Austin looked over his notes and took what the professor had to heart. He decided to think about the other aspect of it, the math side. Well, Six had a lot of numbers that could add into it, so does Eight. On his paper, he wrote down all the addition combinations next to his already written notes.

SPOILER!!: notes
Quote:
6: First born child; creation -5+1, 4+2, 3+3
7: First house; living, or life - 6+1, 5+2, 4+3
8: Second born child; creation...again? - 7+1, 6+2, 5+3, 4+4
9: First grandparent; Elderly - 8+1, 7+2, 6+3, 5+4


With this, Austin tried to find all the ways that they could be combined. He had already covered the human aspect, now for the 'cosmos' aspect, as he called it. He decided to start with six. Five meant marriage, while one meant unity. Maybe the unity of marriages? This leads him back to a child, so he thought he was okay on that one. Four meant Justice, while two meant opinion. Combining those two could mean the opinion on justice? But that didn't make any sense. Adding two threes together meant extra Harmony. So maybe that means there's Harmony between a family that has opinions on how to discipline their first born child.

Seven. He wasn't entirely sure what six was, so he wasn't going to worry about the addition of six and one right now. The next option would be five and two. Five, again, was marriage, while two was opinion. With what he already had, maybe seven was the choice of two married people who want to have a second child. The only thing he could pick up from the next addition of numbers was that seven was both discipline and harmony, which should be good between married people.

Eight. The addition of seven and one, and six and two he disregarded, for he wasn't entirely sure what seven or six was. So he focused on the latter two. Five and three would be the Harmony between two people who are married. While the two fours meant extra Discipline, which he wasn't too sure about. He'd have to check that out later.

Nine. The only one he really could work with was five and four. Which he gathered was something along the lines of marriage and discipline. He wasn't sure what that meant. Maybe discipline in a marriage?

He was starting to get flustered with all of these possibilities, and he wasn't sure what to do. So he wrote down what he could, and waited for the professor to continue.
