It was Axel who first brought the '24'/142 connection to my attention so he would probably be a better person to explain the connection.
Yes. I dealt quite a bit with 24 back in the day, and I'm quite convinced that 142.177 is that same person. He has a certain extremely idiosyncratic cycle of ideas, including: * everything, even the philosophy of mathematics, is somehow tied to ecology. * everything having to do with "ontology", "foundation ontology", "ontological proof" etc. has a strong attraction * Euler's identity is held to have some deep significance for the foundations of mathematics * He likes to link to "cognitive bias", originially created by 24. * "Sacred geometry" is a favorite link target as well. That page was also created by 24.
Maybe the best place to observe all these features is [[folk mathematics]] and its talk page.
To be precise, I believe [[user:24]] is the same as

The guy is extremely fast and productive. There's a lot of cleanup to do.
