Square of the Moon
In numerology, the oldest number patterns occur in the magic square.
The 9-square, known to the ancient Chinese as Lo Shu, was also revered by classical and mediaeval numerologists.
There were seven magic squares, each dedicated to a planet or deity and each associated with particular attributes. The last of the magic squares is the Square of the Moon...
The sum of each line is 369, whose digits are 3 x 1, 3 x 2 and 3 x 3.
The sum of the whole square is 3,321.
The square is centred on 41, the prime number which Ulam discovered reveals the most striking diagonal pattern of primes (Ulam's big doodle).
