Pi, tricky Mr. Gann, a belated birthday present to me!!!

I remember their good old days when the Noxious Ones were in the driver's seat and could ridicule the thought that the WD Gann's encoding of "The Tunnel Thru the Air" and my decoding of the "Map of Time" hidden in the line structure of the book.

Why, those statistical probability challenged self important ones would scoff at the idea of the "6 e's."  Don't recall the "6 e's"?  That's how I discovered the acrostic/telestic encoding of TTTTA.  The very first paragraph of the Foreword:

How improbable is it that in "random' text there are six consecutive lines ending in 'e'?  It is a joint probability.  Assuming an infinite population of random text (i.e. not poems designed to end in 'e') and each of the 26 letters in the alphabet is equally likely to end a line, the probability is 1/26X1/26X1/26X1/26X1/26X1/26 or 1/(26^6).  Err, very improbable.  There are nuances such as 'e' is a very popular letter.  Obviously, the letter 'x' is not used much and 'e' is probably the most used letter.  Hence, the single trial probability might be 1/16 or 1/14.  Regardless if its 1/(26^6) or 1/(16^2), its a small number. 

I'm remiss for those who cannot handle raising to an exponent.  1/(26^2) = 1 in 309M (that's million) and 1 / (16^2) = 17M, rounded of course.  That's 1 in 309M or 1 in 16M.  Either way, it is highly improbable there are 6'e s ending 6 consecutive lines in random text.  Mr. Gann signaled to us, up front, "TTTTA is encoded."    

"You can spell anything with an infinite number of letters" was the chorus so ignorantly singing.  There are 15,341 lines in TTTTA and, hence, 15,341 acrostic letters and a like number of telestic letters....hardly infinite.  And the are ordered which makes it a joint probability as opposed to "sampling with replacement."  But ignorance speaks loudly.  If you say something emphatically and from the self proclaimed status of "expert" well, persons of like ignorance will agree and still buy your books or newsletters or whatever.

Ah how the tables have turned.  Long ago, I found "Phi" and "de Pisa."  I've found "Einstein's Cat," the "ham sandwich theorem."  Dozens of acrostic/telestic "words" that spell for those who will seek them words that are not spelled in plain narrative text for those without the work ethic to find them.

Its always with a sense of reward when I find yet another device.  In this case "Pi."  How would Mr. Gann credibly spell a two letter word.  There should be many "Pi's" that occur naturally in random text.  How about this?

Mr. Gann gives us the acrostic letter "p" and, on the same line, gives us the telestic letter "i" or "pi."

Ah, again, the chorus of Noxious Ones claiming randomness and my delusion.  But its on them for being so quick to judge out of their self important bias.  Look at the line numbers.  The cumulative line number from the first line on the cover is line number 11566.  The cumulative chapter line number downwards from the first line of chapter XXVII is 404.  The cumulative line number counting upwards from the last line on the rear flap is line 3776.  The cumulative line number counting upward from the last line of the Chapter XXVII is line 34.  For those Noxious Ones in Rio Lindo (figuratively, of course, based on the cost of "Gann expert" books), the line numbers are in yellow above and the letters p-i are in tan.

And if the Noxious Ones had any imagination, work ethic or initiative they would have....at this point... made the simple computation of:

Bravo, bravo Mr. Gann, for 88 years your encoding of TTTTA has remained hidden from the throngs of "Gann experts" some so named, some so claimed.  And for 89 years, your hidden prize, Pi, has been without indisputable corroboration.  We know you used it because you've said so...the "circular" nature of all things.  The triangle, circle and square.  

But here we have two proofs.  

• The first proof.  We have Pi encoded three levels deep in the "Map of Time."  It is spelled not just in an acrostic word or telestic word (the first level), but one letter of each (the second level).  I call it a zig-zag.  We have it two levels deep with a third level of meaning, the numeric value of Pi to the fourth decimal place.

• The second proof.  The MOT, as I have enumerated and dated every line, is substantially correct.  Otherwise, we could not derive Pi to the 10 thousandths using 4 lines' number.  Now could we?  

On second thought Mr. Gann, perhaps your hiding secrets in TTTTA was not all that great a feat given the nature of the supposed "experts" who study your work.

My goodness.  There's my birthday in red above; February 21.  Tsk tsk, you got my year of birth wrong.  Protecting me from identity thieves no doubt.  I guess Pi is my belated birthday present.  Nonetheless, Mr. Gann, I thank you for remembering....  err, pre-cognitioning given that you wrote your book decades before I was born.

Next year, perhaps for Christmas you'll give me the Torah Code you promise is hidden in TTTTA:
