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.

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:
- Lightweight
- Stable
- Reactive
- Toxic
- Semiconducting
- Versatile
- Abundant
- Life-giving
