I'm so eloquently reminded of my excessive imagination, bordering on delusion, by the insightful Noxious Stalker (formerly known as the Noxious One). A delusional person would not perceive the possibility of error. Would the Noxious Stalker perceive his own bigoted delusion if he did not consider the person as, even remotely, being correct?
I put that paragraph first because I'm going down the road of the remotely possible meaning of the TTTTA war timeline; as perhaps, a future timeline. Again, its caveat emptor.
Phi is represented in WD Gann's "Map of Time" as evident by the line structure and story found in his "The Tunnel Thru the Air." As documented in previous essays the MOT is 15341 lines from cover to cover and spans the time between Robert Gordon's birth to the last date of the book or 9,579 days:
Set Phi aside for the moment; new train of thought.
War is declared on the U.S. in April, we don't know when in April:
"Fate." The US rushed its great forces to the Pacific Coast to confront the great danger posed by the enemy.
Of course, similar posturing occurred prior to the entry of Japan into WWII, followed by the attack on Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941. That the above was an allusion to Pearl Harbor is not mutually exclusive of another meaning as history is perceived as, at least, "rhyming."
The above occurs some time between April and mid May because we find the attack on Los Angeles occurs mid May...let's say May 10:
As "fate" has it, L.A. was surrendered June 14 and the U.S. expected an attack on S.F. at any time:
Throughout the country, people were anxious. The next attack was from Brownsville, TX to El Paso on August 1, below. So many encoded messages are associated with the August 1 attack; "wmd,""wdgan,""ens,""CAL."

Prior to WWII the U.S. focused its might on the Pacific Coast. In the fictional war, TTTTA focused the military might of the U.S. on the Pacific Coast. Is it overstating the case to say that the lone remaining strength of the U.S., its intellectual and economic might, is centered in L.A. and San Francisco? What would be the impact on the country and the world if those cities were lost?
Throughout the country, people were anxious. The next attack was from Brownsville, TX to El Paso on August 1, below. So many encoded messages are associated with the August 1 attack; "wmd,""wdgan,""ens,""CAL."
Days went by and the U.S. was anxious regarding the nature of the next attack:
And the attack on San Francisco occurred in September 1930:
The above may form a time line of sorts. Can we visualize the geographical progression? Perhaps Mr. Gann provided a quick easy picture; the battle lines (first conceived by a commenter, Dolemite). Yes, we can.
Hiram Abiff, who chose death over giving up his ancient knowledge, Albert Einstein who developed "emsy" or "E=MC2" on September 27, 1905...and the battle lines (discovered by Dolemite, a commenter). Visually, the battle lines, including the fall back secondary lines, are:
You have the U.S. component of the Pacific Rim of Fire, lacking only Yellowstone as the seismic Achilles Heel of the country.
The first battle, first timeline; L.A. > El Paso Brownsville > San Francisco.
So much on the table. One last component before I leave this essay hanging. Jonas. From the inscrutable page 69 we are treated to "...no sign shall be given but the sign of Jonas..." Robert believe this to be the "...key to the interpretation of the future..." Do we find Jonas in any of the inserts above? Yes. The first insert of the MOT above has Jonas encoded in zig zag, acrostic/telestic letters corresponding the declaration of war. Jonas and the declaration of war.
*******
What is the Jonas sign, if only in my imagination, that Mr. Gann intended? Perhaps the "Jonas storm" this last winter as named not by me but by the media? A minor one in my opinion. There is always a "greater and lesser" we are told. I think the greater sign is yet to occur. And I have an opinion what that sign will be.
If, in my imagination, there is a time line expressed in TTTTA, how might the obvious reference to Phi alter or position the time line? In my imagination, I have an opinion on that.
I do not know how these thoughts will turn out. Obviously, as I think I write. If I were to know the reality, whatever it is, before us, I'd be writing it in plainer words but I do not. Thinking I had the answer in January, I made my "great mistake," fearing we were out of time. Always, it is good to consider the source and make up your own mind. The latter takes effort, however.
This time, I have those same fears, but the Jonas sign does not seem to have occurred to set in motion a proportionate timeline of events...that Mr. Gann may have provided us. The Jonas sign, the declaration of war. And Phi.
"The first battle..." will be continued,
