Dear Mr. Hance:

Several sections have urged breaking Radio Silence in light of the fact that " ashton " and " jpepper " are no doubt well-intentioned, but pursing the wrong set of charts vis-à-vis the Hebrew. A field operative has, it is reported, informed you that Offense is never a problem. That is indeed true; feel free to report anything from anyone--grist for the dialectic mill.

What is a matter of concern is that all of you---and Bryan D. Hance in particular--not sail into Scylla and Charybdis. Your friends are (unwittingly and no doubt in good faith) missing the point, which is understandable. The interpretational aspects (especially in regard to the non-Latin-alphabet quotations and citations) are not easily grasped, and that by design. You are not intimately familiar with our opponents and thus do not know of what evil they are capable.

If you were fully informed, it might be very bad indeed for you. Just what could happen, will become more clear with the passage of time. If that strikes you as risible, good. Consider it a joke or [Whatever] and happily pass to other matters. If you did know how to structure the interpretational aspects, you would quickly have attention that would be less than enjoyable--and not from this side.

On the other hand, you are a young man of considerable intensity and presumably desire a greater degree of understanding than the foregoing--and certainly a greater degree than Messrs. Ashton & Pepper. In what we believe is Received Standard English: In the various announcements, there is "melding" of several (apparently) disparate concepts. Two of the (several) components are: Phase Shifts and Qabbalah.

In physics the various participants have a considerable interest--in the Qabbalah, we have none at all--except for the fact that it offers a myriad of contradictory interpretations which are not generally accessible to Aristotelian logic. Some of the (many) interpretations involve a set agenda of numerical interpretations. Our opponents could, of course, gain access to the more widely known letter-to-number correspondences, but the combinatorial aspects rendered feasible by (e.g., geometric) placement within an announcement, especially in the data base (that is, as compared to other, earlier messages) has thus far foiled the loathsome opposition. Even the Pelagians have only a finite amount of computational capacity. Naturally, there are also additional, modifying factors, but to enumerate them at this juncture would bore you.

Now, your friend Ashton, has hit upon an additional, ancillary aspect, when he seized upon "slice" (also analogously known as a "cut")--consider what those terms mean in higher mathematics, especially in regard to Number Theory, etc. That said, then consider the following: apparently conventional statements (references to travel from Point A to Point B, itineraries, etc.) could, obviously, specify what proportion of what component is to be applied to a given Slice of the data base. Thus, it can be completely open (published in your newspaper) and still closed to the foul fiends. Simultaneously, the announcements convey literal messages, exactly as they are written. Remember, under the quadrigae , the first level is always the words (and numbers) as they stand written: "Es steht geschriebt ."

In closing, it should be mentioned that "mistakes" (or in Ashton's case, the perceived mistakes) are not necesarily by happenstance. For example, none of your correspondents has remarked upon the concept of scordatura, yet it is explicitly set forth in one of the May Day announcements. There are several scordature, each of which is computationally significant. (The Nederlands man should help you with this point, for he has symphonic connections.)

Incidentally, Mr. Hance, you should be aware that your some of your correspondents are not entirely well-versed in the Classical languages--which is no reflection upon them, considering the decadent state of education throughout our Western world. Knowledge of the various languages, however, is not necessary to gather the drift. As one of your countrymen said, "You don't have to be a Weatherman to know which way the wind blows."
