So where is it in TTTTA? Its buried very deep in the acrostic/telestic letters. Three paths to find the "Euler constant."
We find the word "Euler" in contiguous letters beginning at cumulative ascending line 1433:
I'm not convinced and you should not be either. Granted, contiguous letters spelling a word for which you were searching is improbable but in 15341 lines (telestic letters), well, it can happen.
What if the "three-deep path" were to lead to Leonhard's first name or his most famous (among many many great accomplishments) concept; that being "Euler's constant?" What if the mathematic concept of the "three-deep path" leads us to confirmation that "Euler" was not simply the improbable occurring?
So, I follow the line number. Since we are at line number 1433, I'll take the counterpart descending line number 13907 (which is midway between the first and fifth character), add the descending chapter line number 467 and deduct the ascending chapter line number 90 to arrive at 14284.
I go to line number 14284 and immediately find "cons" in contiguous letters:
But "ant" isn't anywhere to be found.
Until I follow the three-deep path one step further. This time I continue the path along the ascending line number column by adding the 14282 of the mid character line, adding the ascending chapter line number 256 on that same line and deducting the descending chapter line number 85 to arrive at a wing and a prayer line number 14453.
In reality, I knew it would be there...the missing "ant." He even threw in an extra "st" already found in the second stop of the three-deep path. I knew it would be there.
So where do the statistics of improbability stand now? We've spelled the "Euler constant" using a mathematic device. Let's say we had 13 letters to spell a word, what's the probability we would find them in 13 and no more lines of text in TTTTA? Is the improbability all the greater if they are found in a twice predictable places?
'Taint random. Ah, it was deliberately created by a mathematic mastermind to waste the idle time of a simple finite mathematician who would find such things 88 years (now up to 90) later? Or was it created to teach how to navigate the line structure of TTTTA? To teach an algorithm that organizes the Torah Code?

Reading up on Leonhard Euler in, gasp, Wikipedia, he was, indeed, a great mathematician. His accomplishments were incredible in several fields. I find very relevant to the study of the circle, triangle and square the "Euler line." Computing or drawing the three median points of any triangle, those being the circumcenter, the orthocenter and the centroid, fall on the same line. Always on the same line. Perhaps this is one of those details Sherlock Holmes would want to put in his "vault" for future use in studying the circle, triangle and square. Along with the Euler constant, I think so.
Fascinating is the legend (not necessarily historically accurate as cautioned in Wikipedia) that Euler, at the request of Catherine the Great, agreed to confront the secular French philosopher, Denis Diderot, over the latter's arguments in favor of atheism. Denis Diderot agreed to review Euler's "proof" of God. From Wikipedia:
Reading math history on Wikipedia, Wolfram, etc. is awfully dry. So it was a pleasant surprise to find that mathematician's majestic bluff played on the flamboyant philosopher at the end of the Wiki article. I needed that.
