ENS 3: If you wanted to prove foresight...

We know what the "experts" do.  They tell you they can and sell you a newsletter or course.  Do they let you follow them around the NYSE trading floor (as if much trading actually occurs "on the floor" these days) and "audit" you in real time?

No, I'm aware of only WD Gann who did that in real time and as documented in "The Ticker Interview."  And he was successful, entering 286 trades in 25 trading days incurring a mere 22 losses.  Statistically, that is not possible.  I'll raise the stakes.  I believe, had he thought it prudent, he would have not incurred those losses...but that's me.  Why?  Read the preface to "The Magic Word" penned by Renato P. Alghini a noteworthy 37 years ago in October 1979:

Again, why?  Because a 100% win ratio would have been, personally, dangerous.

If, as Mr. Alghini offers, you want your achievement known, you bury the "treasure" on the "isle of long ago" to reprise yesterday's essay and Benjamin F. Taylor's "Isle of Long Ago" that appears on page 164 of Mr. Gann's "The Tunnel Thru the Air:"

Mr. Gann's motivation for buying his treasures in TTTTA, if he did, may have had a bit of pride in it. But, in my opinion, there is a far greater reason.  But that's for another essay at another time.

First we have to prove he did have the ability of foresight and then how.  Did Mr. Gann bury a 100% record in his "Isle of Long Ago," TTTTA?

I've gone a long way to proving foresight; dozens of instances beginning with 6th and 7th prophecies.  Because of my errors along the way, Mr. Gann's record appears less than what it might be.  Let's remedy the mistakes of the researcher by performing an objective test.  Either it works or it does not.

The test will follow this logic.  If I wanted to prove foresight to a later generation (because I would fear for my safety with that "100% win rate), I would bury a series of predictions to be discovered later.  If I really wanted to show off, I might predict the person who would uncover these 'treasures,' the date on which the realization would occur and the street on which he lives (the 7th Prophecy).  To tip everyone off, I might predict the greatest disaster of that later age with clues like a misspelled "Mammouth Building" in New York City that is 110-stories (the 6th Prophecy).  That's if I were smart like Mr. Gann.  The best I can do is to follow the bread crumbs.  And the trail of crumbs that has most attracted me in the recent weeks has been earthquakes.

Specifically, I'd bury a list of the greatest earthquakes of the MOT (WD Gann "Map of time") period of 168 years in that Isle of Long Ago...the now obscure book, TTTTA.

A first hint along the way is the telestically encoded acronym, "ens."  I located this abbreviation of the USGS "Earthquake Warning System" upon having haphazardly searched "Tokyo-J1," TTTTA's fictional Japanese mother ship.  And I found a Japanese radio station, the "J1," web page that provided Japan's earthquake warning system.  Similarly, the USGS has its "Earthquake Warning System" or "ENS."

Researching the telestic encodings of 'ens' in TTTTA I find exactly 21 instances.  I find zig zags and inverted spelling ("she"), etc, but exactly 21 instances of vertically aligned 'ens' such as this one:

The line numbers of all instances of "ens" is:

Through many excited tests, I've found that the dates on which "ens" markers occur do not correlate with earthquakes on that exact date.  Failure?  Yes and maybe not.

Back to the test.  What are the greatest earthquakes of the present MOT period; 168 years spanning from June 22, 1848 to June 21, 2016?  I'm going to interpret that as "deadliest."  If nothing else, Wikipedia provides good lists so I found the list of the 52 deadliest earthquakes known.  From it, I extracted every earthquake that has occurred after June 22, 1848.

Guess what?  Of the list of all-time (recorded time that is) deadliest earthquakes there are exactly 21 earthquakes on that list:

21 instances of "ens" and the 21 deadliest earthquakes in history since beginning of the present MOT.  Coincidence?

[NOTE 4/21/2016.  The above extraction of the 52 largest earthquakes is incorrect.  For earthquakes that were pre 1900, the dates may be wrong.  Excel does not interpret dates below 1/1/1900.  For example, the 342 Antioch earthquake occurred in 342 AD but Excel interprets the 342 as December 7, 1900.  Consequently, the 'serendipity' of 21 occurrences of 'ens' and 21 earthquakes is illusory.  There may be other defects in this essay as I continue to study each earthquake.] 

Did Mr. Gann bury his 100% win rate here?  Take the first item on the list, the July 28, 1976 Tangshan earthquake.

Interesting.  You can spell "Tangshan" using the acrostic/telestic letters that are highlight in green.

Take the most recent earthquake on the list, the 5th most dangerous earthquake, the January 12, 2010 Haiti earthquake and tsunami:

Again, you can spell "Haiti" using only the telestic letters (disregard my last name appearing in zig-zag, highlighted there for another ongoing project).

But theres' more.  In the Tangshan example, there are exactly 4 acrostics and 4 telestics arranged in an apparent symmetrical configuration on either side of the date.  

And there's more with Haiti as well.  All the letters are acrostic letters and symmetrically arranged as well.  The top most letter, 'T,' is exactly 16 lines from the line on which the date appears.  The bottom most letter 'i' is exactly 16 lines from the line on which the date appears.

That symmetry...it point to an exact day, does it not?  A prediction to the day?  [I think there are some nuances to how he was forced to arrange the symmetry and maintain a good narrative.  Haiti is off 2 lines from perfectly symmetric but the "T" appears on the exact line the earthquake occurred.]

That's 2 out of 21, leaving 19 earthquakes yet to evaluate.  That's the test and I haven't completed it as yet.  If may be he did not spell the earthquake names for those appearing before the date of TTTTA, 1927.  After all, those would not have been a prediction; they'd already occurred.  There are 10 earthquakes out of 21 that occurred before 1927.  Still, I'll check them all.

If Mr. Gann spelled the 11 post 1927 earthquakes adjacent to the dates of their occurrence, I'd say he demonstrated the 100% success rate; foresight. 

I left something hanging at the phrase "yes and maybe not."  The seeming un-correlated appearance of "ens" separated from any earthquake dates is troubling.  Perhaps finding the correlation is key to understanding the mathematics of prediction..."the curve of the future."  

But first, I have 19 observations to evaluate.  You can do it too...you can download the latest version of the MOT and do it, be it success or failure, in real time.  Prove all things to yourself and cling to that which is good.  Hmmm, that sounds familiar.
