis on why our brain developed so much is because being awake we have to deal more often with threatening situations. Humans prefer to sleep by night because we are sight animals. 16:29 – About the danger of Darwin’s idea. We are not special, we are just another result of this algorithm, we have no meaning. Against "our mind is special" argument. Winning in evolution. Domesticated animals winning evolution over wild versions: "They are selected to be OK with us". 20:44 – About unfortunate naming and wording. “Knowledge”, “Natural Selection” and “Invisible Hand” example. Random-process-that-results-in-a-refinement concept. 22:26 – Memes genes analogy. Ideas spreading in cultures is like genes spreading in populations. There's nothing special with ideas, there are memes that caught on and last, natural selection applies to them too. Sacred texts interpretation in religions: texts are brutal, core ideas are valuable. 26:25 – Tribal doctors analogy. Nat's experience in the Amazon Jungle. 28:17 – Losing valuable bottom-up knowledge. Paleo diet as going back to this knowledge. How fetishizing technology made as loose knowledge. Golden Rule: the older something is the longer probably will be around because there is a reason that it lasted. 30:31 – Tangent. Why the Greeks seem to have invented so many concepts. Japan preserved as Galapagos. Asian cultures compared to the US . Why in Tokyo they don't have trash cans. Street food culture in Asian countries. 36:40 – Spreading of ideas and knowledge in animals.

Function of bones, appendix and pinky toes. 42:59 – Tangent. About raw water, beer and coffee. How coffee may have caused Renaissance. 45:53 – Aquatic ape hypothesis. The reason we differentiate from chimps is because at one point of our history we were at half way of being dolphins. Inclination to live near water bodies. 50:30 – Epigenetics. Why the author overlooked this topic. Genes and phenotypes. How modifying our diets and behaviors can bias our evolution in few generations. Keto diet reaction for different regions. Effect of testosterone on facial traits. 59:25 – Tangent. Food labeling. Labeling in beer as a marketing strategy . Sugar allowance and lobbies. Super high carb diet and avoiding mixing carbs and fat diets. Against Mediterranean diet. 1:03:55 – Concept of of speciation. We can analyze evolution going backwards but can’t predict it. Problems with too much forward planning. "Strong goals loosely held" (instead of opinions). Humans won because we cooperate, or, we survived some event. Traffic jam example. 1:08:03 – Retrograde motion. Geocentric orbit model. "God hides in the gaps." 1:12:15 – Intentional and unintentional creations. Scientific discoveries vs art creation. Library of Babel thought experiment: infinite library that has every possible human creation but there is only one random variation expressed, as an analogy for genetic expression. Example of horned birds. “Evolution can explain how whe are here, but can’t explain why”. 01:16:23 – Darwin's warm pool idea of how life could have formed. The chances that we find human-like life in other planets are very low. Possible branches of evolution and comfortable homeostasis. “If the astro hadn't hit, would we have stayed a dinosaurs' planet?” 1:18:46 – Misinterpretations of seeing humans as the end of evolution. Coin flipping contest example. "Winning" evolution. 1:22:37 – Connection with Godel Escher Bach. Our consciousness and our minds are not special. Parallel with ants. Evolutionary algorithms in Computer Science and AI. Against the “all of this constants are right for us to exist” argument.

Each letter of the alphabet represents a phoneme, a tiny sound that joins with other tiny sounds to make the more complex sounds we call words. Words are mere shadows cast by ideas. But the ideas they represent are real. Numerals are images of amounts. But the amounts they represent are real. You see a person when you look in the mirror that no one sees but you. Other people see a person when they look at you, but you're not that person, either. Dulcinea was the image of feminine perfection in the mind of Don Quixote. In reality, she was a common, earthy village girl with nothing special about her. “I think the idealization of women is indigenous to men. There are various ways of idealizing women, especially sexually, based in almost every case on their inaccessibility. When a woman functions as an unobtainable love object, then she takes on a mythical quality. You can see this principle functioning as a sales device in advertising and in places like Playboy magazine. Almost every movie you see has this quality, because you can't embrace the image on the screen. Thousands of novels use this principle, because you can't embrace a printed image on a page.” – James Dickey, Self Interviews, p. 153 Bible illustrator Barry Moser says, “I think when people have illustrated the Bible, most of them have been devout Christians. Because they're devout Christians they can't separate themselves from the work. They get mired in piety, so they can't see the darkness. They only see the light of salvation. But if you don't have the darkness to contrast with the light, then what are you offering but cotton candy for Sunday school children?” Moser goes on to say, “The truth I see is that the Bible is populated with people like you and me. People who are flawed and imperfect. People who have crooked teeth and bad skin. Who have stinky breath and dirty feet. Who don't always know the difference between right and wrong. Who are self-serving and capricious. People caught in the conflict and dichotomy between good and evil, between the sacred and the profane, between beauty and ugliness, and between the bright and the moronic. People who hope – and many believe – that they are made in the very image of God.” Do we tend to believe in a god whose attitude reflects our own? In her book Bird by Bird Anne Lamott speaks of a friend named Tom who said, “You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.” By the way, a single copy of the deluxe edition of the Bible illustrated by Barry Moser sells for about $30,000. http://www.todayinliterature.com/texts.asp?textID=1916&contributorID=3 (Want to take a look at it?) In 1971, Marshall McLuhan spoke about the gap between image and reality in politics. “Politics will eventually be replaced by imagery. The politician will be only too happy to abdicate in favor of his image because the image will be much more powerful than he could ever be.” Whether it's women… or politicians… or God… we tend to believe in images that aren't entirely accurate. But McLuhan wasn't the first to note the fact that we Americans tend to vote for a romanticized reflection of ourselves. H. L. Mencken, writing for the Baltimore Evening Sun on July 26, 1920: “As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” H.L. Mencken, a journalist, wrote those words 85 years and 11 months ago. Human beings are creators, flinging powerful images into the minds of their fellow men. And all of these images are built of tiny particles of thought. Knowing how to sculpt vivid mental images from particles of thought is a very powerful thing. In reality, it's the basis of every form of art, including sculpture,...
