Nikola Tesla treated numbers as more than symbols. He saw them as structural keys, a way to interact with reality rather than merely describe it. Long before computers, he spoke of frequency, vibration, and number as the foundation beneath matter. Not as mysticism, but as mechanics. If reality behaves like a system, then numbers are not decoration, they are access points.
Numerology, when stripped of belief, becomes a tool. A way to track cycles, recognize timing, and detect when systems fall out of alignment. Patterns repeat, not because they must, but because structure enforces them.
If there is something resembling a matrix beneath observable reality, numbers may be the only part of it that consistently leaves fingerprints.
