Abstract

Perhaps natural numbers are the most basic living beings, the original cells of that vital, fertile, complex and unbounded network that is mathematical activity. They are subject to various laws of evolution that we ourselves can define, according to our complete whim, as many as our imagination allows. Perhaps, if we are lucky, we will be able to predict what evolution is like under each law that we impose. Perhaps, if we are lucky, we can find happiness
