"Five sixteen, restate my assumptions:

One: Mathematics is the language of nature.
Two: Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers.
Three: If you graph the numbers of any system, patterns emerge.

Therefore, there are patterns everywhere in nature.

Evidence: The cycling of disease epidemics, the wax and wane of caribou populations, sun spot cycles, the rise and fall of the Nile."
