GGG: WD Gann's Gravestone Geometry - the diamond

Henri Bergson, "Creative Evolution", 1911

As I stood behind Mr. Gann's gravestone on June 21, 2015, I was aware of several geographic realities around me and I instinctively perceived others.  I knew that the great tree some 40 or so feet in front of me totally blocked a view of Lower Manhattan, most recognized by One World Trade Center, and a view to my left of the Statue of Liberty.  I knew these things for having walked past the great tree and having move back and forth to see these artifacts without obstruction by other lesser trees.  Here's the picture of that view on June 21:

But I instinctively perceived something else; a geometry which I've before mentioned, known to me out of instinct ….not out of my knowledge of reality (as I had known the location of One World Trade Center).  I perceived a geometry that the some number of stones to the left and right of me and in front of me were also aligned with Mr. Gann's stone and Lower Manhattan.  The Wood-Green Cemetery map showed them aligned with the laid out alignment of the hill and all the contiguous rows of graves (see it HERE).  But that was not the case.  There was some number of stones aligned perceptibly different, at some places, almost distastefully so.  But there wasn't anything I could, that day, do on the ground with such an ill formed notion.  I couldn't, from the ground, 'see' the arrangement of many stones placed over a distance spanning maybe 100 yards.  It was not until I later looked at the pictures I took that day and the Google Earth overhead views that the geometry I imagined that day was confirmed.

The above picture shows the view of that day that had the strongest hint of a geometry; I call it WD Gann's Diamond.  In the foreground and closest is Mr. Gann's stone (white arrow), mid view of the far left and right are two aligned stones with a stone further down the slope between the two mid stones.  You can see the trunk of the great tree between the two left most arrows.  Was it a diamond or two conjoined triangles?  Of course it was:

On the above you can see the diamond in red, subdivided width-wise by a red vector that creates two roughly equal equilateral triangles and subdivided length-wise by a yellow vector creating two elongated equilateral triangles or four right triangles.  It might not escape notice that the four stones, enumerated as 5, 8, 9 and 11, add to 33.  On the face of Mr. Gann's gravestone there are two rows of 3 dots…33.

You'll also notice that the entire diamond shape points to Lower Manhattan judging from the alignment square to Mr. Gann's stone which was aligned to Lower Manhattan.  And you'll notice that the stones 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 form a line that is facing the same direction as Mr. Gann's.

How close is the diamond to two equilateral triangles?  Lots of difficulty in measurement in finding that answer.  The stones are on a downward sloping hill and, since this is the surface of the spherical earth, its spherical trigonometry, not Euclidian geometry.  Not only that, stone orientations change over the 60 years since placement (Mr. Gann's was placed in 1955).  And finally, I, nor anyone else in 60 years to my knowledge, have not taken measurements at the site.  Google Earth will need to be used to make those measurements and an assumption of where to place the 'placemark' on each stone will have to be made.  Those limitations noted and assumptions made, the above red diamond are the exact placements I made to derive the following table of distances:

One assumption I made was to place the place mark at the edge of the top of each stone (the border between the white top and the shadow of the stone which is card).  That makes lines 5-8 and 5-9 longer than 8-11 and 9-11 but about half the depth of stones 8 and 9 (stones are about 8" deep).  That allowance taken, the four sides of the diamond are pretty darn close to equal.  I suspect the Haversine calculation shows the typical error and prefer Google because Google likely uses the more accurate interative process of calculating spherical distance.  Using the later, the average of those 4 distance are 159.75 inches….say 160 inches per side was Mr. Gann's intent.

Let's settle of 3 values, then; the sides are 159.75 inches rounded to 160 inches, the horizontal red vector is 126 inches and the yellow vector is 300 inches.  What can we derive from this chimp work?

• Obviously and given the error in placement of the place marks on stones 8 and 9 we have conjoined and substantially equal equilateral triangles.  That was Mr. Gann's intent IMO,
• Consider the math of the vectors; (160/126)^2 = approximately Phi, and
• The yellow bisecting vector, indisputably, points to Lower Manhattan.

There are other insights the diamond provides, but on the third point, that yellow vector.  The vector formed by stones 5 and 11 give us a far more accurate bearing than saying "Mr. Gann's stone is square to Lower Manhattan."  Those stones are, out of recollection, maybe 40 feet apart.  It should be easy to get a reasonably accurate Cartesian bearing formed by the center point of those stones.  And that bearing will point to Lower Manhattan.  Possibly it will point, with reasonable accuracy, to One World Trade Center, or, perhaps, Federal Hall where on April 30, 1789 George Washington gave the first inaugural address to the nation, or, perhaps, the location of the NYSE…..  Or perhaps, the inaccuracy of the yellow vector may allow arguable inclusion of all of the above.

What is inescapable, in my opinion, is that the diamond proves the WD Gann Gravestone Geometry (GGG) exists and leads to further exploration using all of the 12 similarly oriented stones numerated in the first of the above inserts.  Instinct will allow one to "see" a simple cross in addition to the diamond.  One can "see" three large right triangles (a subject of a future post).  Using the 3 rows of stones ( rows of 7 stones, 3 stones and 2 stones), I can easily visualize 55 triangles within and including those 3 right triangles.   Anyone care to bet, that, once examination is complete, there aren't 82 triangles in total…..triangles within triangles?

And then there is one further extension of the triangles within triangles; time.  Every stone has dates on them.  Unfortunately, I did not take photos of the 12 stones, then not realizing research importance.  Each triangle has not only space dimensions, but time dimensions just as did WD Gann's Memorial Triangle (a preceding essay).  With, however, dozens (if not exactly 82) large, small and smaller triangles, perhaps concurrent time and space cycles can be derived.  Cycles within cycles. 

I have to make another trip with far more refined objectives…. and an instinctive open mindedness.  Developing.

GMT: The circle, triangle and square in WD Gann's Memorial Triangle

Mr. Gann found, and used his gravestone to identify, his Memorial Triangle as previously described and as shown as follows:

Within a half degree of a right triangle with stunning mathematic/geometric/chronologic properties on which I have only just begun to describe.  I believe, once fully explored, it will mirror and may rival or exceed the instructions of the Great Pyramid.

Recall the circle, square and triangle, a hallmark of Mr. Gann's teachings.  Consider if the following artifacts within the GMT were given my Mr. Gann to whet our thirst for further exploration.

The Circle.  Point 2 on the GMT is the Statue of Liberty.  An overhead picture displays the near circle:

Of course, we can see the square and the triangle all within the black outlined 11 point figure.  You might also note the elliptical shape of the island, of which the perfect circle is a theoretic and impossible subset.  Much of this island is reflective of sacred geometry but I'll bypass those thoughts.

The Triangle.  Point 1 is the WD Gann Gravestone Geometry ("GGG") which is formed by the 12 gravestones previously discussed that are perceptibly pointing (as best a person on the ground standing behind Mr. Gann's gravestone can discern) towards Lower Manhattan.  Four of those 12 gravestones form a diamond that, again perceptibly, points towards Lower Manhattan.  And half the diamond shape is a triangle:

Mr. Gann's gravestone is number 5 of the back row of 7.  [Interesting, 5 and 7, consecutive prime numbers giving you 7/5=1.4 or a crude estimate of the square root of 2 and the diagonal of a 1X1 square.]  If you take the stones 5, 8, 9 and 11 you have the diamond of which I spoke, that points to Lower Manhattan.  The yellow line in Google Earth perfectly points to the North Pool of the WTC Memorial.  The left and right red lines point to the Statue of Liberty (point 2) and Times Square (point 3).  Two halves of the diamond or stones 5, 8 and 9 and 8, 9 and 11 give you two triangles.  I am planning another visit to Mr. Gann's "courtyard" next month to take exact measurements of the distance between these stones to determine if they create exact isosceles triangles.  [Lest I forget, add the numbers of the diamond; 33.  And recall that I pointed out in a previous post that the face of Mr. Gann's gravestone have two lines each curiously containing 3 dots; 33.]

The Square.  All of which leads to point 3 of the GMT, Times Square.  This is the most dramatic of this demonstration as I will explain in the last sentence of this post.  Point 3 is the corner of the square of the Conde Nast Building located at 4 Times Square.  4 Times Square, four points of the square and how fitting that the CN Building sports a cube at its top:

Sure, any architect appreciates the square and the cube.  Not so surprising a building might sport such a figure, sport the address of 4 Times Square (particularly on Times Square) or make it 48 stories or 4X12.  But this is pretty 'in your face' is it not?

*******

And there you have it, the WD Gann Memorial Triangle with the greater symbolic geometric meaning of the circle, triangle and square. 

But that's not what keeps me up at night, adding and subtracting years, computing ratios of time and distance as I try vainly to sleep.  What makes sleep impossible is when such as the next thought dawns on me.

Mr. Gann knew the circular geometric configuration of the Staute of Liberty Island.  And he unquestionably, in my mind according to the evidence I've offered, contrived the triangular geometry of his posse's (or the "jury's") gravestones.  Those aren't what keeps me up at night.  What keeps me up at night is…

...did he or how did he know the Conde Nast Building, dedicated in 2000, 

would prominently enshrine the square?

GMT/GGG: Why 1932 Mr. Gann?

The critical battles of "The Tunnel Thru the Air" occur in 1932; the battles of Boston, New York and Washington.  And the inauguration of the "United Kingdom" occurs then as well.  1932 is one of three key points on the WD Gann Memorial Triangle which forms significant mathematic time and space properties….  Why 1932?

Would it have something to do the the birth of the nation?  The first 'organized' battle of the Revolution occurred in New York and the history of Green-Wood Cemetery (where Mr. Gann is buried) indicates the first skirmish of the battle likely occurred on that property in 1776.  From 1776 to 1932 would be an inconvenient 156 years.  Set aside the Declaration of Independence for the same reason.

How about the surrender of Cornwallis in 1781, 151 years and in Yorktown, not New York.  Or the inauguration of George Washington at Federal Hall in 1789, 143 years.  New York makes sense but 143 years.

The date of the ratification of the Constitution of the United States, June 21 1788.  The Constitution was created about September 17, 1787 but the ratification was, it would seem Mr. Gann is indicating, is the birth of the United States.  That was 144 years from the date of great fictional battles of TTTTA and the creation of the United Kingdom of the World.  144 or the square of 12, a favored number in Mr. Gann's cosmology and a notable Fibonacci number.  To boot, the Congress of the Confederation was then sitting in New York at Federal Hall on Wall Street; the financial district of Manhattan.  The beginning of the Nation in 1788 in New York and the fictional end of the Nation (and birth of the United Kingdom) 144 years later in 1932.  A 144-year grand national cycle; fictional of course.

Page 55 and repeated on page 73 (summing to 128 or a lower c on the diatonic scale), Ezekiel 21:30:

[A nuance worthy of notation.  There are 9 unnumbered pages preceding the first numbered page of TTTTA.  Page 73 plus 9 unnumbered pages sums to '82', the subject of the preceding post and what will be demonstrated to be a key to the spacial properties of the WD Gann Memorial Triangle.]

The place and time of nativity of the United States; June 21, 1788, Federal Hall of Lower Manhattan.  [I am sure there are vested researchers and historians who have found otherwise and will disagree with a lowly finite math mathematician.  I will tie in the math of the WD Gann Memorial Triangle by a later post to provide additional support, such as it may be considered or denied.]

I am shaken to consider that the group of 12 gravestones, high on a hill of Green-Wood Cemetery, facing Lower Manhattan that I have styled as "Mr. Gann's Posse" are, in reality, a jury.

Confirming aspects of Mr. Gann's Modus Operandi - 82

Some time ago, I traced several indications that WD Gann wrote or was in some way responsible for the writing and publication of "The Ancient Science of Numbers" under the pen name of Luo Clement.    I believe the evidence is a preponderance, but that's me.  Interestingly, "Ancient Science" was published by the similarly curious Roger Brothers, Publishers of 82 Duane Street.  In total, that I can find that is, there are less than 15 books (a recollection of my searching exercise) ever published by that publisher.

Following the thread, I found that a then forthcoming book on "Numerical Vibrations" was announced on the 4th page of "The Ancient Science of Numbers" and advanced orders were being taken.  "Numerical Vibration" was never published, or, at least, that I can find.  In searching and searching I found only one notice in a publication of books wanted which was dated September 22, 1920.  From 1908 to 1920, the Internet gives only one citation of any mention of "Numerical Vibrations" and it was a request to purchase the book, a book for which publication is not noticed anywhere that the Internet can find.

So, on that slimmest of a clue I found a series of articles in Scientific American published by an author who was the judge in a contest; he was named the "Einstein Essay Contest Editor."  The Einstein Editor remained anonymous to this day.  I purchased a subscription to Scientific American to read those 5 articles by the Einstein Editor and to pose the question of who was that person.  Not surprisingly, they took my question, referred it to the "appropriate department" and I have not heard from them again.  The Einstein Editor says that, similar to Michael Faraday who taught public seminars so that men without the means might understand physics, so the Einstein Editor taught night school in physics at NYU.  Similarly, I have not been able to identify the Einstein Editor on that faculty in 1920.

The 5 articles are rich in physics and the Einstein Editor, of his own device, posits the theory that a system of Cartesian Coordinates and Euclidian geometry could provide a spacetime solution that otherwise the Einsteinian theories of fourth dimensional spacetime labor to provide.  Hmmmm.

So there, I'm out on the proverbial weak limb.  What might confirm that Mr. Gann planted another date clue that would lead to some aspect of the mathematics and science that underpinned his methods?  And, having read and re read those articles, they fall in line with the other clues he's left; the cameo of Dr. Descartes in 'The Tunnel Thru the Air," Robert Gordon's 7 days being a study in Cartesian coordinates, time and the Pythagorean/Euclian solution thereby represented…..so many others.  The Einstein Editor is Mr. Gann or a member of his "posse" as I've also previously offered.

So, is there anything that might support the limb on which I'm perched?  Modus operandi.

On that striking page 82 of "The Tunnel Thru the Air," we find Mr. Gann ruminating about an article that appears in the "New York American" on January 29, 1922.  It introduces the prophecies of St Malachy and notices the "remarkable events" that will occur following the election of the 266th Pope.  Interesting that Mr. Gann would consider the events in the age of the 266th Pope in 1927 when he darn well knew the 266th Pope would not be elected for nearly 100 years.  In fact, Pope Francis is popularly considered the 266th Pope and he was elected less than 2 years ago.  Page 82 was, somehow, a clue for our age.  But I'm off topic.

Interesting.  Let's Google that date, for New York (leaving off the American) and Malachy.  Lo and behold what pops up, page 8E (the 8th page of section E) of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and the prophecies of St Malachy.  Didn't WDG live in Brooklyn-yes he did.  It is continued from page 2.  8 and 2.  As in page 82 of TTTTA.  As in 82 Duane Street, the location of the Roger Brothers.  The location of WDG's last office at 82 Wall Street.  You can find what I found right HERE.  Malachy is found in the 3rd paragraph under the subheading "His Answer to the Jews." It's interesting to read the remainder of that article.

But it doesn't stop there.  When I tried to back up to read the entire article, I had to Google "The Brooklyn Daily Eagle" January 29, 1922 and what did I see?

And what is the last two words of the first Google result?  Page 82.

