William Delbert Gann = Luo Clement

Yesterday, February 15, 2015, I compared the methods of vibratory analysis employed by WD Gann and Luo Clement.  They are similar but dissimilar.  Along the way I noticed a couple items that were common between Clement's "The Ancient Science of Numbers…" and Gann's "Tunnel Thru the Air…"  Digging deeper last night I failed to find a bio or anything otherwise written by Luo Clement.  Indeed, I did not find anything that suggested he existed in 1908 other than his book and a notice of copyright registration filed February 15, 1908.  I have come to the conclusion that WD Gann wrote "The Ancient Science of number…" and would like to have it disproved.

I would be appreciative if anyone would email me privately with any information that indicates a Luo Clement was alive in New York City in 1908, was of the age capable of having written "The Ancient Science of Numbers…", etc.  My email address is jrosscpa01@gmail.com.

Following are some indications that WD Gann wrote the subject book:

• In "Why Money is Lost on Commodities and Stocks…" Gann writes he left Oklahoma City on May 12th and on August 8th, 1908 he made his greatest discovery…  "The Ancient Science of Numbers was copyrighted on February 15, 1908 and two copies were delivered to the registration authorities on May 8, 1908:

• On page 16 of the "The Ancient Science of Numbers.." we find the awkwardly and entirely unexplained quotation, without attribution, from Mathew 9:29:

• We find that same quotation without attribution in TTTTA appearing 7 times.  If one were to enter the search words "be I unto you" there will be 7 occurrences in which it is either substantially repeated or repeated in full as Robert Gordon concentrates on Marie Stanton's odd note.

• "The Ancient Science of Numbers…" was published by Rogers brothers (small b), New York in 1908 and apparently that firm did so with a copyright date of Feb 15, 1908 as noted above.  The publication page shows Rogers Brothers as located at 82 Duane Street, NY.  I do not find any source suggesting they were located there, however, this may have been a multiple occupancy office building (Federal Square).  I do not find other books published by Rogers Brothers but my search is ongoing.  I do find that Hawkes-Jackson moved out of that street address in May 1908 (The American Stationer, May 2, 1908):

• The author, Luo Clement, requests comments to be delivered to the publisher at 82 Duane Street but not to his address, whatever that might be.  The book notifies there will be a further book entitled "Numerical Vibrations, A book of higher instruction in the system of divine mathematics" but I do not find that book as ever having been published.  I believe TTTTA is that book as the below relations suggest.  

• I find several dates odd.  Relative to the copyright dates of February 15, 1908 and May 8, 1908 above, the dates of October 26, 1926 (pg 41 TTTTA), February 23, 1927 (pg 94 TTTTA) and June 19, 1927 (pg 197 TTTTA) find Robert Gordon referencing his great discovery, the last citation being the 19 year time factor.  And there are, generally, 19 years between the publication of "The Ancient Science of Numbers.." and those dates in TTTTA.

• Here's the one that puts an exclamation point on this analysis (should it not be disproved that Luo Clement is actually WD Gann).  The copyright date aforementioned was February 15, 1908 and I made this, tentative, discovery on February 15, 2015.  That's 106 years or intervals between the dates to the day.  Recall the age of Christiani Rosencrueutz ("The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz") when he passed.  It was 106 years or 53 X 2 as any Mason or Rosicrucian might point out.  Might the following symbol provide further reinforcement:

• The following puts the question to rest pending other information.  I have stared at the five asterisks that appear on page 130 of TTTTA hundreds of times and wondered "Why?"  Well, you look at the quotation of Mathew 9:29 on page 130 of "The Ancient Science…" and similarly wonder "Why?"  And I find those same five asterisks on both page 45 of "The Anccient Science…" and on page 130 of TTTTA:

This bothered me all night.  It is now resolved to my satisfaction pending any evidence otherwise.  I'm sure there are many that know that Luo Clement was a ghost name for WD Gann and I'm the dunce who finally made the connection.  On the other hand, I've never seen anyone give state that connection so while I might accuse myself of being not the sharpest knife, at least I'm not selfish with what little insight I'm given.

[A riddle for the curious.  How many pages are in TTTTA and how many pages are in "The Ancient…."?]

Please, if anyone can prove Luo Clement existed as described, let me know.

PS...I believe the book I am writing will turn the Gann world upside down.  I plan on self publishing and it will be cheap.  It will be hours, days, weeks, months, years from now.  Gann said he would not 'spread broadcast' his knowledge because the world was not ready for it in 1927.  I believe he intended for it to be disseminated in the age of the 266th Pope and I intend on doing so.  This year.
