48. There is no limit to the
possible relevant associations (→). That's the strength of a cosmos based
on implicit relationships (an implex). Primitive Man mastered of
necessity this state of the arts in order to survive. He was
healthy.
The calendar on my kitchen wall has this year noticed (with red
text) at the date March 4 the name Fettisdag
('Fat-Tuesday'). Everyone knows this is the correct day to eat the
delicious cake Semla, a bun with the top part (its 'head') cut off and
raised high in order to make place for a whipped creamy layer
above the sweet center with almond paste hidden inside the lower part of the major
part of the bun below (the 'belly').

... For when the ruler drinks the
sacred offering, he is in
the state of
intoxication Fijians call 'dead from' (mateni)
or 'dead from kava' (mate ni yaqona),
to recover from which is explicitly 'to live' (bula). This
accounts for the second cup the chief is alone
accorded, the cup of fresh water. The god is
immediately revived, brought again to life - in a
transformed state

I cannot remember having spent much thought on why this custom had come into
use. But after the discovery of the associations connected with the name
Diana at the date January
29, my sense of curiousity took over.
Therefore I counted the number of days to spring equinox. This year (AD 2025) came immediately after the leap year
2024 and spring equinox was therefore not in March 21 but in March 20.
|
March 4 |
*16 |
March 20 |
|
→ First
Spout |
→ 2nd Spout |
... Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned
to be on 21 March (even though the equinox occurs,
astronomically speaking, on 20 March in most years) ...
31 + 28 + 4 = 63 (9 weeks) and 63 + 16 = 79 (→
7 * 9 = 63).
But for the moment I will leave this possible piece of the great puzzle aside
in order to instead update my description of the place 214 (→
21 * 4 = 84 Julian equinox) days
before the end of side b on the C tablet.
... Once upon a time there was an old woman
who owned a great potato field (mara) where she planted
her potatoes in spring and harvested them in autumn. She was
famous all around for her many varieties of wonderful potatoes,
and she had enough of them to sell at the market place. She
planted her potatoes 7 in a row, placing her foot in front of
her as a measure from one potato to the next. Then she marked
the place with a bean - which would also give nourishment to the
surrounding potatoes. Next she changed variety and planted 7
more followed by another bean, and this was the pattern she
followed until all her
214 varieties had
been put down in their proper places. She had drawn a map which
she followed and from where each sort of potato could be located
at the proper time for its harvest. I was fashinated, when I
happened to stumble on this Swedish TV program, because my 'once
upon a time' was now and 214 (= 2 * 107) was surely no
coincidence. She knew what she was doing. Let's therefore count:
214 * 7 (potatoes) + 213 (beans) = 1711. So what? Probably
because 1711 = 59 * 29 ...
Here was the star
named Homan (Hero). And I should also document
δ
Cephei (Alrediph, *340.5) which I previously had omitted
to do:

The name Alrediph (δ, *340.5) can presumably be connected
with the name Alderamin (α, *322.9), for this is what
Allen has to say:
"Alderamin, from Al Deraimin of the 'Alfonsine
Tables' of 1521, originally was Al Dhirā al Yamin,
the Right Arm, but it now marks that shoulder.
Bayer wrote it, 'Aderaimin
corrupte Alderamin', Schickard, Adderoiaminon; Assemani,
Alderal jemin; while elsewhere we find Al Derab,
Al Deraf, Al-redaf, and Alredat ... It
culminates on the 27th of September ..."
I need to update my culmination table in order to correct my
date 26th of September to the much more reasonable 27th of September
(day 270):

"It will be the Polaris of the year 7500; while midway between
it and α Cygni lies the north polar point of the planet Mars."
