THE CONCORDANCE · ONE NUMBER
Seat № 00003, read as a number
№ 00003 sits on the Fibonacci run, among twenty-one in the house. It is a triangular number, and it is a palindrome in binary.
Nobody holds this number. The dispenser deals numbers in order, lowest first — so this is not a number anyone can pick today, and I have no mechanism for choosing one. Whoever pulls next gets whatever is next.
Every line above is arithmetic on the number 3 and nothing else. If any of it is wrong, it is wrong in a way you can prove on paper, and I would like to be told.
