Supermath bridges the numerical nature of Math with the qualitative nature of Qualimath.

The previous section explained that the natural spin or vibration of instances make them easily applicable in geometries.

Each geometry interacts differently with others as it gets a different quality in relation to other qualities.

This manifests most obviously in chemistry as chemical reactions.

Numerically, this is seen in the periodic table of elements.

Elements

For example, we can compare the numeric and qualitative properties of each element:

Name Number Quality
Hydrogen 1 lightweight
Helium 2 stable
Lithium 3 reactive
Beryllium 4 toxic
Boron 5 Semiconducting
Carbon 6 Versatile (Allotropic)
Nitrogen 7 Abundant
Oxygen 8 Life-Giving

This gives a quality for each material number:

  1. Lightweight
  2. Stable
  3. Reactive
  4. Toxic
  5. Semiconducting
  6. Versatile
  7. Abundant
  8. Life-giving
