The Golden Key - R. Sale - 17-02-2016
The Golden Key is a text segment located in the outer text ring of White Aries. If the investigation of correspondence between traditional heraldic patterns and the designs of the tubs in the VMs Zodiac continues to its historical grounding, then it is clear that the pope has two keys and this is the one that is golden. The pair of Stolfi's markers, in the textual bands, have essentially been given a sort of sacred validation.
So in addition to being highly recommended by the internal workings of the Zodiac illustrations, the text found in the segment has some unusual characteristics. In a way, keeping with the multiple examples of pairing in the astrological medallions of the first five houses, and with numerous paired, heraldic examples, this text also has multiple examples of double and triple word repetition. Something that is unique in all VMs Zodiac text segments.
Secondly, there is a decided preference in this segment for words that start with the EVA letter "o". And this is the same letter generally conceded to be first in the seventeen symbol sequence from f57v.
And third, the words from the Golden Key text segment use a very limited selection of symbols that come from the seventeen symbol sequence almost exclusively.
Positional confirmation is found in VMs heraldry. It is used in the seventeen symbol sequence. Positional confirmation is objective, where illustrative interpretations are subjective. So I expect position to be significant in the process of interpretation for this VMs text segment.
RE: The Golden Key - R. Sale - 10-03-2016
The results coming from the investigation of heraldry in the VMs Zodiac give no indication as to how to understand the written VMs text. The answer discovered there is the particular segment of text provided for investigation. The outer band of text in the White Aries illustration is the golden key. How does the golden work? What does it do?
The options appear to be limited, based on the specific and repetitive nature of the text itself. How do positional factors play a role in gaining a further understanding? I wish I had a good answer, but I don't.
In playing around, however, there is something of an unusual result that shows up when the VMs glyphs are turned into numbers according to their place in the Seventeen Symbol Sequence found on f57v.
Here is the first part of the outer White Aries segment and the numerical equivalents to the first 'aiin'
olkeeody 1 2 7 16 16 1 3 15
okody 1 7 1 3 15
okchedy 1 7 16 16 16 1
oky 1 7 15
eey 16 16 15
okeodar 1 7 16 1 3 a 4
okeoky 1 7 16 1 7 15
oteody 1 11 16 1 3 15
oto 1 11 1
otol 1 11 1 2
oteey 1 11 16 16
ar a 4
ykooar 17 7 1 1 a 4
aiin <no symbols from 17 symbols sequence>
'a' is a symbol not in the the 17 SS, unless it is a version of 'o'
One thing that needs further clarification concerns the interpretation of EVA c , h, and e.
One thing that might be clarified with a numerical interpretation having to do with the use of EVA h to represent the VMs version of two 'c' s with a bar across them, perhaps 16 + 16 = 32.
So does this produce some type of useful sequence or pattern? It sure looks suspicious. It's certainly not random or coincidental. Perhaps someone has a suggestion. Who can turn the golden key? Better yet, a collaborative solution.
