WolframAlpha parsing of the LOST numbers
Pictured: the outcome when WolframAlpha's mighty engine parses LOST's numbers.
If this link
www.wolframalpha.com/input/
does not work then search "WolframAlpha" and at the Wolfram site enter 4 8 15 16 23 42 as a mathematical object. The LOST numbers' Diophantine relation is interesting; I had not realized 4+8-15-16-23+42 = 0.
Probably coincidence, yet given 4+8-15-16-23+42 = 0, I wonder if this might be a hint LOST is a zero-sum game? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-sum
This would seem consistent with both how the characters as a whole seem to be struggling over control of the island as if it is a cake to be cut up and how each character individually seems (imho) to perish the instant his/her dharma balances. Maybe part of the way out, off the wheel such that they are not all trapped in a loop which repeats forever, is to somehow shift the game away from being zero-sum.
