        Yes, pretty much my view - my conception of the sorcerous otherworld is very much based on medieval occult art. Lots of strange symbolism, etc. Many things might be labelled with their rune etc, but I don't like the Matrix scrolling code image. There does seem to be a more numerical emphasis to the sorcerous than there is to, say, alchemy, but I don't think that manifests as everything numbered, more in everything being in carefully maintained relationships and ratios, with geometric diagrams at some points etc.
