Number synchronicity puzzle

example, as I happen to check the post, it has exactly 26 views, that number again (if you bother to read my post)

What ?

151515151

keep seeing the same numbers (13,26, 47, 48) every time I look at the clock, or posts, or on the tv, etc

It happens in sz that there are fixations on certain numbers

a partial explanation, at best

What would a full explanation cover?

that’s what I’m trying to figure out. the math of it. possible mathematical explanations for seemingly true paradox of the number synchronicity problem

There would be no mathematical explanation for a perception problem in schizophrenia.

it’s a mathematical effect studied in math journals, I believe.

what happens (if you read the post) is that if you look at two seemingly unrelated metric numbers on a electronic device (computer, " cell phone", the digits are repeated more often than would be predicted by statistics. it’s a paradox

I agree with broken

The perceptual problem is likely solved in that you don’t ‘see’ numbers you’re not fixated on.

not a perceptual problem. unrelated to perceptual issues, psychological issues, or schizophrenia/psychosis (which are two different things, by the way)

Disagree, lol

For it to be studied scientifically there would have to be a known phenomenon of people seeing the same numbers across different devices and locations.

A physical look on it could be a special harmony in the circuits of the device at same numbers.

A frequency thing.

Electromagnetism

If a brain is able to receive it…

Mathematically or in statistics, which is not my strength, a general study could be done on the likelihood of seeing the same numbers. Obviously the more number displaying media a person is exposed to and the numbers being displayed in a smaller range as in days of the month or on a clock and also the numbers being common as in 7 12 48 5 10 etc. rather than being numbers unassociated with anything.

not sure about what you mean. I may be misunderstanding what you said. why would the list of numbers you give be logically more likely to be seen?

In an other tread I wrote about my digital tapedeck counter, very often I took a coincidental look at that and it showed 3 same numbers, mostly 777, a consolidation of coincidence.

The opposite of maths imo

Numbers associated with things would be displayed more than numbers unassociated with anything.
