NUMBER 9: THE SEARCH FOR THE SIGMA CODE

Number 9 tells the story of Enjil, a boy mathematician who is challenged by a spirit to solve the riddle,‘What is the fixed point of the wind?’ As Enjil searches for the answer, the reader is introduced to strange coincidences in a world of numbers that appear to be predescribed in myth, legend and religion across history. The key seems to be the number nine. Enjil’s adventures lead readers to an appreciation of symmetry within asymmetry, classical ideas, and modern impulses. Along the way Balmond redefines arithmetic for the lay person and opens the gateway to further discoveries.
