Every course grows from a book

The Arithmoí series studies existence as a mathematical construct, with mathematics as its language. Buy a book in print or on Kindle, read it online in the library, open to every reader, hear it read aloud, and study it as a course in the school, with quizzes and moving figures.

Arithmoí Book 1

  • Mathematical Foundations and the Singularity

    Mathematical Foundations and the Singularity

    Volume I, Part 1 of A Study of Mathematical Cohesiveness in Physics and Metaphysics

    By Jason Glowney

    • 8 sections
    • 92 parts
    • 207 figures
    • First edition, 2026

    The model the Arithmoí series puts forward is the Arithmocentric model, which places mathematics at the centre: an old idea, the Pythagoreans' « all is number », taken up with the mathematics of the last two hundred years.

A taste of Book 1

Six of the book's 207 figures, and a few of its sentences.

Arithmoí is a modern-day Pythagorean approach to studying what we can and cannot see around us and within us. We ultimately find that the mind begets body, and the physical universe does not exist without the holographic extension of the singularity.

The mind is much more powerful than any giant particle collider that physicists might build because it transcends the physical states of time and space that these empiricist apparatuses are confined to.
