6. The ultimate proof of understanding is to see that predictions come true. Therefore the modern exact sciences have been so successful - not until after many repeated trials from other viewpoints (other persons) - which appear always to confirm the same results - will something be incorporated into the current storage for knowledge. But the living presence never stays still forever and therefore the methods of our modern world hard sciences will never work.

Here and now the challenge is to look ahead in the E text from the beginning of its side a to the Sign at the end of line a3, remarkably similar to that at the end of line b3 on the B tablet:

Comparison with the B text has revealed its truncated line number b3 presumably meant someone was 'defeated' in November 27 (331 → 121 + 210 ↔ 141 + 190):

It was a symbol of the emperor Tchoun Hin, in whose reign was a great deluge; but after the Jesuits came in it became Paou Ping, the Precious Vase.

Possibly this person corresponded to the Lono (Rogo) figure because the Hawaiians said his cycle would (ideally) begin in November 28 (332 → 2 * 166).

... The correspondence between the winter solstice and the kali'i rite of the Makahiki is arrived at as follows: ideally, the second ceremony of 'breaking the coconut', when the priests assemble at the temple to spot the rising of the Pleiades, coincides with the full moon (Hua tapu) of the twelfth lunar month (Welehu). In the latter eighteenth century, the Pleiades appear at sunset on 18 November. Ten days later (28 November), the Lono effigy sets off on its circuit, which lasts twenty-three days, thus bringing the god back for the climactic battle with the king on 21 December, the solstice (= Hawaiian 16 Makali'i). The correspondence is 'ideal' and only rarely achieved, since it depends on the coincidence of the full moon and the crepuscular rising of the Pleiades ...

We could try to predict the same pattern by extrapolating from Ea1-1 (November 14) to the end of line Ea3. But immediately we will run into trouble, because November 18 appears already at glyph number 5:

... Another possibility is that Antinous represented a voluntary human sacrifice. Our earliest surviving evidence for this comes from the writings of Dio Cassius, 80 years after the event, although it would later be repeated in many subsequent sources. In the second century Roman Empire, a belief that the death of one could rejuvenate the health of another was widespread, and Hadrian had been ill for many years; in this scenario, Antinous could have sacrificed himself in the belief that Hadrian would have recovered. Alternately, in Egyptian tradition it was held that sacrifices of boys to the Nile, particularly at the time of the October Osiris festival, would ensure that the River would flood to its full capacity and thus fertilize the valley; this was made all the more urgent as the Nile's floods had been insufficient for full agricultural production in both 129 and 130. In this situation, Hadrian might not have revealed the cause of Antinous's death because he did not wish to appear either physically or politically weak. Conversely, opposing this possibility is the fact that Hadrian disliked human sacrifice and had strengthened laws against it in the Empire ...
