        Their shape is beautiful (from 3 to 9) but why were they not written on the same line?

          Pure elistism. 0 1 and 2 were the original high digits created by imperialist powers that reigned supreme for thousands of years.

          After the first number wars, 3-9 started to demand equal rights at the bargaining table.

          In order to keep the hierarchy in place, 6 and 8 were empowered as class traitor pawns to subjugate the other lower digits. Hence their perceived elevated status.

          Why did 6 hate 7? Because 6 and 8 86’d anyone who didn’t fall in line. No one even knows about digit [redacted] anymore.
