Slowly,
:02:02
daylight crept in
through the bandages

:02:05
and I could see.
:02:08
But something else
had changed inside me.

:02:12
That day
I had my first headache.

:02:18
Jenna, come back here.
:02:22
Max, Max, can I do it?
:02:25
- Jenna.
- What's 322 times 491?

:02:31
158,102. Right?
:02:34
Right!
:02:36
OK, 73 divided by 22?
:02:38
3.318...18...18...
:02:42
..18...18...18...18...
:03:01
12:45.
Restate my assumptions.

:03:04
One: Mathematics
is the language of nature.

:03:11
Two: Everything around us
:03:13
can be represented and
understood through numbers.

:03:19
Three: If you graph the numbers
of any system, patterns emerge.

:03:24
Therefore, there are patterns
everywhere in nature.

:03:30
Evidence:
:03:32
The cycling
of disease epidemics;

:03:35
the wax and wane
of caribou populations;

:03:39
sun spot cycles;
:03:42
the rise and fall of the Nile.
:03:49
So, what about
the stock market?

:03:51
The universe of numbers that
represents the global economy.

:03:54
Millions of hands at work,
billions of minds.

:03:57
A vast network, screaming
with life. An organism.
