Many years I watched this movie "Pi", which is about a mathetician in NYC who was involved in analyzing the stock market. He is a freak.
However, I think that most Masons who are into Pythagoras and the Golden Mean, and perhaps even Gematria (since there is a sub-plot in there about the Hasidim, who are doing Kabalah and also want to enlist the help of this dude).
The music is also great! It's a lot of drum 'n bass.
I also enjoyed the b/w style of the film, as well as the look. Finally, there were a lot of shots of NYC, where I spent more than a few years of my life. Cool shots of the subway.
Anyway, some of the focus is on the various aspects in which the Fibonacci series is manifest in various natural structures, and the various patterns of the great spiral of life is also a focus of the film.
Anyone familiar?

Yup. Fibonacci, Sacred Geometry, QBL, with a touch of creepy. One of my favorites.

Both Pi and the Fibonacci series are to be found in the design of the Pyramids.

You guys might like this... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Brief Overview of Torsion: The Key to a Theory of Everything—Including Consciousness? Copyright © Brendan D. Murphy, March, 2012 Putting a Twist on Things The first research generally credited with the discovery of this “fifth force”—torsion—was that done in the late 1800s by Russian professor N.P. Myshkin.1 Einstein’s colleague Dr. Eli Cartan first termed this force “torsion” in 1913 in reference to its twisting movement through the fabric of space-time. In the 1950s pioneering Russian scientist Dr. N.A. Kozyrev (1908–1983) conclusively proved the existence of this energy, demonstrating that, like time, it flows in a sacred geometric spiral,2 as I detail in The Grand Illusion (TGI). Russian scientists are reported to have written around 10,000 papers on the subject in the 1990s alone. blog.world-mysteries.com/science/torsion-the-key-to-theory-of-everything/

Which way does it flow? Up to down? Side to side? Bottom to toP?

It may be useful to consider Torsion as a way to view and manipulate the denser levels of the life-aether. Thus the Torsion flows outside of time and space but manifests within time-space. At a more profound plane of the same life-aether galaxies may be manifested. Some humans are able to manipulate lower levels of the planetary flows to produce unusual phenomena such as out-of-place weather and other apparently natural events - particularly using scalar interferometers based on the papers published by E. T. Whittaker around 1903. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._T._WhittakerSome humans are able to manipulate their personal flow of life-aether using consciousness. This can include virtually instant healings of major injuries. There is military use of such consciousness under the term super soldier. Various autobiographies and interviews can be found on the web.

"Beejay" Extraordinary or not, can you provide ANY evidence for your extraordinary claims? Or even a source? Was it perhaps our Pleiadian Brethren or the all-knowing Russtafari? A wise man proportions his belief to the evidence

If you are always looking for that only which you have proof of, you will never move beyond that which is already proven.

Marty Armstrong discovered that the value of Pi appears in various ways in the cycles of market prices. He asserts that the video Pi was made about him and his discoveries. He was jailed for contempt of court - for not handing over things he said he did not have. After 7 years he was released and has now recommenced his modelling of the global economy and markets. He is good value armstrongeconomics.com/

If everything in nature and science (in existence/creation) can be represented mathematically, and by reverse, if every mathematical peculiarity represents something actual in nature and science, then what does the so-called irrationality or never ending decimal expansion of pi represent?

Does it not indicate the limitations of human thinking and the limited usefulness of the decimal system?
I suspect that nature is more perfect than humanity at present

I presented the question/riddle upon a premise that mathematics is not limited but accurately representative of all existent structures and dynamics.

>mathematics is not limited but accurately representative of all existent structures and dynamics
When I was taught geometry there were various geometries one could choose, and the choice was for the one that worked most easily in the solving the problem.
For example in Euclidean geometry, given a line and a separate point, only one line can be drawn through that point parallel to the first line, while in some non-Euclidean geometries many lines can be drawn through that point parallel to the first line.
According to my professor, non-Euclidean geometries worked better across the solar system, but the choice of contradictory geometries was one of convenience of solution.
So your proposition may well be correct when referring to the full set of all possible mathematics, but I suggest that our current state of mathematical knowledge is limited by both our consciousnesses and the relatively local data collectable by telescope and microscope.

Yes Peter, I am referring to mathematics in its fullest sense, as it is so far known and also what is as yet unknown.
I was posing something to muse upon and perhaps provide a little head stretch for those interested in indulging. The peculiar nature of Pi can stretch the mind nicely I think. So do prime numbers, especially in comparison to the other numbers. But so do all numbers, shapes, and anything, is interesting to think about and delve into, for me anyway.
As freemasons we understand that symbols are representative of loftier realities. Symbols down grade and simplify things hard to comprehend, and in so doing prime our mind and make it ready to take in the greater truths which symbols represent, and so in a sense symbols draw the two together, our self and greater truth.
If we live in a fractal creation where every thing and every dynamic is replicated and replicates in similar form and function in dimensions above and below, within and without, to the extent that their respective dimensions and the nature of their matter enable, then what might numbers as we know them be representative of? And geometry too? What greater reality, greater process, might mathematics and geometry result from? And when we ponder numbers and geometry, what greater equivalent at some insurmountable level might we be attuning with, priming our mind to someday comprehend?

I seem to recall that Pythagoras thought that numbers were alive. In my own experience of economic modelling I can recall an equation with lunar numbers (monthly) on one side and solar numbers (quarterly) on the other. The numbers were not happy.
At the same time the model containing that equation appeared to be causing pain to the economic entity that it was purporting to model - rather like calling a human by a bad name.

Imagine if numbers were alive and could be shown to be alive. Now that would shake things up a bit.
But of course the idea that numbers are alive is irrational ... isn't it?
Wasn't one of Pythagoras' group supposedly drowned by the others for publicly revealing the existence of what we today call irrational numbers, like Pi?

And there is a whole study of irrational numbers. Radionics is an example of a practical system that uses rational numbers directly to influence reality.
