"The Twelve Days of Christmas;" Its elaborated magic square, 2 of 2

Part 1 of 2 produced a simple mathematic extrapolation of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" that raised the dilemma of the favored speculation that the "number" of God is 777 as opposed to the minority opinion that the "number" is 111.  That first extrapolation seems to favor 111 but it's far from satisfying.  Perhaps parsing the mathematics further would provide better light on the subject.

A magic square.  Articulate each row and column with the logical mathematic increment (rows, left to right) or deduction from the previous cell:

I recall, early on in my study of WD Gann, reading Frank C. Higgins' 1912 "The Cross of the Magi."  All from recollection, Mr. Higgins was not only a contemporary of Mr. Gann, but a Mason, astrologer, member of the same New York interest group (numismatic, astrology or numerology).  TCOTM was published by the same firm as published Luo Clement's (a pen name of WD Gann) "The Ancient Science of Numbers."  Hard to envision, Mr. Gann and Mr. Higgins not knowing one another; very well.

TCOTM introduced me to magic squares; ancient mathematic devices properties of which displayed startling observations.  In plain sight, we have all experienced them.  Ever play checkers or chess on the "square of 8" which becomes 64 cells?  Look up the history of the chess board which, without reading in depth, Wikipedia attributes to Persia some 1600 years ago.  I'm guessing, just as our deck of playing cards, the origin to be older and impossible to identify.  Out of my league, so just guessing.

Most striking to me in TCOTM was Higgins assertion that ancient man was little, if at all, intellectually inferior to his era (the 20th century) by virtue of the ancient's reliance on analytics math (as opposed to the pseudo math of statistics) and geometry as the finder of truth.  From the incredible page 40 of TCOTM:

Ancient man, according to my interpretation of Higgins, demanded that his God be as perfect as the perfection of math and geometry and his (ancient man) emblems and devices representing divinity must be as mathematically perfect as that same God.  Higgins' study of numismatics brought him in touch with the most prized of such emblems; coinage, money, currency.

Magic squares as devices contemplating divine promotions....  Perhaps of space and time?  Look at the insert above; I did not bold the words 'space' and 'time' above.

[As an aside, TCOTM was the first place I'd encountered the ancient dilemma of 'squaring of the circle' and the 'doubling of the square.'  Oh, I'm pretty sure I sped over that lesson in high school some 40 years ago but they don't teach those ancient discoveries, make that 'natural laws,' in CPA school.  I'd long lost that knowledge if I'd ever had it.  Higgins effectively re-taught me and added the tantalizing question of whether there is more to that ancient knowledge.]

New topic as my recently departed business partner of 25 years would say.  Or at least back to the subject of this essay; the magic square of "The Twelve Days of Christmas."  We can see the four 6X6 divisions of the TTDOC magic square as Higgins indicated in the excerpt.  Hmmm, John Dee's philosopher's stone number, 252, is the sum of cells in quadrants 1 and 3 (highlighted in blue):

Wow, that reminds me of my remedial study on Sal Khan's (who was encoded in WD Gann's "The Tunnel Thru the Air" via a "two-deep path" as documented in the link).  Quadrant 1 of the XY axis is positive-positive in the upper right, quadrant 3 is negative-negative creating a positive product in the third quadrant; both have positive products.  Quadrants 2 and 4 are negative product quadrants as the signs of X and Y oppose in each.

Interesting as well, our stock charts are all quadrant 1; you can't have a negative price and time is never, in our Minkowski gravity well of Earth's space, negative.  Time always moves forward on the positive x-axis just as space or price moves upward on the y-axis.

There are mathematic wonders of the TTDOC magic square I'll pass discussing given the drift of the previous essay.  To capsule the previous essay's question posed; the first iteration of TTDOC raised the remarkable question of whether God's number is 111, as the math seemed to indicate, or the more popular view that God's number is 777.  What, if at all, does the fully articulated magic square indicate?

