The perfect numbers — six days and a month

6 is the first perfect number — equal to both the sum AND the product of its parts (1+2+3 = 1×2×3), sealed — and the days of creation's work. The second perfect number is 28 (1+2+4+7+14), sealed — a month. Augustine made the argument himself (De Genesi ad litteram IV.7 — attributed): God's works were finished in a number that is itself complete. The physical echoes stand on their own feet: carbon — the atom all flesh is built on — is element 6, and the hexagon is provably the most efficient partition of the plane (Hales' honeycomb theorem): bees, snowflakes, graphene. 666 is the 36th triangular (36·37/2, sealed) — man's number stacking short of seven, an attributed reading. https://narrowhighway.com/s/eecdddd7dd8e2c2831b0e7bff130fbd98691c6b04ba6bdb75fa08f635475c563
