Hebrew:
The twelve "simple" letters created the twelve signs of the zodiac, whose relation to the earth is always simple or stable

144,000.
This perfect number is represented by the people of God
and the height of the walls of the New Jerusalem. It is 12 x 12 x 1000.
Twelve is a higher octave of the number three.
Twelve is significant in ancient man’s life because there were twelve tribes in Israel,
twelve disciples followed Jesus,
there are twelve astrological signs in the zodiac,
there are twelve months in the year,
and our modern clock is divided into two groups of twelve hours.
It is considered to be the ancient number of completion as it signals the end of childhood
and the beginning stages of adulthood.
Additionally, the ancient numbering and measuring systems are based on this number,
as evidenced by terms such as a dozen (12), a gross (12 times 12), a shilling (12 pence) and a foot (12 inches).

The twelve animals of the Chinese horoscope: the Rat, the Ox, the Tiger, the Cat, the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse, the Goat, the Monkey, the Cock, the Dog and the Pig.
The twelve lunar years in the Chinese lunar calendar forming the complete cycle which lasts sixty years.
The twelve names of the Sun in Sanskrit, which are pronounced such as the mantras.
In the Japanese cosmology, the Creator is sat on twelve sacred cushions (Universes, each with 12 Solar systems).

RULERBOW Consider the divergent series...
The sum of all natural numbers, the sum of all states, all energies, etc...
12series.gif, 3.7kB
If I can use an "exploding" analogy;
Just as a massive sun explodes, and there is a supernova, a "CORE" of a Neutron star, or "core" of a black hole can be the stable remnant. Likewise, in this quickly divergent mathematical series, here with s=-1, the answer is a finite -1/12 at infinity. Here, time does not exist, and there is no "stepping". -1/12 is the result of a time conclusion. A static instance in mathematics, and a singularity in physics. In both, the intrinsic dynamics have stopped. I know of no corollary in consciousness or computational programming. "Infinity" can ONLY be ANALYTICALLY continued.
Present day mathematics have no way to express directionality of time, or entropy. (However chemistry equations and reactions do with the arrow.) Euler used "zeta" but it is the same equation:

The sum of "everything" is a "12". If the sum of something can be considered a group; it is a 12. If a group is "possessed", or has properties of more than the parts, then the number is 12. For the number to be assigned, or designated to a physical thing, it must come from the absence of time and consciousness. The mathematics of the above equations yield a profound answer: -1/12.

But a number, representing something, is not born out of ordinary reality. I need to go back later, and show this to be true of all other special numbers; not just 12. First, equations must be ITERATED in time format: like a series. Here directionality is strictly enforced. Then iteration forms can be manipulated; subtracted or added.

Perhaps there should be two equal signs: One conventional, signifying equivalency and operation in either direction. The other, a computational operation that is directional. In the real world, there are constants that transcend entropy and time. At times, these constants in context seem strangely out of place in ordinary mathematics. They have such a strange origin. The number 12 can be one.
