A meditation on numbers and levels

It's interesting our relationships with numbers here on the Grid. In the "early" days there was a real self awareness of number of levels created. The level 100 for example, a milestone. (Note the reference to level 2170) ...gridcosm?level=100

Now that we've passed the 19-- mark with all of the subsequent pop-culture/year linkage out of the way, what do we have left? The 1000 and 2000 passed with appropriate fanfare ...gridcosm?level=1000 Although the 2000 level hit the appropriate subverted/ironic gridcosm pitch. ...gridcosm?level=2000

But century levels seem to be decreasing in value, nary a peep when 2100 was taken over by SPAz ...gridcosm?level=2000

SNZ has appropriated century levels for his artistic statements (often involving imagery of TCA and graphic acts of debasement and/or sexual perversion), but that aside, who will care for the once prestiguous century marks?

The use of numbers as images has also fallen by the wayside. It used to be enough to throw out a number and let it spin and get picked up by others. But perhaps we are more sophisticated interpreters now. Perhaps the gridbrain has evolved and the number of the level is irrelevant. What matters is the image, Do0d.
