Put on your thinking caps, read the above post on Twixter and try and figure out what’s wrong with this idea before scrolling down for the reveal.
I’m not a fan of creating new ciphers. You absolutely do not need more than the dozens already found on the Gematrinator calculator now. It’s super easy to find any matches you need with four ciphers, a firm understanding of Phraseshopping and a little time investment. The big reason I’m not a fan though, is what to name them. Recently I went over the new composite number cipher. The originator of that is still pushing to have that became more mainstream. (And by pushing we mean brown nosing.). But giving credit where it is due, since there is a prime number influence in conspiracy gematria it does make some kind of sense to have a composite number cipher.
The problem with new ciphers is what to name them when it isn’t obvious like composite or ordinal. Even Fibonacci with it being an impractical and rarely used cipher makes sense in it being named what it is. Lots of the odd ciphers have ridiculous names with little regard to how they operate. Like names chosen by preteens who are trying to figure out what to name their dark elf the first time they play D&D. Our “Add the four base ciphers” fellow here is basically creating a new cipher. One with no historical background and little regard to whether it makes any sense at all has also not named it. And without regard to my feelings on the matter has left me to name it myself. Do you realize how many synonyms for stupid there are? The list is mind bogglingly long. And I have no idea why I’m feeling so generous to call it Lazy instead of a harsher moniker.
And it is lazy. A lasting legacy of the early Gematrinator days is the idea that you could make custom ciphers. A secret code only you and your friends understand until you get old enough to understand grifting and can sell the secret for a couple of nickels on the playground. This is why we even have talk of the composite cipher. A grab for attention, “Oh look at me internet! I’ve created something new! Stop decoding sports for just ten minutes and watch my video and drop a like and subscribe to my channel!”
If one takes the time to apply some basic math skills to gematria you can see some patterns. Some relations in ciphers appear. And the biggest relation is the normal order of the alphabet compared to the reverse order. Whenever you add the two values for ordinal and reverse, and this shows in the chart our lazy friend provided, they always equal 27. So there’s only two differences in values for the entire “add the four ciphers” together lazy cipher. In the reductions 18 becomes 9.
So every single letter in the magical new cipher equals 36 except I and R which equal 45. Multiply the number of letters in the word or phrase by 36. Add an extra 9 or few for adjusting to the number of I’s and R’s you’ve got. And that is your total.
For gematria decoding, try and NOT find a magical relationship for comparing two words of equal length with no I’s and R’s. The only thing missing is a further tweak like some of the existing ciphers where the I’s and R’s are treated as 9 instead of 18, making the lazy cipher a true multiply everything by 36 cipher. Kind of like a Super Sumerian where instead of stopping at multiplying by 6 you get to excitedly multiply by 6 again. Now that’s a cipher name we can get behind now. Not unlike a cool D&D character name it sounds like a pro wrestler. Ladies and gentlemen, wearing the red trunks it’s the challenger, Chaldean. And in the white trunks, the reigning champion! The Odor of the Decoder! The King of Phraseshopping! The definitely not racist, homophobic, misogynistic or grifting ruler of the ring! Getting your kicks times 36! Suuuuuuupppeeeeerrrrrr Suuuuuuuuuuumeriannnnnnnnnn!
