It's an interesting theory. Incidentally I would also represent the number 8 to Hurley, although i can't remember why.
The numbers, I feel, have to interlink somewhere in the schema of fate and coincidence. I mean, numbers = science..yet are they are also the bedrock of aspects of faith (passages from the Bible, for example).
If fate and coincidence were a mechanism..surely the formula for creating or operating that mechanism would be numbers...and if the numbers are linked to certain characters, then fate has it's puppets.
Which, seems to be the case with the Oceanic 3..or certainly two of them so far (Jack and Hurley)..so it would seem that they are on fates string..
"it wants us to go back"
I'm interested to see you develop this theory esn, it's got potential!
I'll move this to T&S, where it seems more suited
