I can perceive the analytical solution to Robert Gordon's 7 days, the greatest (IMO) of paradoxes in "The Tunnel Thru the Air." But where there may be a purely logical solution to time and space, might there be a map for those more visually perceptive than mathematically perceptive?
I searched all of the acrostics and telestics of TTTTA and find the simple word "Map" only once. Such a simple word, but only once? I'd expect to see it many times. Perhaps the understatement is a statement in itself. I find "Map" appearing on lines 3732 to 3734 as an acrostic word:
![]()
Interestingly, the "a" of "Map" appears on line 3733 of TTTTA. Hmmm, 37 and 33, two interesting numbers combining to form that line number. Hmmm again, 37 / 33 = 1.12121212121212….
Above and below "Map" we find the telestic words "des" and "ten." "Des" you say. Yes, I find it many many times in TTTTA. Its an acronym for "data encryption standard" which was the early basis of modern cryptography (1970 if I recall). But TTTTA was written in 1927 so Gann couldn't have known about encryption of that level. Really, how do you think the Tel-talk could exclude all other people from hearing the conversation?
So, draw triangle (black lines) using the d, a and n. Then draw the implicit right triangles (red lines) and you can find the dimensions of the black triangle. The black lines are close to a right triangle but not close enough (there is a 100 degree angle which should be 90 degrees). So, I like the idea but I'm not sold by the triangles drawn.
On the other hand, the occurrences of the telestics of words comprised of e's…all 83 of them, or of t's, or of s's, or of a's…. their spacing in the perfect line structure of TTTTA (yesterday's post) -- well, just perhaps there is a 'map' of time cycles which comprise the meaning of Gann's phrase "…the curvature of time..."
