The Aryans logo & the power of six
All those who have seen the Aryans logo, must have noticed that the logo has two wings with six partitions in between. the question is why this as a logo, what is its relevance and what is its purport?
The logo starts with the Aryan's love, respect and admiration for the number six. Six is the smallest perfect number. Being perfect six is the root of the 6-aliquot tree, and is itself the aliquot sum of only one number; the square number, 25. Unrelated to 6 being a perfect number, even more it is a Golomb ruler of length 6 is a "perfect ruler."
Six is the first discrete biprime (2.3) and the first member of the (2.q) discrete biprime family.
Six is the only number that is both the sum and the product of three consecutive positive numbers.[2]
Six is a unitary perfect number, a harmonic divisor number and a highly composite number. The next highly composite number is 12.The smallest non-abelian group is the symmetric group S3 which has 3! = 6 elements.
S6, with 720 elements, is the only finite symmetric group which has an outer automorphism. This automorphism allows us to construct a number of exceptional mathematical objects such as the S(5,6,12) Steiner system, the projective plane of order 4 and the Hoffman-Singleton graph. A closely related result is the following theorem: 6 is the only natural number n for which there is a construction of n isomorphic objects on an n-set A, invariant under all permutations of A, but not naturally in 1-1 correspondence with the elements of A.
In all there is thus, the number six lays precedence. For for the glory of al us indians, the number six has a history which is far greater than even that of zero. Cause it is us who wrote the first six, the old Brahmins of India, who wrote it in one stroke like a cursive lowercase e rotated 45 degrees clockwise. Gradually, the upper part of the stroke (above the central squiggle) became more curved, while the lower part of the stroke (below the central squiggle) became straighter. The Ghubar Arabs dropped the part of the stroke below the squiggle. From there, the European evolution to our modern 6 was very straightforward, aside from a flirtation with a glyph that looked more like an uppercase G.
