The 123 Symbol



Channel Number 5' (Oil painting on canvas by Alan Rayner, 2007).


This picture is based on understanding numbers (and all natural flow-forms) as living relational channels, not discrete points on a dead line to infinity. The symbolism is largely based around the words of 'Green Grow the Rushes, O', and shows how when 'One' is not 'All Alone (all one)', 'Two' (the lily white swans dressed in greenery) is no longer 'binary' opposition and 'Three' is no longer a bone of contention for rivalry between One and Other. Instead, One dynamically includes Other, and the 'Gold (Air), Silver (Water) and Bronze (Earth)' of 'Olympic Sovereignty' is no longer a hierarchical 'order of merit' but a vital Communion of All including All. Moreover, darkness (the blackness of the Fifth and Infinite dimension/channel) is an inclusion of light and no longer 'objectified' as 'Evil' (Evil being a product of excluding Shadow through the attempt to purify Light in the Quest for definitive Knowledge of Right and Wrong; when Shadow is excluded, Love is excluded and 2 become opposites in conflict, not the heart formed from their mirror imaging). This is why we need to love Other as Self, not make an Enemy of It. Love (receptivity) turns One Way to Hate When Excluded, but flows Both ways when included.

A mathematical view on the '123' Symbol

Lere Shakunle writes:

This symbol illustrates the biphasic Fluid Logic Number (fln): '123', where ‘2’ is the central numerical identity in the overlap or ‘mandorla’ of two spheres of influence. The informational limits (but not spatial limits) of these spheres encompass but cannot, without over-reaching 2’s identity, extend beyond the central identities of its neighbours ‘1’ and ‘3’. As with all fln, the central identity is a ‘zeroid’. This receptively faces both ways, not in opposition to, but as a place of communion of its nearest neighbours, each of which can only face one way, respectively to its conventionally ‘left’, more negative or ‘alpha’ side and to its ‘right’, more positive or ‘omega’ side. The combined influence of these neighbours is to complement one another so as to produce absolute zero as an internal balance point, not an exceptional nothing point, in the centre of the overlap that forms the heart of 2.


So, imagine that instead of representing ‘2’ as an isolated member of the conventional contiguous series, 1,2, 3, we include it as a channel between its neighbours and include its self-reflection. What we get pictorially is our symbol for inclusionality and TfM, where within the heart of ‘2’ and its mirror image is situated the cavity of an open-ended continuous internal (dynamic relationally informed) channel between 1 and 3. This internally situated space inductively receives informational flow (via a process of implicit subtraction, which is reciprocally complemented by implicit addition) in two directions. We have:


1 → 2 → 2 ← 3


where 2 is receiving (implicitly subtracting) both from itself and its neighbours and


1 ← 2 ← 2 → 3


where 2 and its neighbours are respectively receiving from itself and their mutual communicative channel.
