In Japan, at the end of the year, a bell is chimed 108 times in Buddhist temples to finish the old year and welcome the new one. Each ring represents one of 108 earthly temptations (Bonnō) a person must overcome to achieve nirvana.

No.

Logistic function - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org

The logistic function is closely related to the exponential function. The first half of a logistical curve appears virtually identical to an exponential curve at first glance, but it's only after reaching the inflection point that the difference becomes clear. Unlike exponential functions (which are unbounded), models using logistic functions acknowledge that there are inherent limiting factors to growth (e.g. resources/competition limit the otherwise exponential effects of population growth).
