ENS 10: The Yellowstone method applied and the message

The "ENS" series began with the Yellowstone essays (2) in which four incidences of "Yellowstone" encoded in WD Gann's "The Tunnel Thru the Air" using acrostic and telestic letters, not in ordered form, but in scrambled and proximate letters:

Four observations but, arguably, unconvincing because 1) they aren't ordered letters and 2) 5 letters were missing.  The Noxious Ones ("NO's") must have plainly written messages like "See Spot run" which they consider incontrovertible.  I think Gurdjieffe and Mr. Gann would respond, mathematics "...is the only real science that the entire civilized world has agreed upon."  So much for the "plainly written words."  Imprecise, subjective words taken as if they are truth.

Which leaves in contention the 5 (w, o, n, o, and n) missing letters in Yellowstone, only 3 of which are unique (w, o and n).  They spell "won" or "own" or "now."  Presuming Mr. Gann was spelling a message out of the missing letters, which of the 3 words might be relevant in the context of Yellowstone?  "Now."  He meant Yellowstone-now.  Not another 100,000 years from now.

Likely more important than the message is the method because the method yields further messages.   The method; what is missing might be more important than what is present.  Why give your most precious secrets to the NO's who are unwilling to work to find...ask, seek and knock.  They'd prefer to read someone's work assuming they'd derive knowledge and understanding without the effort.  How many books on markets and methods have I purchased, studied and tried to implement only to find modest results infrequently and inconsistency always?  There's a little of the NO laziness in all of us.

The method, finding that which is prominently missing, is a learning device Philo of Alexandria taught in times near the time when several of the Bible's books were written.  Broaden that method by comparing the observations to their related citation in TTTTA, finding the differences and seeing if the details, together, have meaning.  Perhaps you need to be a sleuth with the obsessive need for details, for data, of whom Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote, in fiction, of course:

So much in one paragraph, set off by meaningful chapter line counts.  Emerson's "Compensation" is incredible.  [Surely Lady Beresford has a meaningful anagram but it escapes me.]

A perceived message, "now," and a similarly simple method; find what's missing.  The connection between earthquakes and the telestic message ("ens" and its inversion "sne") was found in Tokyo J1.  The Japanese radio station J1 sports a web page for the nations "earthquake notification service" or "ens."  The USGS, here in the US, has its own "ENS:"

NO's; please tell me the 21 observations of the encoded telestic word, "ens" and 19 observations of its inversion "sne" are random.  Let's consider that objection.  All 40 observations are contiguous, ordered letters the first of which found in TTTTA is provided as an example (pg 20):

NO's take notice; the 's' follows the 'n' and the 'e' follows the 'n'.....contiguous, order.  Not simply proximate unordered letters like in Yellowstone but ordered letters and either acrostic or telestic but not a mixture of the two.  40 observations.

The NO's tell us, "only 40 observations in over 15,000 lines of text, why, that could be random."  Of course, they don't know if it could be random or not, but we don't either do we?  Maybe a statistician could assess the possibilities but I can't.  

Or maybe we do know.  The three letters e, n and s are popular.  We'd expect the 40 observations to be both acrostic and telestic.  Ideally, 20 acrostic and 20 telestic observations of "ens" and "sne."

Nope.  There are 40 telestic words "ens" or "sne."  There aren't any acrostic words "ens" or "sne;" not one.  I've done that search with the "finder" feature of the MOT download many many times.  40 observations of those 3 ordered letters...every one is entirely telestic.

Is that random?  Of course not.

Armed with this great contradiction of randomness, what's the purpose?  We have Yellowstone, earthquakes, "now," 40 observations of "ens" and its counterpart and 45 historic earthquakes summarized in the immediately preceding essays of this series......   and a method.   

As a statistician 'wannabe' my knee jerk reaction was to try to correlate the 40 observations with the 45 real earthquake events.  Well, that's kinda tough because you need a like number independent variable observations and dependent variable observations.  It is not what I wanted to find.  A couple essays ago I said that 40 observations and 40 quakes would be the ideal.  I expected it and was wrong.  No correlation possible; but I sense the last chapter on this is not written.

Disappointed, I researched the 45 greatest earthquakes in the current MOT period as identified from Wikipedia (see previous ENS series essays).  I identified the date of each earthquake and searched the surrounding acrostic and telestic letters to see if the name of the quake could be spelled.  The first (2010 Haiti) observation was spelled perfectly in all caps in a space closely proximate to the date of the earthquake.  I was hooked.  The last (1995 Great Hanshin) observation was spelled with one letter missing; acceptable.  But the 43 observation in between, not so much.  The NO in me wanted to see the perfectly spelled word, one letter perfectly after the other such as "1960 Valdivia" earthquake.  That would make it simple, no work, no wrestling with what did Mr. Gann intended to predict?  The date of the earthquake in 1960 and the name of the earthquake.  That would be incontrovertible evidence that in 1927 he predicted the strongest earthquake in the last 168 years; that would not occur for 33 years after the prediction.  But it was not so.

So what was it?  I now know, but only after having performed the exercise no less than 4 complete times.  Take each of the 45 earthquakes, find the date on the MOT and then find and highlight each letter spelling the name.  

The first time, I wanted to see how compactly I could spell the name of the quake.  I changed the name of the quake to help me do that.  Cheating.  I didn't have any standard for how many lines away from the date line I'd search before I decided the observation wasn't properly spelled.  It was subjective.  There were nice geometric patterns exhibited by some observations, there were incredible imbalances for many observations; all letters were acrostic and none telestic for example.  Clear non randomness, clear intent to highlight that date.  But its all subjective.

So I resolved the ultimate test had to have an objective standard.  I'd use the Wikipedia name for the earthquake; no cheating.  And I'd search letters surrounding the date not higher than 19 lines above the date and 19 lines below the date.  Then I would summarize the missing letters to see if "what was missing" provided a meaningful message.  

And it did.

Before explaining the message in the next essay...and proving it with Luo Clement's assignments of values to letters.... here are the results of the 45 observations:

One last time to make the procedure clear.  I found the date of the earthquake on the MOT, highlighted in light green.  Then I spaced upwards 19 lines and downward 19 lines and drew a black box around those 39 lines (19 X 2 plus the date line).  Then I searched for every letter of the name of each earthquake (the exact name as it appeared in Wikipedia's three tables of "deadliest," "most destructive" and "strongest" earthquakes found HERE) and highlighted every letter that I found.  And finally I placed in the "19X19 Missing" column the letters that were missing.  Finally, on the far right is a link to a screen shot for each observation which you can use back test my work.

There were 56 missing letters of which 40 letters are used to spell an understandable and relevant message:

Pumapunka Inca in volcano mud.  Quick, quick, jump.

Might a lost temple and civilization and a volcano have some meaning in the context of our times; in the context of the 266th Pope, elected in our time?

I'll not explain the message' meaning in this lengthy essay.  Thanks to a commenter, I understand the meaning of Pumapunka.  Oh, I'd briefly studied the mysteries of the Pumapunka some time ago but I'd have never made the connection without that heads up.  I'll let you study the message so when I do my best to explain the rationality within it and the relevance to the ENS series experiment and to our times, you'll understand what (in my opinion) Mr. Gann was telling us.

There is not only a message in verbal meaning to this message, there is mathematic evidence of its intention.  And once the whole of this incredible mystery is understood, the reader should have unmistakeable evidence that Mr. Gann predicted the 33 of 45 (12 before, 33 after or 45 in total) earthquakes that occurred after the date of the Foreword "The Tunnel Thru the Air."