How many pages are in the January 29, 1922 issue of The Brooklyn Daily Eagle?  Well, this is what the scanner counts.  It counts 81 pages and you can see the screen capture of page 2E below.  Notice that page 2E is the 64th page out of 81 pages.

Hmmm, interesting harmonics to 64.  But odd that a newspaper has 81 pages or the square of 9.  How does a newspaper have 81 pages?  There isn't a blank cover page or rear page.  I'll forego flipping through the paper for a missed scanned page…there must be an 82nd page.  Mustn't there?

I take away two things; 82 is an important number, either as a part of the geometry or as a reference to important meaning.  [I have discovered the square of 82 in WD Gann's Memorial Triangle along with 120 and 144 and will publish those findings in a forthcoming essay.]

And I take away something else.  It may be Mr. Gann's modus operandi includes using a far fetched date to link to a distant but complimentary discussion of similar concepts.

So, is it so far fetched that the never published "Numerical Vibrations" links to a single notice some 12 years later and that date leaps to the work of the Einstein Editor?

Long ago I ceased believing in coincidence.

GMT: Contemplating Mr. Gann's Memorial Triangle, Time and the 6th Prophecy of the WTC tragedy

For those who did not read the 6th Prophecy, I propose Mr. Gann prophesied in The Tunnel Thru the Air to within 1 minute of Muhammad Ata departing Logan Airport and the falling of the South Tower to less than 20 minutes.  I believe Mr. Gann's Memorial Triangle provides the same projection to within a resolution of 1 year.

Interestingly, Mr. Gann's gravestone provides only years 1878-1955 but without the month or day.  Perhaps that's a first hint that the memorial triangle is only to a resolution of 1 year.  Taking that lead we have point 2 of the triangle being the year in which the Statue of Liberty was dedicated, namely 1886, and point 3, the end of the Great War in 1932 symbolized by the Mammouth Building (or Conde Nast "C Mastedon" Building).

Now the point 4, the Twin Towers, the World Trade Center in 2001.  Here's an aerial picture of the GMT in red vectors and each point of the GMT connected to the WTC in yellow vectors:

Of course, the WTC is the convergence of the yellow lines.

Visualize in 3 dimensions what you see in the flat 2 dimension picture above; a tetrahedron perhaps?  Might it be a "regular tetrahedron" but for our position as the viewer?  Remember your perspective drawing course if you had the opportunity.

Now compute the time distances from each point of the GMT to the WTC:

Care to consider whether these lengths in time are inverse to the lengths of distance of each leg?  I won't go through the figures as in the previous post but I think it's obvious from the picture they are.  2 to 4 is the shortest in distance but longest in time.  1 to 4 is the longest in distance but shortest in time.

I believe there is much much more to the mathematics of this tetrahedron, the component triangles and how they may rotate into the next generation of projection.  Perhaps a 'wheel within a wheel' effect might be found?

But for the moment you might wish to consider that two tetrahedra placed together with a common face form a trigonal pyramid.  See page 74 of Bradley Cowan's "Four Dimensional Stock Market Structure and Cycles" for an illustration.  Ponder that.  Is the GMT half the reflection of the same shape as the Great Pyramid?  I previously mused whether the GMT would provide the same or greater math, geometry and truth as the Great Pyramid.

And the triangulation in time of points 1, 2 and 3 to point 4?  Further evidence, IMO, that Mr. Gann saw the WTC tragedy at least 74 years in advance (TTTTA was published in 1927 and WTC happened in 2001)?

Oh, did I mention the number 74 above?  Let's look up page 74 in TTTTA and see if there is anything remotely germane to divining the future from tetrahedra.  And we find:

Is this the vision of Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, a memorial of the birth of the Nation in 1886 and….well….2001?

Long ago in this personal journey I ceased belief in coincidence.  The challenge is, how does one organize and project that which others consider coincidence, randomness?

