"The natural logarithm is the logarithm to the base e, where e is an irrational and transcendental constant approximately equal to 2.718281828.....
Initially, it might seem that since the common numbering system is base 10, this base would be more "natural" than base e. But mathematically, the number 10 is not particularly significant. Its use culturally—as the basis for many societies’ numbering systems—likely arises from humans’ typical number of fingers. Other cultures have based their counting systems on such choices as 5, 8, 12, 20, and 60."

If I'm looking for a simple number in nature, then shouldn't I be using some variation of the sorts of numbers nature applies?
