Cipheragette City

Resuming our book tour here. Hubbard's chapter four:


The Kabbalah, Septenary and Chaldean Ciphers


Whoa, Nelly! The Kabbalah? The previous chapter with the 7 complimentary (sic) ciphers includes tributes to Hebrew gematria. Can you get any more Jewish than having a cipher named Kabbalah? What's this doing in the next chapter? Who do you have to sleep with in this town to make it to the title of complimentary cipher? Or maybe in the case of Kabbalah you start as a page, become a squire and eventually a Jewish princess grants you cipherhood? Can you take a shortcut and defeat the Satanic Cipher in battle and instantly become ciphered? Who's making up these rules on which ciphers are foundational, complimentary, and also ran the race but everyone knows not to bet on that pony? So many questions.


There's four foundational ciphers. Seven complementary ciphers. Three more here. And that's all mentions in the chapter list. 14 elisions. You missed even acknowledging the others in the chapter list, and there are about 5,731,982,910 others. The elision manufacturing plant in Cipheragette City is working overtime, wham, bam thank you ma'am! (Hmmm.....apostrophe....maybe that should be maa'm?)


There are clearly more used on a regular basis than the 14. The 3 from this chapter don't even realm count, they're so rarely used. I've seen screenshots that show 24 different elisions on the same page. I've seen reference to Manly P. Hall suggesting there are over 200 ciphers. I'm sure there is some overlap, but how many elisions do you need?


I think tho fiasco falls squarely on the shoulders of the Kelvinator and his spreadsheet. It is a masterful work of engineering database info. It is extremely convenient. It's free. So everyone uses it, including me. But they've gotten too greedy and there are too many elisions. Any scholarly observation quickly sees historically a single elision was used compared to the text source. Not matching between multiple systems, always discarding the numbers you don't like. Anybody with a crude understanding o statistics can understand this. One system. One match. 200 systems, one match and 199 mismatches. Where's the synchronicity in that?


The Primes elision has just popped up recently. Instead of a=1, b=2....it's a=2, b=3, c=5 and onward through the list if primes. Now the word CAB has a distinctly different value of 10 that it never had before. And this just appeared out of thin air at most months ago. Same for Trigonal. A=1, B=3, C=6, D=10....(start with 1, 1+2, 1+2+3, 1+2+3+4, etc....). More new numbers. Also just recently discovered. Or more likely invented by the Kelvinator himself. I highly doubt Manly Hall even knew what triangular numbers were much less having a misnamed cipher based in them.


Go ahead and add as many elisions as you want. It just makes you look silly. Not as silly as some of the other tricks, but still laughable. Watch out for something I'm keeping an eye out for. These newer prime and trigonal elisions have created larger numbers, so the range is extending beyond two digit and low three digit results. Conceivably a system could be created that word Xxxxx=1234 in system 1, and 456 in system two. All other words that equal 1234 in S1 always equal 456 in S2. I wil find it. Trust me.