GMT: The "Curvature of time"

[A note going forward.  Posts referencing the "Magnus Opus Trilogy" will be preceded by "GMT" denoting "Mr. Gann's Memorial Triangle," "GGG" denoting "Mr. Gann's Gravestone Geometry," and "GPS" denoting "Mr. Gann's Philosophical Synthesis."  The first of these themes is relatively advanced in my research and thinking and the latter two are meanings which may or may not emerge as research and pondering may occur.]

What an interesting quote is found on page 76-77 of "The Tunnel Thru the Air:"

"Curve of the future," I seemed to recall the phrase "curvature of time."  [There is great meaning to the sentences after the above but they will not be discussed here.]  But when I searched TTTTA for the latter, I came up empty.  Ditto when I did a WWW search.  But I did discover that there seems to be a meaning in physics for identified "curvature of time."  Well, I did find that exact term on a physics forum but when I delved further into it, it appeared the accepted terminology was the "curve of spacetime [no hyphen]."  We are talking about Einstein's 1915 "General Relativity" about which Sir Arthur Eddington was the acclaimed interpreter who wrote "Space Time and Gravity" [no hyphen or comma] in 1920 and to whom I was pointed by a date found in Luo Clement's "Ancient Science of Numbers" and an essay found in Scientific American by the never named and still anonymous Einstein Essay Contest Editor.

The nature of spacetime, viewed by a finite mathematics 'expert' (err, an accountant, me) is that would be the curve of the gravity well created by, well, gravity.  "Future" or spacetime (past and present, I'd expect are places in spacetime along with future) is a function of the curve of the gravity well.  Time is defined by that gravity well….  Predicting the future then, is a matter of the gravity well and its mathematic properties.  I'll leave it at that.  Physicists and metaphysicists, please be gentle with me and see the bigger picture.

I have alluded to Mr. Gann's Memorial Triangle, having been shown to display distinct mathematic and geometric properties of note (right triangle, derivation of phi and pi), evidences notable properties of time; that space and time appear interrelated in the GMT.  Using the three Cartesian coordinates identified in the GMT in the previous post, consider the time properties of the GMT:

Why yes, there appears to be a mathematic progression inherent in the GMT.  Mr. Gann deceased 23 years after the fictional Great War ended in 1932 (and the stock market bottomed).  At twice that 23-year interval or 46 years, the Great War ended 46 years after the Statue of Liberty was dedicated.  And completing the triangle, 69 years after the Statue of Liberty was dedicated, Mr. Gann deceased.  There indeed appears to be mathematic properties of the GMT.  [Hmm, if 23 is 1, then 46 is 2 and 69 is 3.  That sounds a lot like Mr. Gann's street address of 123 Fenimore.  Nah, that's silly.]

There's more.  The space properties identified in the previous post (the miles between points 1-2, 2-3 and 3-1) and the time properties above appear to be related…inversely related:

The smallest space interval and the longest time interval are associated with the same leg.  The longest space interval and shortest time interval are related.  Space and time are inverse?  Sounds a lot like the same outcome of what's known as the "FitzGearld Contraction."  [Chapter 1 of Sir Arthur Eddington's "Space Time and Gravitation.]

So, the question becomes, what factor or formula unifies space and time…for practical purposes?  Some master factor….  is this the inscrutable process of "squaring?"

Perhaps the unnamed Einstein Editor gives (gave) us a hint, but enough for now.

Road trip 4 of 4 - WD Gann's Magnus Opus; A Trilogy of Research Threads

From "Creative Evolution" by Henri Bergson as translated by Arthur Mitchell, 1922.

I undertook the road trip knowing I would find something more than the earthly remains of WD Gann.  I knew there would be some greater meaning he left behind.  Instinct.

