Is there a divine order that can be explained in terms of numbers?The hebrew Kabbalists would have us believe so.
Music and Mathematics are inexorably intertwined,the 2 being quite similar, based upon fixed,finite rules, but life is not so my vote is nay.

Is it only an appearance that life does not function on fixed rules? If numbers can explain being logically, isn't this fact by itself quite remarkable because there is no obvious appearance of number in nature.
