36 numbered chapters, 37 if you include the 72 line Foreword, and 39 subdivisions if you include the 34 line, 4-page cover/ publisher pages/ dedication pages, and the vacant pages and back flap which is a noteworthy 37 lines. Note that mis-numbered Chapter XXXIX meaningfully gives us the total subdivisions of the book suggested here.
In total, 432 pages is the number I like to refer to as Gann's philosopher's stone number and has Biblical derivation from The Book of Luke and elsewhere. Paired with John Dee's philosopher's stone number, 252 (see Jim Egan's book "The Meaning of the Monas Hieroglyphica With Regards to Geometry) you can reduce 432 / 252 to the Biblical 12 /7.
The numbers of pages can be proven via two markers within the telestic coding of TTTTA, "phi" and "007:"
The acrostic"Phi" and telestic "007 appear on only those exact pages of TTTTA and do not appear anywhere else. Phi is near contiguous with the telestic "dee" representing John Dee. And "007," which was John Dee's secret signature in his personal and coded correspondence with Queen Elizabeth I, similarly represents John Dee. It should be noted that "007" is the 23rd telestic representing John Dee out of 46. It is perfectly half way in the sequence of the total 46 representations. Futhermore, the midpoint of "007" is found on the 7579th line of the entire book. 7579 X 2 = 15158 which happens to be the number of lines in the 36 chapters (i.e. excluding the cover subdivision, Foreword subdivision and back flap subdivision), suggesting the line numeration is correct.
The page number proof is this. "Phi" appears on the 120th numbered page and adding 10 pages from the cover to the last page of the Foreword, you find "Phi" appears on the 130th page of the book. Similarly, "007" appears on the 208th page of the book.
208 / 130 = 1.600
which is Phi according the the 6th and 5th numbers of the Fibonacci sequence
Suffice for the moment, the page structure is proven as perfected according to the above device. There remains a final proof of line number perfection which I am pondering to prove the mathematic perfection of the line numbers as I've assigned them to TTTTA. I will post it when I am reasonably satisfied the line numbering is correct. For now, the page numbering appears to be mathematically correct as I believe Mr. Gann intended us to interpret.
I think this proof of, at least the page numbers, puts to rest any argument that Mr. Gann did not create a meaningful structure of pages and line numbers within TTTTA. Understanding the meaning of the page and line number structure as further encoded in TTTTA is another matter entirely.
[You may notice other numbers on the last of the two excerpts; they have not gone unnoticed here.]
