JAIN MATHEMATICS AND KARMAVAD/163
karmas are inhibiting, next three are inductive and the remaining three are deterministic. Of these, the deluding and inheriting karmas are of special interest from mathematical point of view.
While the composition of karmic bodies may be a subject of chemistry as it involves the micro particle forces of attraction and repulsion, their behaviour, actions and attributions are more a subject of mathematics. Karmic bodies are in fact take shape of database similar to those stored in a computer's hard disk. These databases then can be subjected to algebra, matrices, topology etc. These mathematical analyses can help in decoding the entire matrix and will enable us to simulate the models by the group analysis of the databases.
Through the mathematical study of karma, the perdictions and probabilities could be known about the (events) of the past and future. Just as diseases are traced through genes, similarly there is a great possibility that the mathematical study of karma will be useful.
