Huit (8)

In mathematics, a fallen 8 (∞, the lemniscate) represents infinity;
In music, the octave system, represented by notes like C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C, echoes the concept of infinity associated with the number eight.
As the musical scale reaches the eighth note, it cycles back to a higher or lower pitch, symbolizing regeneration and cyclicality.
This interpretation of 8 may be related to the representation of the Caduceus (where two snakes form several figure eights) as stability or balance of opposing forces and the Ouroboros, an ancient symbol depicting a serpent biting its own tail. It represents infinite immortality, continuity, self-fertilization, and eternal return.
