A matter of interpretation?

For many months I'd anticipated the later weeks of February, then the days February 21-25, then the two days, February 23 and 24.  And I was wrong.  But that's distinct from WD Gann being wrong.

In considering where I made an error, I cannot dismiss the studies of the acrostic/telestic acronyms and the studies I made of them; "ens," "red," and "two" (highlighted in red in the below insert).  And then their triangulation via the "tao device" on the days February 23 and 24.  I can't dismiss the author of the movie "Knowing" being encoded in TTTTA nor the characters and locations of the movie "San Andreas" being encoded in TTTTA.  There must be a purpose WD Gann identified these things and encoded them into "The Tunnel Thru the Air."  Its simply not random.

I'll offer two additional suggested meanings of the 'conflagration' of the above 3 encoded words that occurred between lines 55 and 60 (1) of TTTTA:

Did anything happen on February 23 and 24?  Yes, the largest California earthquake of the year in Wasco CA on February 23 at 4pm.  It was originally reported as a 4.9 by the USGS but was later downgraded to a 4.8.  At 4.9 it was the co-largest in California of the year-to-date, but negligible, if noticed at all, in San Francisco and Los Angeles.  But was it "day one" of six?  The next to the last paragraph of TTTTA:

Did February 23 mark day 1 of a 7-day period in which the 5th day is today?

Alternately, we have found the acrostic encoded word "Taito," the last letter of which appears on line 60, the same day on which we find February 23, 2016.  "Taito" is highlighted in purple in the first insert above.  If you count upward from the final letter, "o," in Taito you arrive at line 55 which is related to the dates, March 4 and March 5, on the far right side of the spreadsheet.

Taito, as it has been suggested, refers to a province in Tokyo which was the site of the most destructive earthquake in history, the 1923 Great Kanto earthquake.

It might be noticed that the "o" of Taito, appearing on cumulative line 60 and chapter line 22 sums to 82 which is the page of TTTTA that refers to the 266th Pope.  It is where I first questioned whether Mr. Gann was speaking to our generation when, apparently, he, chronologically incorrectly, referred to the election of the 266th Pope in connection with St Malachy's prophecies and "remarkable events."  Now years after I first noticed this seeming purposeful error, I keep coming back to it.

And you might notice that the first letter of "Taito" on cumulative line 55 and chapter line 17 adds to 72 or the pentagonal element of the circle.

Might I have identified the first day of a 6-part period (6 day or 6 2-day periods)?

Obviously, time proves all things.  I haven't lost faith in the things I've seen in connection with this project and will continue to study.
