A Fibonacci Cipher?

Doesn't seem likely, at least not as a straight up one letter to one number relationship

Our good friend Glass Wizzard asked the Gematrinator if he ever considered an elision based on Fibonacci numbers in a comment on his Cory Booker video about a week ago.


On the Pro side for having a numbering system based on Fibonacci's sequence we have


1) You can always ignore any numbers you don't like. So the few short words and/or words heavily loaded in the early part of the sequence have some values to play with. Then it can sit idly in fallow for a growing season waiting until it gets replanted with a cash crop like FADE or GAG.
2) It was brought to the Gematrinator's attention. If there's someone that's going to make a new cipher, he's the go to guy. That is, if there's someone who recognizes how useless the elision would be for something like GLASS WIZZARD he'd be the one to suggest that the evil empire did not think Z would have meant 121,393. But who knows what? He's also mentioned Star Numbers are being worked up. The numbering pattern is similar where by the time you're getting to Z by itself is 3,901. So it becomes an issue of how far you want to stretch credibility.
3) Dan might see the webpage I linked and feel that RKnott = Are Not and FIBTABLE is appropriate for a description of the way it will be used.


Reasons not to:
1) There's enough problems with the existing elisions.
2) It's linguistic racism to tell the upper end of the alphabet to fuck off.
3) The Gematrinator hasn't responded.
4) In practical use a nice averaged size word is almost always going to be turned back into a smaller number in some way.
5) Gematria is stupid.


But let's go back to point 4 in the not to list and our field of dream numbers. If you want to plant a cash crop of CAB, so you can have a cash CAB which was a fun show that was essentially Jeopardy! Lite, you would have CAB = 1+1+2=4. Might as well let the field stay in fallow. No point in bothering with a 4 that is pretty much useless. If you want to grow a food crop for a cash COW, there's that damned W. COW= 2+610+28657=29,269. I doubt there's any serious matches without suggesting you cast out an extra 2 and 9 and making it 269 or similar chicanery. Even the letter O by itself is bound to be instantly changed to 61.


Just like the other expansion elisions we don't need there's no logical reason to think that the evil empire would start hiding their secret mockery by changing word to number, then immediately change it into another number.


I can put this on my list of homework projects. Turn a Fibonacci based elision into a 113 I like. I probably will.
