The mysterious No. 7

La abstraction(is very important know this concept). The introduction of a numbering system carries a strong process of abstraction, to the point that many experts believe that, along with learning the language, is one of the greatest mental effort a human being throughout his life. When we say, 3, we can refer both three sheep, three stones, three houses, three trees or three we wanted. If we were to use different words to number each of the objects to which we refer, agricultural livestock society (this is where the system starts counting), he would have collapsed in its infancy. 3 is an abstract concept, a pure mental image to subsist as such in a social group requires only a word and a sign as communication vehicles.

We must also remember what everyday language also entails extraction processes isolation. When we are young learn forfirst time the word chair, we often refer to this object to sit, but gradually evolve and link the chair and then a sofa chair one bank etc. In this order of things no one should doubt that the evolutionary process in terms of intelligent species is concerned, it is inexorably linked to progressive increase in its capacity for abstraction.

As the numbers indicate, we can deduce that all numbers are natural but there are differences among them how many times we think of numbers as even or odd pairs are those that can be divided by various numbers, the odd can be divided between the unit and itself, these are prime numbers, 7 is a prime number, the two care while being pair has no other splitters, which by itself and by the unit other prime numbers is 3, 5, 11, 13 17 etc, so we could be to infinity.

In a way I wanted say with this historic vericueto of mathematical numbers, what it is a human evolutionary question, the man has had to use a mathematical system for their livelihood, qualify, develop and direct for practical use.

Other variations from this, is the metaphysical or spiritual, area also needed to man. but here and there to distort, change, adapt, shape, in abstract, ambiguous and undefined concepts, No. 7, like so many other numbers, it is used in many different ways.
