Equivalence-RG traveled 18K east to west and 18K north/south (absolute miles traveled, not net) or an equivalence and he did it in 6 solar days New York time but 5 solar days (because he traveled with the rotation of the earth and saw the sun rise only 5 times). Notably, the earth's circumference is 18K miles at the latitude of RG's east/west path (roughly between NYC and Montreal or roughly the 41st parallel). Mr. Gann contrived RG's 7 days to demonstrated an equivalence of east/west miles (time) and north/south miles (space).
Morphing space and time - Considering the "crow flies" mileage of RG's trip which is 34K miles, the trip might be considered as measuring an isosceles triangle with two sides of 18K and one of 34K. But north/south miles (absolute) have been measured from approximately the 41st latitude which is not where we measure time. We measure time at the equator and the 24901 mile circumference of the earth. If we measured RG's north/south distance traveled from the equator, the distance would have been 47K miles, not 18K miles. A triangle with sides of 18K, 34K and 47K miles is a near straight line and, well, meaningless. But when you apply a factor I believe given by Mr. Gann, 1.666 to the 47K miles you get sides of 18K, 34K and 29K (47 / 1.666) miles. And you have a Pythagorean right triangle in lieu of an isosceles triangle. Mr. Gann's contrivance demonstrates meaning (the shape of the triangle) is altered by the reference of the measurement (41st parallel versus the equator) and an important factor.
An important factor, 1.666 - In my opinion, Mr. Gann gives us the factor on pages 400 and 401 of TTTTA in the number 60 and 100. It is 100 / 60 = 1.666 or its inverse, .60.
Properties of the WD Gann Memorial Triangle - The GMT might be considered an example of how the above clues and concepts are used to prove out time and space. The GMT gives us a set of simultaneous measurements of time and space, first in the 3 points of the triangle and then the added point of the World Trade Center. Together, the measurements are:
Not only do we have simultaneous measurements of time and space, we have historic events associated with each of the 3 points; A - the dedication of the Statue of Liberty in 1886, B - the 1932 fictional battles and end of the Great War in TTTTA, C - the 1955 interment of WD Gann and d- the 9/11/01 WTC attack.
Time is circular, space is angular - The GMT's distance measurements present a right triangle having sides that are an exponential progression and time measurements cannot form a triangle but present a line that forms a circle intersecting the 3 greater points.
That's the setup of clues and facts. Now, can we move a step closer in demonstrating time and space are woven in fabric of "number?" I believe we can take a step.
The "outer time circle" defined by the intervals of A to B, B to C and A to C is 138 years and those points define the "trine" divisions of the circle of 60, 120 and 240 degrees (a sum of 360 degrees). The "inner time circle" defined by A to d, B to d and C to d define the pentagonal multiples of 36 degrees or 72, 108 and 180 degrees (360 degrees). A table is worth a 1000 words:
And there it is.... the supposed outer circle formed by the intervals of 23, 46 and 69 form the trine of the circle; division according to 60 degrees. And the supposed inner circle formed by the intervals of the 3 primary points and the 4th WTC point form a circle divided by the pentagonal element of 36 degrees.
But there's one more dramatic element. The supposed inner circle of 138 years in circumference grew to 230 years in the supposed inner circle. That's a "growth" of 1.666, the same number that divided the isosceles triangle of RG's 7 days and the alternate measurement from the equator. The number derived from the 60 and 100 on pages 400 and 401.
It gets better. The above is time changing by constant 1.666. What about space (distance)?
The relation perimeter of the triangles is the inverse of the constant that defines the changing of the time periods between the outer and inner circles.
Our small step is this. The GMT indicates time and space are inversions according to a number. In the GMT, the number is 1.666 or its inverse which is .600. And equivalence. Where in RGs 7 days there was an equivalence of time and distance, in the GMT time and space invert by the same constant. Does this suggest that, similar to the law of the conservation of matter and energy, there is a law of the conservation of time and space? I think so.
Is all of the above coincidence or an ingenious contrivance of the genius of WD Gann? I believe Mr. Gann had his hand in it but the final issue of this series will address that question. For now, the expert in randomness will have a hard time dismissing it all according his laws of nothingness.

Jim,
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely riveted.
Fantastic, simply fantastic....
also on a lowbrow, sidenote, 1.66666 is 5/3 aka a low level Fibonacci ratio that growth and decay spirals have been known to use as their actionable multiplier.
Keep up the truly inspiring work. I can't get enough of this recent roll you have been on
Thank you, I started 3 more essays this morning so that the correlations I imagined in idle hours would not be lost waiting for time to investigate them. As well, the part 3 of 3 is very exciting to me. I hope to be able to complete it in the next day or two.
