The “23 Enigma” is the belief that all events are somehow connected to the number 23, given enough ingenuity on the part of the interpreter.

It can be seen in Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea’s Illuminatus! trilogy, Wilson’s Cosmic Trigger I: The Final Secret of the Illuminati - The Law of 23s - The 23 Enigma.

23 is considered to be either lucky, unlucky, sacred to the goddess Eris, sinister or plain strange. Discordians regard this as a corollary of the Law of Fives. As with most numerological claims, the 23 enigma can be viewed as an example of selection and confirmation bias. In interviews, Wilson has acknowledged the self-fulfilling nature of the 23 enigma, implying that the real value of the Laws of Fives and Twenty-threes lies in their demonstration of the mind’s power to perceive truth in nearly anything.

So there’s not everywhere 23, you just want to see it and your mind plays you tricks.
