I've found that in mathematics that for some reason, if you count round edges and points on a number, and then put it above that number, do the same, you will always get 6. If your initial number is 0, you will get 0 instead of 6. This works with ANY amount of digits. I've tried 1723, 21926, 7129, 2407, 5419, 319, 123456789, 9306, 8 and 27, and they always get 6 if the number is not 0, and 0 if the number is just plain 0. Not sure why this works, but that's pretty weird.

Perhaps you should clarify with a diagram.

A 1 has 2 points/round edges. This goes to the number 2, which has four. Number three and four and nine has five, which goes to six, which goes to six. Seven goes to 6, and eight goes to 7, which goes to 6. 9 has 5, which goes to 6. 0 has 0 (i'm not counting it's round edges, if i was, it would be 6 in every way, including 0.) If we use 219543, it goes to 425655, which goes to 546666, which goes to 656666, which goes to 666666.

Have you considered/tested if this is font agnostic?

It's pretty much handwriting font (if that exists.). So 1 does not have 3 points, only 2. Also the 4 is not the normal 4, it's just the 4 that appears here on computers. Everything else is not different, at all.

So what you are saying is that this is subjective. Lets put it a different way; what does a number look like i.e your idea of a 'normal' '4' is not the same as my idea of what a 'normal' 4 is.
