I can say definitively I don't think we've even scratched the surface of The One (nor will we ever, I suspect).
I'm no mathematician, by any stretch, but I like the idea of the immanence of 1: if you multiply any number by it, you get that selfsame number, never 1. And yet 2 is 1 + 1, and 3 is 1 + 1 + 1, and seven million is 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 (you get it)... It's it that model where I glimpse a sense of both the immanence and transcendence of The One—non-dual, as is were—which is in every thing, but when one looks at a particular thing, we only regard that thing, and can only get a sense of the primordial unity via noetic contemplation.
I have not dug into Pythagoreanism enough, and will take that reference as a recommendation...
