A hundred and six is twice fifty-three and reduces to seven. It carries no traditional religious symbolism; the older systems passed it over. What can honestly be said of it is structural only, and structure is not lore.
A hundred and six factors as 2 x 53 and carries 4 divisors in all. Summing its proper divisors gives only 56, short of the number itself, which places it among the deficient numbers in the same classical scheme.
Where the Chaldean chart and the Balliett-descended chart assign different values to the same letters, a name totalling one figure in one system need not total the same figure in the other, since the two rest on unrelated letter-value tables rather than on a shared inheritance from any single ancient source.
The whole apparatus of digit-reduction numerology is a twentieth-century invention rather than an inheritance from antiquity. Mrs. L. Dow Balliett published the first systematic version, The Philosophy of Numbers, in 1908, fixing the letter-to-number chart still used today and ruling that eleven and twenty-two must stand as master numbers rather than reduce further; her colleague, the physician Julia Seton, is credited with coining the word numerology itself around 1912.
