The chmod command mostly uses a two-dimensional matrix. The first column is user, the next is group and the third is world. One number for each of those. Each of those numbers is built with a 4 for read, a 2 for write and a 1 for execute. So you add those numbers and that's how chmod is put together and then there's the sticky bit.
