Lenny Meyer :
Am I bothering you?
I'm sorry, I'll put it out.

You Damn Fool - 

The Presence of God 

is in The Smoke
 

Name's Lenny Meyer.
And you are?


SuperMax :
Max.

Lenny Meyer :
Is that Max? Max...?

SuperMax :
Max Cohen.

So, Max does not know it, 

but he is a High Priest

Probably worth a Google.

 
Lenny Meyer :
Cohen! Jewish.
It's OK. I'm a Jew too.
Do you practise?

SuperMax :
....No. I'm not 

interested in 

religion.

Lenny Meyer :
Did you ever hear 

of Kabbalah?

SuperMax :
No.

Lenny Meyer :
Jewish mysticism.

SuperMax :
Look, I'm busy right here.

Lenny Meyer :
I understand --
But right now is a very exciting 

moment in Our History.

Right now is a critical 

moment in Time.

SuperMax :
Really?

Lenny Meyer :
Yeah. It's very exciting.
Have you ever put on Tefillin?
You know Tefillin?

Yeah, I know, it looks strange.
It's an amazing Tradition.

It has a tremendous Power. 

It's a mitzvah Jewish men should do.
Mitzvahs, good deeds.
They purify us.
Bring us closer to God.
Wanna try it?

SuperMax :
Shit.

Lenny Meyer :
You all right, Max?

Sol 

(which mean 'Sun' and 

is short for 'Solomon') :

It's been a month. 

You haven't taken a single break.

I'm so close.

Sol 

(which mean 'Sun' and 

is short for 'Solomon') :

Have you met the new fish 

my niece bought me?

Fish = Jesus  

'Christ is a Meta-Fish' - Jordan Peterson

I named her Icarus after you,  

my renegade pupil.

You fly too high, you'll get burnt.

I look at you, I see myself 

30 years ago :

My Greatest pupil.

Published at 16, PhD at 20.

But Life isn't just mathematics, Max.

I spent 40 years searching 

for patterns in Pi.

I found nothing.

 SuperMax :

You found things.

Sol 

(which mean 'Sun' and 

is short for 'Solomon') :

I found things... 

but not a pattern.

Not a pattern.

SuperMax :

11:22 Personal Note :

Sol died a little when he stopped 

research on Pi.

It wasn't just the stroke 

He stopped caring.

How could he stop, 

when he was so close to seeing Pi 

for what it really is?

How could you stop believing 

that there is a pattern, an ordered shape behind those numbers, when you were so close?

We see The Simplicity of The Circle, 

we see the maddening complexity 

of the endless numbers -

3.14 off into infinity.

Are the stars out tonight?

I don't mind

if they're cloudy or bright

For I only have eyes

For you, dear

I don't mind

if we're in a...

Lenny Meyer :

Hey, Max. Lenny Meyer.

I'll put it out.

So... What do you do?

SuperMax :

I work with computers. Math.

Lenny Meyer :

Math? What kind of math?

SuperMax :

Number Theory. 

Research mostly.

Lenny Meyer :

No way. I work with numbers myself.

I mean, not traditional.

I work with The Torah. Amazing!

Hebrew is all math.

It's all numbers.

You know that? Look. 

Ancient Jews used Hebrew 

as their numerical system.

Each letter is a number.

The Hebrew A, Aleph, is 1 .

B, Bet, is 2.

Understand? 

But look - The Numbers 

are interrelated.

Take the Hebrew for Father, ab.

Aleph, Bet.

The word for Mother, haim.

Aleph, Mem.

The sum of 3 and 41, 44.

Right? 

Now, the Hebrew word for Child - 

Mother, Father, Child.

Yelev.

That's 10, 30 and 4.

Torah is just a long string of numbers.

Some say that it's A Code, 

sent to us from God.

SuperMax :

That's kind of interesting.

Lenny Meyer :

That's kid's stuff, check this out.

The Garden of Eden, Kadem.

Numerical translation, 144.

The value of Tree of Knowledge, 

in The Garden. Right?

Aat ha haim. 

2, 33, 144,  233.

You can take those numbers...

 SuperMax :

Those are Fibonacci numbers.

Lenny Meyer :

They're...?

SuperMax :

You know, like 

The Fibonacci sequence?

 Lenny Meyer :

Fibonacci?

 SuperMax :

[ Leonardo ] Fibonacci is an ltalian 

mathematician in the 13th. Century

If you divide 144 into 233, 

the result approaches Theta.

Lenny Meyer :

Theta?

SuperMax :

Theta -- The Greek symbol for 

The Golden Ratio, 

The Golden Spiral.

Lenny Meyer :

Wow. I never saw that before.

That's like that series 

you find in Nature?

Like The Face of 

a Sunflower?

SuperMax :

Wherever there are spirals.

 Lenny Meyer :

See, there's Math everywhere.

Hey, I... Max?

13:26. 

Restate My Assumptions.

One : 
Mathematics is 

The Language of Nature.

Two : 
Everything around us can be 

represented and understood 

through numbers.

Three : 
If you graph The Numbers 

of any System,
patterns emerge.
 
Therefore, there are patterns 

everywhere in Nature.

So what about the stock market?

A universe of numbers that
represents the global economy.

Millions of human hands at Work, 
billions of minds.

A vast network screaming with Life. 

An Organism.
A natural Organism.

My Hypothesis : 
Within the stock market, there is a pattern,
right in front of me, playing with the numbers.

Always has been.
