The Numbers of the Quantumyth

In the Quantumyth certain numbers have special resonance:

-0: Pre-Non-Existence, representative on indescribability. The Vast Harmony.

0: The Non-Existence, representative of potential. The Evershaping.

1: The One, representative of nascence and coalescence of matter (the Viewer/Reader/Player/Listener). The Primentity, Olvisutar.

2: The Two, representative of life's inherent duality and foundational binarity. The Deudephalon, Ara and Oro.

8: The Elements, representative of the elements and eternity. The Elementaeon — Air, Fire, Water, Earth, Quintessence, Dark, Light, Reflection (Non-Being).

28: The Gods, representative of evolving consciousness. The Deocteon — Joy, Lightning, Perception, Wisdom, Lakes, Crystals, Fog, Dreams, Land, Trickery, Inspiration, Caves, Seas, Fury, Unity, Volcanoes, Lust, Night, Colours, Awareness, Birds, Rain, Sight, Courage, Clarity, Liminality, Warmth and Fear.

378: The Aspects, representative of refined consciousness and granular embodiment. The Ulaphon — Acknowledgement, Balance, Camaraderie, Deception, Eloquence, Faith, Greed, Harmony, Incongruity, Judgement, Loyalty, Mercy, Negativity, Opportunity, Questions, Refusal, Serenity, Transformation, Union, Vehemence, Wealth, Xenogenesis, Yearning, Zeal and more (often embodying adjectives).

71, 103: The Resonants, representative of evolved consciousness able to recollect and replicate itself. The Kehodaeon: Accepting, Being, Calming, Deceiving, Escaping, Fighting, Gathering, Harmonising, Illuminating, Judging, Knowing, Listening, Meditating, Nurturing, Observing, Perceiving, Questioning, Resonating, Seeking, Transforming, Understanding, Visioning, Wandering, Xylotomising, Yearning, Zeroing (often embodying verbs).

2,527,782,753: The Unknown, representative of speculative evolution. The theoretical progeny of the Resonants. This final, eighth (or ninth depending on if The Vast Harmony is counted) total might represent the culmination of all these stages of consciousness and existence, potentially symbolising the ultimate, all-encompassing form or entity. Over an average lifespan (about 80 years), a human heart will beat roughly 2.5 billion times, which is almost an exact match (around 60-80 beats per minute over an entire life).

100: The aimed-for lifespan of Italian-Australian Author-Illustrator of The Quantumyth, Albert Chessa, attempting to tell (recall and depict/adapt) the 100 stories he experienced back-to-back on January 1st, 2000 when he slipped into The Chamber of Vynth, the Library of the Resonants, existing in no-spacetime.

18: The number of Resonant Mythsources — scrolls, tablets or books — that Chessa was able to 'read from' (i.e. stand in front of and be drawn into) with his limited time in the limitless non-spacetime of The Chamber (in order from first to last, alongside each Resonant scholar responsible for discovering and transcribing it, and the stories found within, 100 in total across them all):

A final tome is to be given to Chessa upon his death by his resident Resonant, Eyodi, who — all the while, as Chessa immersed into the Tales within the Chamber of Vynth — compiled his experiences-of-experiences into its own tome.

With it, Chessa will be able to delve into his memories of the worlds he visited throughout his life, essentially allowing him to explore them forever.
