I happened upon CyberYamu's channel as I was looking into Nick Land's work as part of the research for an introductory course to Cybernetics & Metaprogramming.

This system is the basis for the Tarot Deck (as per the French Occultist Papus in the book which is one of the few to explain this topic well Tarot of the Bohemians) and uses the same two operations of Theosophic Addition (Called Triangulation in the Numogram's System) and Theosophic Reduction to a single digit.

My particular inquiry has now come down to figuring out what is the precise difference between Land's Base-9 and Papus' Base-10 system given they both use the same operations.

Papus' System (the subject of this post) is interesting in that this pattern will repeat forever in all natural numbers beginning with 1 (as the Monad / Unity)

The idea is simply the GENERATIVE PRINCIPAL

(The use of => means 'Yields' or 'Culminates in' with the added point that it is a Regeneration, => 4 means that 4 will end the first series and also start the next, Triangulate(4) = 10 , Reduce 1+0 = 1 and so 4 becomes the new Monad and starts the next series. So does TA(7) = 7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 28 (2+8=10) (1+0=1) and this repeats every time you add 3, so also 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25 ...... forever)

[Shorthand for Triangulation: (n(n+1)/2)]

• Father + Mother = Child => Family
• Active + Passive = Neuter => Active Regenrate
  • 1 (Active), 2 (Passive), 3 (Neuter) => 4
    • Triangulate 4 4+3+2+1 = 10 then reduce 1+0 = 1
  • 4 (Active), 5 (Passive), 6 (Neuter) => 7
    • Triangulate 7 7+6+5+4+3+2+1=28 then reduce 2+8=10=1+0=1
  • 7 (Active), 8 (Passive), 9 (Neuter) => 10
    • Triangulate 10 10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 55 then reduce 5+5 = 10 = 1+0 = 1
  • 10 (Active), 11 (Passive), 12 (Neuter) => 13
    • Triangulate 13 13+12+11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 91 then reduce 9+1 = 10 = 1+0 = 1
  • 13 (Active), 14 (Passive), 15 (Neuter) => 16
    • Triangulate 16 16+15+14+13+12+11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 136 then reduce 1+3+6 = 10 = 1+0 = 1
  • In the Tarot deck, the graphics below will then group together all of the Actives, Passives, Neuters with the caveat that you have to account for the dual role of 4, 7 for all of the Regens
    • Active Set: {1, 4, 7, King}
    • Passive Set: {2, 5, 8, Queen}
    • Neuter Set: {3, 6, 9, Knight}
    • Regen Set: {(4), (7), 10, Knave}
    • 4 is 4 in the end role where (4) is 4 in the capacity as initiator
• Proton + Electron = Neutron => Atom
• State + Church = Mob/Masses => Society
• Problem + Reaction = Solution => Resolution
• Thesis + Antithesis = Synthesis => New Paradigm
• Root Note (Active) + Third Note = Fifth Note => Chord
• (In this context) Fire + Water = Air => Earth
• Photosynthesis in Biology
  • Sunlight (Active)
  • Water (Passive)
  • CO2 (Neuter)
  • Glucose (Sustains life / Regen)
