Did you ever see a visualization of a rotating hypercube?

This is of course a 3d projection of a 4d event. (Screen coordinates and time) And in our defense: none of us would be able to identify our best friends image if it were projected unto a 1d piece of string. But it serves to clarify my point that it's a little hard to figure things out this way. If you see this and don't know the underlying math it's not telling you anything at all just that it looks weird. If you know the math you can do the math and make predictions that work out and make these weird pictures. But you're still not having the most basic understanding of seeing it because your visual cortex is 3d in nature.
In the same way I reject the idea that this number makes sense to our frame of reference. It might still be accurate to a hyperdimensional mathematician. But uncle Ali doesn't get it.
And he's not even sure there's anything to get about this other than the spiritual message which is clear and very important and maybe the idea that a few densities up it might all still make sense.
It's very relevant in the sense that if we're ever asking if we're making a difference in the world now we know that we're personally responsible for effectively doubling the signal that is invoking a positive outcome. In other words. We're all important beyond measure.
It occurred to me that βαθμιαίος is possibly the first person on earth to have calculated this number.
The amount of memory required by a computer to simply represent this number was restricted to dedicated computer science researchers when Ra sent his transmission. And if I guess at the odds that someone else since had the same idea and the software and knowledge to do it they'd be low. 
Your curiosity is legendary.
