Numbers-Repetition -Failure to move outside loop

Numbers are: i. they are counting without their own meaning ii. they cannot lead you without a unit iii. they are efficient for repetition Since numbers are counting, only material things can be counted upon. They can be recorded with reference to a benchmark. We can see the inability of numbers to capture the value of capital. Whatever is in the future, they cannot, because it lacks the material which has already existed. Capital is something that will exist in the future. Hence, numbers need past events and also the benchmark against which measurement or counting can be made. They only repeat. You earn 10, 100, 1000, 10000, etc., by trading or producing or through employment; you repeat the same thing again and again, just by scaling it up. Here only scaling is quality—or something that transcends, a movement from one loop to another. Numbers give great satisfaction upon a false sense of security. They repeat. Two men, twenty, two thousand, etc.—they are still men and therefore repetition. Someone truly breaking this loop is something else, and cannot be counted upon as man alone again. Likewise, anything that a number is assigned to is the product of repetition and thus cannot lead one outside the loop. Random: We can count life, from first breath to last; still, it is a number, and yet life. When the fire transcends into light, from its potential to exhaustion, in between it blazes—and we call it fire. That is where one transcends. We can burn fire again and again, thus counting the process of burning something, yet something skips the loop.
