Ordinal-Linguistic Personification is a form of Synesthesia in which sequences such as ordered numbers, calendar days, and letters are associated with very specific personalities.

Often comorbid with Grapheme Synesthesia, OLP is also consistent over extensive periods of time.

Research has yet to determine a definitive cause for this form of Synesthesia, though most hypotheses claim it is due to the cross-wiring of angular gyrus (processes ordinal sequences) and adjacent areas in the supramarginal gyrus.
