💡 The Esoteric Interpretation of Genesis The seven "days" of creation in Genesis do not describe the physical formation of the Earth in seven literal days but the seven great stages of cosmic evolution. The first "day" (separation of light from darkness) describes the Saturn stage. The second "day" (separation of waters above from waters below) describes the Sun stage. Each subsequent day corresponds to a further stage of densificatio... From: steiner-GA90a Learn more:

📐 Rank-Nullity Theorem (Dimension Theorem) For an $m \\times n$ matrix $A$ with rank $r$: $\\dim(C(A)) + \\dim(N(A)) = n$, or equivalently, $r + (n - r) = n$. Proof: The rank $r$ equals the number of pivot columns. The nullity (dimension of $N(A)$) equals the number of free variables, which is $n - r$. Thus $r + (n - r) = n$.

📐 Euclid If $p = 2^n - 1$ is prime (Mersenne prime), then $2^{n-1} \\cdot p$ is perfect. Proof: Let $N = 2^{n-1}(2^n - 1)$ where $p = 2^n - 1$ is prime. Sum of divisors of $N$ is $(1 + 2 + \\cdots + 2^{n-1})(1 + p) = (2^n - 1)(2^n)$. $= 2^n(2^n - 1) = 2 \\cdot 2^{n-1}(2^n - 1) = 2N$. Sum of proper divisors = $2N - N = N$, so $N$ is perfect.
