Pythagorean Description:  The Decad, 10, is the greatest of numbers in the
Pythagorean School.  It was the tetractys (10 dots) and comprehended all that
was in arthimatic form.  The Decad represented ending and beginning.  Being a
perfect number, the Decad was applied by Pythagorus and his followers to
those things relating to what is considered the higher realms of thought and
experience:  age, power, faith, necessity and memory.  Those aspects that truly

created through the use of the fingers and thumbs on the hands being the first
calculators.  Man can easily understand the concept of 10, a finishing, to go
back to the beginning to begin again at 1.

beyond could be equated down to a single digit through summing the multiple
digits.
