Therefore, in describing the dynamics of space, a new, higher dimensional model was required. In fact, the cube consists of six, inverse pyramids, all pointing inward toward its center. Since this point is the point in the series at which there is no further change in the, growth constant, this would seem to be a reasonable basis for taking 13 periods as, the maximum number of periods by which a reference point and a structuring, point can be separated in order to constitute a coherent waveThere are other, approaches as well that arrive at the number 13 as defining the limit of a coherent, structure. But why six? Moreover, she has employed a brilliant device in the Shakespearean Windows to drive home the connection between Shakespeare, Hiram Abiff, Francis Bacon and herself. Winchester Mystery House. Architects and contractors began building an eight-bedroom house that quickly morphed into a seven-story complex. It is interesting that Wikipedia makes particular note of Enoch Pardee having been a prominent occultist.

But when trying to get a room count, the new owners kept coming up with different numbers. His father was the founder of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company and William, as his only son, would inherit it once he passed away. Here, Sarah has ingeniously incorporated her spider-web design into the architecture as a calculating device functioning both as an instructional tool that shows how her algorithm works, and as a model revealing the fundamental, symmetric structure of the universe. Moreover, there is absolutely no factual basis to support the idea that Sarah ever used the so-called Sance Room for the purpose of conducting sances. This unique backdrop to Sarahs early development played a crucial role which, in essence, defined what would become her lifes work.

Tuberculosis The riddle lay with the worthy ascendant realizing that there is an invisible 13th step that could only be crossed once the door had been opened for him by a divine source from within. Using the Pythagorean Table is a simple matter of matching the letters in a name or word with their corresponding numbers, then adding the numbers together until you have one, simplified number. Which begs the question who was in charge of whom? And, why would spirits have an inability or need to keep track of time? Then, we see the triangles all sharing a 13th piece within the circle. Like Bacon, Sarah uses encryption code to guide us to higher levels of insight. Sarah is exhorting us to rearrange the order of the partitions. Young Sarahs most distinguishing characteristic was that she was everything but ordinary. During a sance with Coons, Sarah was told that because of the many people who had been slain by the Winchester Rifle, she was cursed by the Winchester fortune. One of Francis Bacons many achievements in the field of encryption are his various cipher techniques. Properly aligned Center Window Panes showing the Hourglass.

Also, 13 and 31 possess the unique quality of generating (reverse) palindromic twins when they are squared, i.e. It is not known if Sarah and Escher ever met. And, if someone were to try to describe cubes, spheres and pyramids to us, we would tell them they were crazy. Higher dimensions consist of a unique set of super-mechanics that transcend the limited, box-like structure of length, width, and height. In addition to her writing, Delia Bacon gave numerous public lectures to the citizens of New Haven; thus, New Haven, Connecticut was the actual birthplace of the Bacon is Shakespeare doctrine. The mansion and its grounds are gorgeous examples of Victorian architecture and there are a lot of strange and interesting design elements.

These stunning symmetries derived from the application of the dynamic trio of Winchester prime numbers reveals an underlying unified principle that indicates a transcendental, higher truth is at work. We may well ask what value does higher dimensional mathematics have for us? Thus, 13 is the most coherent, unifying number in the Fibonacci series. The greatest test for the initiate lies in his ability to understand and identify Mrs. Winchesters remarkable mix of symbols and numbered code. Furthermore, her knowledge of the classics (most notably Homer and Shakespeare) along with a remarkable talent as a musician was well noticed.

But, she has done something unexpected. The bedrooms south facing windows overlook a beautiful lawn and garden. Another crucial element Escher and Sarah Winchester shared was their understanding of the unifying nature of the mathematical symmetry which forms the basis for all higher dimensional structure. Unfortunately for Sarah, fortune came with a dark side. The E stands for Exceptional, while the 8, of course, refers to the eighth ordinal point (occupied by the number 13) in the Fibonacci sequence. Furthermore, in addition to the number 111, Sarah adopted the Kabbalistic number 777 as a code number representing the name William Wirt Winchesterwe know this because, in the decade following Williams death, she maintained precisely 777 shares of stock in the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. Then, the process of completing the four triangles renders four sets of the number 13, resulting in 52, which then simplifies to the number 7. Sadly, Sarah and William's infant daughter, Annie, died from a mysterious childhood disease in 1866. Like Bacon, Sarahs use of numbers always leads us to a deeper core of meaning. But then, where are we to find such a book? Escher also saw the reflective images in mirrors as true representations of higher dimensional space. Although Freemasonry has traditionally barred women from its membership, there are numerous documented cases in which some head-strong women have gained admittance into liberal, Masonic Lodges as far back as the 18th Century.

The room is an attic space that has been boarded up since Winchester died in 1922. However, the Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton formulated a system in which the symmetries governing wave function in four dimensional space can be revealed. E (8) x E (8). Voila, one, dynamic level of the symmetry is revealed. And it's said that each night, she visited the Sance Room to speak with the spirits, who weighed in on plans for the house's unusual design. In fact, some of Bacons engravings show him holding books with CLASPS. Sarah clearly uses this device to exemplify Bacons coded message in Psalm 46 of the King James Bible.

Having received more than twenty million dollars in inheritance, Winchester convinces herself she is cursed by the ghosts of those who died at the . Even her will had 13 parts, and she signed it 13 times. However, their approach to higher dimensional expression is remarkably similar. She had 50% ownership of the company and was set for life. Soon after Williams arrival, the Winchesters moved to New Haven where the enterprising Oliver, along with his partner John Davies, founded a successful clothing manufacturing company. America s Most Haunted Places tops the list of TV shows that grossly reinforces the Folklore. Unfortunately, due to an infantile decease known as Marasmus (a severe form of malnutrition due to the bodys inability to metabolize proteins), Annie died 40 days later. She became convinced that she was cursed. As Sarah and Escher saw, the beauty of higher dimensional numbers lies in their simplicity and symmetry.
