Absent either of those extreme conditions, economic calculation cannot be done by knowing only the value of goods of first order and the technical conditions of production of these goods Which raises the third alternative: using the

Four is well known as the only
cardinal number truthful in number of letters per name.
(Following [1], [4]) The cardinal number of a set A is the initial ordinal number a in the class of all sets equipotent to A.
The smallest infinite ordinal number is [omega], which is the cardinal number of the set of natural numbers N.
This ordinal number is also identical to its cardinal power; in the above example the set a had both the ordinal and cardinal number four.
It is no longer the case that every ordinal set can be associated with a unique cardinal number. An infinite number of infinite ordinals share the same cardinality, all of them equivalent to [omega].
Streck demonstrates that gender polarity (chiastic concord) of
cardinal numbers with the nouns numbered has been replaced by gender congruence in the Late Babylonian stage of Akkadian (I [section]29-33; even the tens have a masculine and feminine series).
Here are some new shiftgrams for
cardinal numbers, with the letter-shift value in the center.
Since then, no other transposal material has appeared for the
cardinal numbers TWENTY ONE and upwards.
Seven lists follow:
cardinal numbers, chemical elements, colors, letters of the Greek alphabet, US statenames, days of the week, and planets of the solar system.
