I'm sorry, but as elegant an argument as you make, I'm not sure this qualifies as philosophy as I understand it.
Lots of #'s, to be sure, but I only have 9 7/8th fingers so that base ten doesn't apply to me.
More like tilted paranoia section if you ask me.
Look, humans are constantly trying to find rational reasons for irrational acts.
The question I have is; Is our need to rationalize blinding us (as humans) to what's going on? What are the limits of our instrument (our brain)? What are limits of our observations of the data (our senses)?