As I stood behind Mr. Gann's gravestone and aligned it with where I knew the financial district of Manhattan lay, hidden behind the great tree, I realized the Statue of Liberty was to the left of the line of sight and the Midtown area (where the Mammouth Building was located) would, therefore be right.  At that moment I knew there would be a geometry somehow created that would have meaning.  I was not prepared to discover there are three divergent threads for research that, ultimately I believe, will converge once they've run their course.

WD Gann's Memorial Triangle; properties reminiscent to the Great Pyramid

On page 398 of Tunnel Thru the Air, Robert Gordon visits the "Pyramids" (spelling capitalized) and, unlike other building and monuments, declines to destroy them; he believes they were placed there for a divine purpose.  And so it seems, Mr. Gann has created a conceptual right triangle with points of his gravestone, the Statue of Liberty and the Mammouth Building (42nd and Broadway).  But this triangle has mathematic/physics, prophetic and symbolic properties which extend its meaning beyond its simple existence.  After hours of fitting the triangle more closely to what I believe was Mr. Gann's intention, I find it to be the following 3 Cartesian coordinates, 3 side lengths and 3 angles:

The sides appear to form Phi proportions and the non square angles appear to form a Pi proportion.  The Great Pyramid of Giza demonstrates these proportions and, it has been recently offered, provides the exponent e.

A picture in Google Earth gives you the following:

About the coordinates.  I have chosen them to provide a 90 degree angle at point 2, the Statue of Liberty.  It is subjective, but within limits.  One could locate either point 2 or 3 in a large area.  Point 2, anywhere on the island, point 3, any corner of 42nd and Broadway.  The resultant angle at point 2 would become roughly 88 degrees to 92 degrees.  The guidance I used was first, to optimize as close to 90 degrees at point 2 as possible.  And second, was the Conde Nast Building at the southeast corner of 42nd and Broadway.

Though the Conde Nast Building was not completed until January 2000 and Mr. Gann could not have "known" about it, its attributes are far too stunning.  It is the 12th tallest building in New York City based on its 48 floors.  Located at 4 Times Square, you might first note that 48 floors divided by 12th tallest is 4, as in 4 Times Square.  When you add the mast taking it to 1143 feet, its the 4th tallest structure in NYC.  But it gets better.  What is located on the Northwest corner of that building?  It is the NASDAQ market whose screen stands 7 stories tall:

But the most striking aspect of the Conde Nast Building is seen from an aerial view:

I call it the "Conde Nast Cubes".  The beginning Gann student will see the 45 degree angles (green arrows) and, by virtue of its translucence, the further bisecting angle (red arrow).  The Bradley Cowan student will be struck by the cube and, further, its replication in four partial cubes (black arrows).

No, Conde Nast is not 110 stories, as was the Mammouth, but it marks a points of the Memorial Triangle which will, geometrically I believe, demonstrate to us where the 110-story would stand.  And that same triangle will demonstrate, I believe, when the real 110-story would fall.  [One might want to consider the intentionally incorrect spelling of the word "Mammouth" and a similarly incorrect spelling derived from the words Conde Mast….C mastedon, perhaps?]

It is four dimensional physics.  Space and time are inverse.  Its the "Lorentz-FitzGearld Contraction" later explained by Einstein with his theory of special relativity.  The Gann Memorial Triangle displays not just spacial properties demonstrating Phi and Pi, it also demonstrates, as I conceptualize, time properties that are inverse to those spacial properties.  Space and time.  

[An excellent reflection on FitzGearld and Lorentz is Sir Arthur Eddington's "Space Time and Gravitation" (note Space Time, alarmingly, does not contain either a comma or hyphen) chapters 1 and 2.  It was written in 1920 and Eddington was the most notable and one of the earliest scientists to translate and detail Einstein's work in English and near laymen terms.  He also proved Einstein's contention that light would be 'bent' by gravitation through his eclipse studies.]

This is the first research thread that is far further along in my thinking than the latter two.

