Just as prime numbers are the building blocks of all natural numbers, Ifa (base 2) is the building block of all bases of natural numbers.
In number theory, prime field is the smallest subfield containing both 0 and 1; whereby, 0 is an even count and 1 is an odd count (I.e. the two legs of Ifa). And upon combining the two legs (0,1), an infinite geometric series would emerge. So, Ifa is an infinite geometric series generator.
We call upon all young Awos, who are ethno-mathematically inclined, to move Ifa from cultural information level to species or technological information level. There is no doubt that Ifa will impact Yoruba civilization significantly if it reaches the level of technological information.
