Looking behind the symbol: Mythic algebra, numbers, and the illusion of linear sequence

Abstract
This is the fifth in a series of papers on an algebra, derived from mythology, that can model symbolic processes. The most significant difference from traditional mathematics is that multiplication is defined as association. Herein, the assumption of linear sequence in mathematics is examined, and found of limited necessity. Numerical counting is similarly examined, and a basis for numbers is proposed. Using mythic algebra, numbers are deconstructed into a partially non-additive prehistoric origin.
