[edit] Comments
I don't understand the relationship of the graphic to the text. This entire article is confusing. Adam_sk 06:26, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Dubious
Yes this is confusing. The decad is the number ten, which to my knowledge was indeed considered a "number" by the Pythagoreans (one of the natural numbers). The graphic is a geometric diagram devised by some author called Hemenway, whose book I haven't seen, but seems to be using Pythagoreanism as a launching board for his own mystical innovations. There are a whole series of articles that seem to have been created by the same person, and are all labouring under the same mistake, assuming that these are symbols of numbers rather than the numbers themselves, and that these "symbols" are one and the same with the geometric diagrams that Hemenway has devised. See Talk:Pentad for further discussion. Fuzzypeg talk 00:08, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
