Determinacy
versus
Indeterminacy
Sir Isaac Newton
1726
Principia
“Actioni contrarium semper et
equalem esse reactionem”
“to every action there is always
opposed an equal and opposite
reaction”
Richard Feynman
“it is impossible to predict which
way a photon will go”
Murray Gell-Mann
“there is no way to predict the
exact moment of disintegration”
Werner Heisenberg
uncertainty principle
“the act of observation itself may
cause apparent randomness at the
subatomic level”
Albert Einstein
“God does not play with dice.”
Cope
“Observation alone cannot
determine indeterminacy.”
Ignorance?
Too complex?
Too patternless?
Too irrelevant?

• The sum of each row results in increasing powers of 2 (i.e., 1, 2, 4, 8,
16, 32, and so on).
• The 45° diagonals represent various number systems. For example,
the first diagonal represents units (1, 1 . . .), the second diagonal, the
natural numbers (1, 2, 3, 4 . . .), the third diagonal, the triangular
numbers (1, 3, 6, 10 . . .), the fourth diagonal, the tetrahedral numbers
(1, 4, 10, 20 . . .), and so on.
• All row numbers—row numbers begin at 0—whose contents are
divisible by that row number are successive prime numbers.
• The count of odd numbers in any row always equates to a power of 2.
• The numbers in the shallow diagonals (from 22.5° upper right to lower
left) add to produce the Fibonacci series (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 . . .),
discussed in chapter 4.
• The powers of 11 beginning with zero produce a compacted Pascal's
triangle (e.g., 110 = 1, 111 = 11, 112 = 121, 113 = 1331, 114 = 14641, and
so on).
• Compressing Pascal's triangle using modulo 2 (remainders after
successive divisions of 2, leading to binary 0s and 1s) reveals the
famous Sierpinski gasket, a fractal-like various-sized triangles, as
shown in figure 7.2, with the zeros (a) and without the zeros (b), the
latter presented to make the graph clearer.
