"Numbers then become typical psychological patterns of motion about which we can make the following statements: One comprises wholeness, two divides, repeats and engenders symmetries, three centers the symmetries and initiates linear succession, four acts as a stabilizer by turning back to the one as well as bringing forth observables by creating boundaries, and so on."

- | One striking thing is that Bennett often spoke of the pentad as enabling us to identify the monad: whereas the monad itself is like a collection, the pentad shows a self-sufficient whole. With the pentad, the monad discovers its ‘name’. The systems in the first column are all starting points. In the number-base of 4, they signify a new cycle or new beginnings. The set of columns then signifies commencement, complimentary and completion. There is a meta-pattern.<sup>3</sup> | + | One striking thing is that Bennett often spoke of the pentad as enabling us to identify the monad: whereas the monad itself is like a collection, the pentad shows a self-sufficient whole.

In Lattice Systems the systems are no longer isolated constructs but form one intricate and possibly dynamic whole." | + | Using Pascal's Triangle, Anthony Blake's **Lattice Systematics**<sup>4</sup> provide "infinite depth and infinite exemplification.
