23 enigma solved.
LMNO:
What I find amusing is that the Law of Fives was essentially disproven as it was being written. PD, page 16 -- Omar: "I find the Law of Fives to be more and more manifest the harder I look."
Xooxe:
Damn, even that shitty film of the same double digit number came to that conclusion.

I think that was intentional. It doesn't disprove the Law, it exemplifies the Law. ;-)
LMNO:
Of course it was intentional. There's that "unwritten" part of the law that was explained in Illuminatus!.
--- Quote from: RAW the Hack ---But you have to understand it more deeply now, Joe. Correctly formulated, the Law is: All phenomena are directly or indirectly related to the number five, and this relationship can always be demonstrated, given enough ingenuity on the part of the demonstrator." The evil grin flashed. "That's the very model of what a true scientific law must always be: a statement about how the human mind relates to the cosmos. We can never make a statement about the cosmos itself— but only about how our senses (or our instruments) detect it, and about how our codes and languages symbolize it."

The OP said that the 23 enigma was merely the ability of the human mind to find patterns. That isn't really an enigma, as the Law of Fives clearly states just that.
