Mesomath

Forgive me if you have already checked this and I am the last visitor as always, but this is very informative (the ‘special topics’ section in particular).

On-topic:

reciprocal shares the same root with propinquity, afford, priest & first. you mention propinquity in "John Carpenter's The Thing: White War and Hypercamouflage" & recently referred to "God's fifth eye" which is a "night letter"—a shabnameh. since mesomath refers to West & Jay (and may reveal an epiphany), what interests you about the "special topics" specifically?

Think you should wait and see how the napht-nexus unfolds. however, apart from West-Jay connection, the algorithmic nature of Mesopotamian mathematics is a key in understanding the formation of the State’s trading systems (mostly developed by Mesopotamian civilizations), calendaric explorations of time, etc. I have written a part of a long piece on money but couldn’t proceed; now some of these topics gave me many lines to follow (I don’t promise that it will be ready in the next 2-3 months because first of all, it is very long and second it is a bit technical and need careful approaching). Be patient ;)

"The Adept Orders of Decadence trace their system back to the period immediately following the submergence of Atlantis, which they date to 10 000 BC. It is linked to the origin of Sumero-Babylonian geometry, from which we derive the division of the circle into 360 (= 36 x 10) degrees. In the ancient egyptian mysteries it was attributed to the god of catastrophe and drowning - Osiris - who was later symbolized by The Hanged Man of the Tarot (taken by decadologists as an image of the Atlantean Cross)."

reza. would mesh and netspan patterns be on topic here?
