Similarities between numbers

[SBTlauien]

Are there any programs that will let me enter in a bunch of sets of numbers, in order, and then give me some type of mathematical algorithm that sets the numbers?  Or maybe enter in the numbers, along with another number for each number(in sets of two), and then the program finds out how the two numbers are related.

Some type of "code solving" program.

What kind of links are you looking for between numbers? Also what kind of numbers/number sets are you using?

You should be able to make a relatively simple program for this project but you would need to know the exact algorithm you want to run.

Really, anything.  In fact, there may not even be a similarity.  I'll post some when I'm on my PC.

Right here are some.  The number that gradually increases in on top, and the number I want is below it.  How can I find out what the 6th one would be?

Do the numbers mean anything? Does finding an approximate relationship help at all? It seems like you could find an approximate correlation function by genetically composing some basic set of arithmetic operations. There's probably some actual literature on this out there somewhere.

I believe so, and yes.  The first number is the one that I can get.  I can get the second number in most cases, but I want to find out how it's generated(if it's even generated using the first number.  I believe so).

I know the first numbers are in order, as you can see.  It's the second number that I'm interested in.  I think there's some special hash that uses the first number, to find the second number.

However, there may not be a relationship between the first number and second number.  In this case, I still want to find out how to calculate out the next number.

One thing that stands out is that they all start with 11.  That must mean something.  They also all have the same amount of digits.  They are all positive as well.

I had thought that there was a program that could solve this.  I wouldn't know where to begin if I wrote my own.  It would have to be set up to try different algorithms rapidly.

Maybe thier just serial numbers though...

Why did you edit your post Lanny?

[Lanny]

I realized I presorted the numbers so there actually was no monotonicity in the second set of numbers so my whole post was pretty dumb.

graphing them would probably be your best bet

if you're looking at numbers that are generated via complex algorithms though, and trying to abstract said algorithms... that's probably for someone who passed 4-unit maths. I don't think there's a simple answer, as there's no algorithm to absolutely determine a relationship between two numbers... you'd probably have to run trial and error with a lot of different algorithms.

i have been thinkin alot about numbers recently and how they can reflect a glimpse realities thru higher dimensions

Care to elaborate?
