... What meaning can this have for us? For such an understanding between men and men, and other living creatures too, we would need the kind of help King Arthur had at hand: 'Gwryr Interpreter of Tongues, it is meet that thou escort us on this quest. All tongues hast thou, and then canst speak all languages of men, with some of the birds and beasts.' This ability was also attributed to Merlin and Gwyon, those masters of cosmological wisdom whose names resound through the legends of the Middle Ages. In general, all fabulous communication was conceived as having such a range, not merely the Aesopian fable with is flat, all-too-wordly wisdom ...

As a first step in understanding we need to Perceive these Signs. I once upon a time copied the Chinese page below because I could see it was full of Number Signs. I had found it somewhere in Needham:

... As a result of these fruitful ideas from the Chinese early signs for 'female' and 'mother' I decided to read Joseph Needham's monumental 'Science and Civilisation in China' (in 7 volumes) ...

The sum of all humanistic efforts, material, natural sciences and humanistic sciences seems here to have been regarded as similar to the number of nights for the synodic cycle of Venus. It was a complete list of Mankind's manyfold creations.

Presumably this page was meant to convey much meaningful information for the reader. The mind of someone capable of creating such a list would be full to the brim with beautiful ideas. So he could not avoid using them, for they would present themselves (be in front of him) everywhere. We can guess 584 indicated the idea of an encyclopedic whole, the complete beautiful piling ups created by Man down on earth:

Here was the ideal plane, not disturbed (distracted) by any detailed evidence from the sense organs. We can instead expect 584 to be explained by other key numbers.

270 = 9 months counted as 30 days can otherwise be explained as the ideal length for the season from human conception to birth.

... The author of the Book of Enoch in his treatise on astronomy and the calendar also reckoned a year to be 364 days, though he pronounced a curse on all who did not reckon a month to be 30 days long ...

207 + 107 = 314 (→ π) = 584 - 270, can also be explained as 364 - 50 (or as 464 - 150)

Phase of Venus	Observed periods	Periods in the Mayan 'map'	Difference
Evening star	263	250	- 13
Black	8	8	0
Morning star	263	*236 = 8 29½**	- 27
Black	50	27 + 50 + 13 = 90	+ 40
Sum	584	584	0

But for all the other number signs we ought to have an Ollave at hand.

... The ollave in ancient Ireland had to be master of one hundred and fifty Oghams, or verbal ciphers, which allowed him to converse with his fellow-poets over the heads of unlearned bystanders; to be able to repeat at a moment's notice any one of three hundred and fifty long traditional histories and romances, together with the incidental poems they contained, with appropriate harp accompaniment; to have memorized an immense number of other poems of different sorts; to be learned in philosophy; to be a doctor of civil law; to understand the history of modern, middle and ancient Irish with the derivations and changes of meaning of every word; to be skilled in music, augury, divination, medicine, mathematics, geography, universal history, astronomy, rhetoric and foreign languages; and to be able to extemporize poetry in fifty or more complicated metres. That anyone at all should have been able to qualify as an ollave is surprising; yet families of ollaves tended to intermarry; and among the Maoris of New Zealand where a curiously similar system prevailed, the capacity of the ollave to memorize, comprehend, elucidate and extemporate staggered Governer Grey and other early British observers ...
