R.B.Fuller coined the term indig (meaning integrated digits) as a shorthand for what is known in mathematics as 'casting out nines'. It is simply the reduction of multiple digits to a single digit through addition, e.g. the number 1534 becomes 1+5+3+4 = 13, 1+3 =4.(1534 indig = 4) Notice that when you start adding large figures you can disregard (or cast out) nines each time nine is reached in the sum, once nine is disregarded the remaining digits add to the correct sum, allowing us to quickly reduce numbers to indig value much more quickly.
Try getting the indig value of 453671152 by adding each number together until a single digit is reached, then try it again, but this time simply ignore numbers which add to nine and then add the remanding digits. Casting out nines is sometimes used to check arithmetic quickly, here are some quick examples of how casting out nines works in addition and multiplication. Notice that when a number is multiplied by a figure with an indig value of nine, then the resulting figure will always add to nine.
Addition Multiplication
Indig Indig Indig Indig
34 = 7 22 = 4 32 = 5 234 = 9
+66 = 3(12) +77 = 5(14) x12 = x 3 x645 = x 6
100 = 1 99 = 9 384 = 6(15) 150930 = 54
The most significant thing to remember from this is the correlation between the behavior of zero and nine. When we look at the word nine in different languages the similarity starts to become a bit clearer (e.g. 'nine' sounds like 'none' and to similar words in different languages like 'nein').

Through this method of reducing digits to indig values reveals some key characteristics of numbers which would not usually be apparent. An example of this is with the number nine, when we notice that nine and zero represent the same thing you can see that when a complete 'cycle' in the number continuum is reached, the number always reduces to nine. This is because nine and zero are both the start and the end of our numeric language (baseten) and are therefore representations of completion or unity.
Some straight forward cyclic numbers include:
One rotation 360° 9
Two rotations 720° 9
These are simple representations of cyclic unity (complete rotations), with that in mind you can see why zero is represented as a circle and why other significant cyclic numbers can be shown to fall in this zero-nine zone. In my view, the reason why the number nine is so often referred to as a divine or holy number is not just because it is the 'highest' of the base digits, but because, just like the zero, it is a representation of unity and completion. Here is a small selection of numbers which are usually considered uniquely significant for one reason or the other, but by reducing to their indig value you can get an idea of how they could be a description of the same thing.

Because we are 'casting out nines' to find these indig values, we can use 0 instead of 9 in the rest of our number reductions. Looking at multiplication tables through the indig method reveals symmetrical repeating patterns and if we take a look at second and third powering progression rates and apply indig reduction, it's not surprising that repeating patterns emerge.

Second powering (squaring) is a numeric progression rate which describes surface area growth, while third powering (or cubing) is a description of something that is growing at a volumetric rate. For this reason, the pattern which emerges from third powering (1,8 and 0) has significance for further on in this article.
