“’My poetry is without end; The more of it you read, The more you realize You have just begun. It is an epic readable in any country, For we all speak numbers. Though speaking one language, In my present form, There are six tongues; Residing in one space, But lying in different directions. Such that the one poem Tells six different stories. In my favorite story, A unique existence doubles itself As it climbs downward: First it is one, then two, then four. In all the tongues, Rhyming units cascade Down the poem’s boundaries, The speakers keeping step In the one rhythm. Like the descent of the ancestors Passing on in an unbroken spiral To make the next generation, This poetry is composed of What has come before; And children can realistically Become more than Either of their parents, But only because their parents Have collectively given their all To become their children. Here the stories of families Such as the Binary family and the Pyramid family Are contained. Multiple religions are herein present: The people of the Addition And the people of the Subtraction Peacefully coexist, and beyond this, Harmoniously interdepend, Opposites though they are; One moving downward While the other moves upward. In these many tongues, All communicate most powerfully Not in smashing brightness, But in silent depth, Singing the Meru-prastaara, The song with numbers for words. Proving that often That which is left unsaid Counts most, And indeed means most. |
Many centuries ago, an ancient pyramid was discovered. This
pyramid was not found sitting in a sandy desert, nor was it made of
stone. This pyramid was found in the imagination, and was made of
pure numbers.
Today, this pyramid is known by the name of one of its most recent
explorers, Blaise Pascal. In The Children of Color, we call it
by the name of one of its first explorers, the Indian mathematician,
Halayudha, who called it the meru-prastaara.
Like the dome of the Temple of Color, this pyramid has a top. But
unlike the structures made on the earth, this pyramid has no bottom,
and so is truly infinite in its scope. Also, unlike a structure made of
earth, this construction is two-dimensional, and so really more of a
triangle than a pyramid.
Let us walk in the footsteps of Halayudha and Pascal, and investigate
this triangle. At the very top, it has the simplest of beginnings. The
number one sits at its summit. From there, each number is formed
from adding the two numbers above it.
The picture above depicts Halayudha's Triangle in the binary code.
The place values are each of the six triangles that make up a hexagon
piece. The place values start at the top left with place value one, and
move downward from there to two and four. Then starting at right top
and going down again, the place values are eight, sixteen, and
thirty-two. A triangle seen in black represents the digit one, and a
triangle seen in gold represents the digit zero.
