Biography
8 typically has notions of the hidden and esoteric, in part because it looks like an infinity symbol on its side (which was lampshaded on The Tick). It doesn't come up much, but expect plenty of mysteries when it does. 8 is also the luckiest of lucky numbers if you are Chinese, so an office on the 8th floor at number 88 8th Avenue, for instance, would be considered to have excellent Feng Shui no matter how the furniture was arranged. 8 is an important number in chemistry, as the outermost valence shell of an atom (which is where almost everything chemical happens) can contain at most 8 electrons; covalent bonds between atoms in molecules allow them to share electrons, so that all manage to count 8 in their outermost shell. Something similar holds in nuclear physics, which is why oxygen (with 8 protons and 8 neutrons) is one of the most stable and therefore common elements. 8 also has both 2 and 4 as factors, so it's convenient for combining pairing of things with quadruplets of things—such as between the parts of Golden Sun, where the 2 halves together have 2 characters representing each of 4 elements. 8 is also an important number in the Shinto religion of Japan. It is said in the creation myth that Izanagi-no-Mikoto and Izanami-no-Mikoto had a group of 8 perfect children who became the islands of Japan. Another instance is in the belief that the kami (deities) represent all things, and are "countless", which in Japanese can be read as "8000000". In computing, bits (a single digit in base 2, or binary) are collected in groups of 8 to form bytes (which can represent a number between 0-255 in base 10; the "normal" number system), and larger units of memory are made up from whole bytes. This is why the 8-bit systems were followed by 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit systems. 24-bits aren't unheard of either: some computer systems had a 24-bit address bus, and 24-bits was the standard for storing a single pixel of an RGB colour (one byte for each colour channelnote ). There's also a trend of Plot Coupons coming in groups of 8 in Video Games; most notably the 8 non-bonus worlds of pretty much every Super Mario Bros. game; as well as Mega Man (Classic)'s 8 Robot Masters. In music, the octave is the fundamental interval, and the 8-foot organ stop is the basic one sounding at its notated pitch.