Let's try an extension of the same summarization that found three consecutive summarized rows created a repeating sequence that, when summed and reduced, gave us the number 1.  In every case.  Four '1's.  Look back at that exercise and where the three sums of rows are highlighted, alternately, in yellow.  The inserts above do the same thing but to the fully articulated TTDOC; they summarize the alternating rows highlighted yellow.  This time, each summarization adds to 17, which, when reduced become 8.  Four 8s.

Now we have 111 and 888, where's 777?  Obviously....888 minus 111.  Two numbers in plain sight and the third hidden; inferred.  

Does this solve the irrelevant (I say that uncomfortably and naively) question of whether God's number is 111 or 777.  Heck, it puts a third number in the mix; 888.  A "Trinity" of numbers, if you will allow me.

Way out of my comfort zone again as I'm only familiar, very modestly so, with the Christian concept of the Trinity and not remotely so with Jewish or other religions' positions.

Let me make this further observation.  Not only is 777 unique in that it is not a 'plain sight' result of the TTDOC magic square, but the remaining two numbers are similar in this respect; the 'plain sight' numbers 111 and 888 are strobogrammatic numbers.  Such numbers can be turned upside down or rotated 180*, and they are the same number.  777 is therefore unique, it cannot be turned upside down and still be 777.  I believe those in the camp of 777 have won the mathematic case.  

And when 777 was elaborated it became the "positive" 888 (the popularly attributed number of Jesus Christ) and 111, we presume, the negative.  

Two thoughts scream at me.  First, is this Gurdjieff's and WD Gann's and countless others' 'Law of Three' where the one is elaborated into the positive, negative and neutral forces?  The elaboration of the "All" that became the positive, negative and neutral forces, the elaboration that created all things.  As John Dee emblazoned on his Monas Heirglyphica summary map "sic factus est mounds."  [There's far more to the Monas and its "mapping" of all things, but it will rest for now.]

Second thought; did WD Gann see 111, 777 and 888, did he see John Dee's "map," did he encode these observations in his "Map of Time?"  Three excerpts from the MOT:

and

and

There are only three instances in which repeating digits are to be found in TTTTA and the above are all three.  They are 11, 77 and 88.  [There is a '00' but '0' is not considered a digit by many.]

And these two thoughts raise yet a third thought; did WD Gann see me seeing these things?  

"Saw Dee Map."  All the words spelled in vertically contiguous letters on page 404; it eliminates improbability in all reasonable respect, it eliminates randomness, the message was intended.  But the word "We" is distant and, arguably, unconnected and random.  Did he see me seeing?  Page 404 is statistically persuasive that WD Gann, reasonably inferred, "saw Dee's map" but the 'we,' being so distant, is a weak, doubtable argument.  

That doubt is mathematically eliminated.  Follow a simple one-deep path from ascending chapter line number 53 (blue highlight in the above insert) to the alternate descending chapter line number 53 (same chapter, page 403) and you find, on that exact line 53 (in the blue insert below):

"We"....  "We saw Dee map."  The argument of the improbability is disposed.

Discoveries are emerging every day, faster than I can document.  I know the perfect math but cannot, as yet, apply it.  I know the manner in which the "Map of Time" can be navigated by the math of Robert Gordon's seven days, but I can't identify the method implied by the perfect math, not yet.  If I could take the time to identify the method to make the applications of math and the MOT work, I know that I could make an unfathomable amount of money, money which I don't have in any substantial amount (just enough to retire on comfortably).

But I'm caught in the wonder of what has taken place these last three years.  I cannot help but document the wonder or what appears to be accelerating to an end about which I have vague perception.  If I were to present an image of what I feel, it would that of the askew 'thirteenth stone' I sought and saw in Green-Wood Cemetery on November 22, 2015:

There will come a time when I will not publish this blog, frequented by a reliable, and probably still skeptical, 42 or so people.  I anticipate that time is nearing.  As Robert Gordon knew, one final secret must be kept to himself, not for himself but for necessity.

I wish everyone a Blessed and Merry Christmas on this 8th of "The Twelve Days of Christmas."