 WD Gann's Posse

I first read the stimulating thought that WDG's gravestone was oriented to overlook the Financial District of NYC fin any of Olga Morales and was asked by a friend to verify that observation.  Though obscured by a great tree, the gravestone is so oriented in my opinion.  But there are other grave stones so oriented; including WDG's there are exactly 12 gravestones so oriented and conspicuously so.

The intended map of section 129 of Green-Wood Cemetery shows lot 37747 (WDG's lot) as the fifth of 12 lots that are configured parallel to the previous row as follows:

You see above 12 arrows.  From the left there are 4 orange, then the fifth one which is white and is lot 37747 (WDG's lot) then 5 more which are green.  Conceptually according to the map, they should all be oriented similarly to the rows to which they appear to be parallel.  They are not.

Rather, the first 7 lots left to right (6 orange arrows and 1 white arrow) are NOT parallel to the previous rows.  The face of these gravestones all face the same way as Mr. Gann's which I found to be facing lower Manhattan and the Financial District.  Those 7 stones visibly form a row or line and all the stones are flush with that line.  The remaining 5 stones (green arrows) face the Financial District squarely but are  not remotely arranged as depicted.  Here's the arial arrangement:

The same color arrows have been used above.  The orange and white arrows are on a straight line that is NOT parallel to the lines of stones below them and the orange arrow stones face the same direction as the white arrow stone (WDG's). Three of the green arrow stones can be used to define a diamond with the white arrow stones… a perfect direction towards the Financial District.  You can see this diamond (I refer to it as Gann's Diamond) in the following picture I took on the summer solstice:

The picture is not entirely square, but if you look at the aerial depiction of those 4 stones, you see they form a diamond that squares to the line of sight to the Financial District.

Similarly, the five green arrow stones combined with the one white arrow stone form a cross.  I'll leave that configuration for discussion as this second thread evolves.

These twelve stones constitute what I identify as Mr. Gann's Posse; a group of people with whom he had an association that allowed him to conceive this smaller geometry.  Like the Memorial Triangle, I believe there are geometric properties associated with the 12 stones that constitute important knowledge.

An interesting question is whether the 12 might have a 13th under the tree (a 13th tribe).  I recall a stone cross below the limbs of the great tree at the top of the picture but do not recall if it is square to the Financial District and do not find it identified on the section 129 "plan" (first picture above).

The Men Comprising WD Gann's Posse

Obviously, the 12 stones are 12 men.  I was not down this road of thought when I visited Mr. Gann's grave on June 21, 2015 and did not take pictures of the other 11 stones.  I do not know who those men were but, again, I expect to find that were Mason Brothers and, likely, close associates of Mr. Gann…very close.

Mr. Gann did a lot in his time.  He used nom de plume's to obscure the breadth of his work or for other reasons.  A compelling case has been made that Orolo advertisements were a Gann disguise.  I have made what is, in my opinion, a compelling case that Luo Clement was actually WD Gann and haven't received any evidence to the contrary.  Books of Luo Clement (The Ancient Science of Numbers), Thomas Troward (Bible Prophecy) and a host of Thesophists are found published by an obscure publisher, Roger Brothers.  It would seem the very few books published by Roger Brothers might be the real "Gann reading list" if there was one; the subject matters are consistent.  The Einstein Editor, who I tenuously linked from Luo Clement never published book on advance vibration, and who published 5 articles in Scientific American in the1920 Einstein Essay Contest underwritten by Eugene Higgins…a Gann pen name?  The Einstein Editor said that he taught night school at NYU as Michael Faraday taught in public so that those unable to afford such an education in physics could learn.

But are these actually non de plume's or are they associates of Mr. Gann acting in concert with him or at his direction or coordination?  Perhaps we find one was a publisher.  Perhaps one was an NYU professor….  Does geometry and physics play a role in personal relations and personal development?

*******

These last two areas of the 'trilogy' of further research require that I make another trip to Mr. Gann's grave to document the gravestone arrangement and the 11 persons other than Mr. Gann interred there.

Have a wonderful and safe fourth of July.
