No, I just had the idea of hiding the phrase, "it is a privilege to live this day and tomorrow," in what looked like a burnt fragment of an arcane mathematical document. The numbers are just a random string of numbers, letters and symbols that I made up as I sketched out the layout of the painting. (Down in the lower left, I added the phrase, Potius sero quam nunquam which is Latin for, roughly, Better Late than Never; but did not highlight those letters in yellow because I wanted the first phrase to jump out).
