(All of which is not to say that Jane and I haven’t encountered math in some form(s) in our daily lives, probably at times without being conscious of this. We have read about relativity, for instance, in popular paperbacks, and some other paperback books on a variety of subjects that might have included various kind or examples of mathematical formulas, etc. In other words, our contacts with math have been about average, we estimate.

I just got the word Bainbridge... The quadrants, too innumerable to mention. To the 9th—not sure of the word here—to the 9th power or degree. Then, too bad you’re not a mathematical medium, Jane.
(We thought this data preliminary to the regular session, since Jane will get flashes like this sometimes just before Seth speaks. This data didn’t seem to come from Seth, however. Jane said she feels that some of the words she “gets” aren’t correct mathematically, like “assemblage of integers.”

(9:49. Another break. Jane said she wasn’t aware of any particular source for the data—she was “trancey” and the words just came in. It wasn’t Seth, she said. She didn’t know if she got all the words right, but did as well as she could. As far as she knows, she doesn’t have “the slightest mathematical vocabulary.”

(Long pause. Again Jane said: “Don’t write anything yet, I’m not sure of what I’m getting,” while I wrote it anyhow:) I’m getting the impression of a little man with dark hair, and he seems very far away, so I think he’s in the past; and he has old-fashioned clothes on... a watch chain and a vest... connected with a college, a prestige one like Princeton or Yale; and he worked on mathematical theories, and he suspected, oddly enough, that some integers or numbers had unsuspected values, and he was right.

Nor can the intuitive basis of mathematics be denied. The numbers are merely symbols for inner points of recognition. The forces behind the numbers break through, and form their own interaction, affecting all integers to the 99th degree; and from then on an acceleration of effects, a shifting out of focus.
