Digital Root

Number Theory

The digital root of a natural number in a given radix is the value obtained by repeatedly summing its digits until a single digit remains. For example, in base ten the digital root of 12345 is 6, because 1 plus 2 plus 3 plus 4 plus 5 equals 15, and 1 plus 5 equals 6. In base ten this is equivalent to the remainder on division by 9, which is why the digital root can be used as a divisibility rule.

Is Kind Of Object

Functions, Concepts

Entity-backed identity for the object-kind enum value this mathematical object already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The object-kind fact itself stays on the object unchanged.
