A Historical Precedent In Gematria

Not to suggest that there is any history for much of the more Seussian methods of number generation.  If you think I’ve been digging deeper into the history after the revelation that I finally found a precedent for mirror images and dropping zeroes, no.  That video still didn’t explain where that came from.  If you search for “dropping zeroes in gematria” with your favorite engine you are likely to find a computer or math site like this one:

Which I presume is more about issues like what happens when gematria individual letter values have a zero what happens if you try and divide by the letter Z if Z=0.  The discussion is about individual letters not being zero instead of the zeroes in the aggregate total.  There’s a big difference in Z=0 and 370=37.  Pro Tip:  Don’t divide by zero.  This is the mathematical equivalent of trying to summon the Candyman by standing in front of a mirror and repeating his name three times.  The first time you divide by zero you may feel a slight disturbance in the force and some mild earthquake tremors.  The second time, a new Adam Sandler movie will be released.  The third time will awaken the ancient terrors from their eternal slumber.  They will be cranky.

No, this is more closely related to yesterday’s “that reminds me of....” material.  To the point, the word SIGNAL and its forerunner the word NUMBER and a nod to any others I possibly missed.  There is a precedent in gematria.  Establishing a precedent now by preceding a shoehorned in phrase with another shoehorned word.  The only sense being that shoes mostly come in pairs.

The first precedent infraction was turning a number into another number by spelling it out, then being dissatisfied with the result speaking the name of the Candyman a second time and spelling the words out by adding the word NUMBER such as NUMBER THREE HUNDRED FOURTEEN.  As if to suggest that Pythagoras was doing isopsephy one day and realized that, by golly people might not realize that THREE HUNDRED FOURTEEN is actually a number!  Better make sure to make that clear in case this system becomes wildly popular with the Freemasons in a couple of centuries from now!  And effectively doubles the number of choices to accept or ignore on top of if it’s NUMBER THREE HUNDRED FOURTEEN, NUMBER THREE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN, NUMBER THREE ONE FOUR or worse.

So what do you do if the phrase is not strictly a number?  How about a vague but cool sounding word like SIGNAL?

Now NUMBER SEVEN DOLLARS SEVENTY SEVEN CENTS doesn’t make much sense because of the wording.  But SIGNAL makes no fucking cents.  Where the heck did that come from?  Because this isn’t the first time this brainiac has used this.  It seems to be his go to source for changing the phrase to a different number.  I know I’ve seen that used for 911and have vague memories of others. Signal 911 instead of Number 911.  If you want to play the “that reminds me game” with some restrictions that sound prettier SIGNAL isn’t too bad. But how about CODE, ENCRYPTION, DIGITS, MESSAGE, PROMPT, POINTER, INDICATOR or something else signally (real word).  If you want to go crazy how about SIGNAL reminding someone of SIGNET or SINGLE?   Why not BANANAS 911 for that matter?   How exactly can you know which is the right word the evil empire has in mind?  You’re argument is extremely unconvincing.

Even more unconvincing is arriving at a total of 444 without any indicator, message, pointer or signal to what that means.  444 is a Durped in number that any idiot can recognize is the same three digits.  Nothing says scary like three digits, except maybe if you found a meaningful phrase that tied into 9112001 without creating a custom elision to force it.  But, he’s already done a string of 888 totals and insisted on those not being a coincidence and proof of gematria workability.  Which when I saw took me about ten minutes to find that MERE ALPHABET SOUP COINCIDENCE=888 in Jewish.  The rule of large numbers, probability and coincidences made LOGICAL FALLACY=911 in English gematria for just such incidences.
