JOHN LOCKE, reverse reduction 42

Placed with the other 42s that survive labeled arithmetic. A name. A count. Not a hidden doctrine of government.

  1. Observed

    • JOHN LOCKE in Reverse Reduction: J8 + O3 + H1 + N4 + L6 + O3 + C6 + K7 + E4 = 42.
    • Ordinal is 93. Reduction is 39. The 42 does not travel across every cipher.
  2. Connection

    Placed with the other 42s that survive labeled arithmetic. A name. A count. Not a hidden doctrine of government.

    • Mathematical consequence
    • Coincidence compatible
  3. Interpretation

    A philosopher's English name can write 42 in one labeled system. That is a specimen. It is not evidence that Locke was counting.

Mechanism

Known mathematical. The sum is reverse reduction. Other ciphers on the same spelling do not yield 42.

How the count is labeled

Latin A to Z Uppercase. Letters kept. Spaces dropped.

Open questions

What kind of coincidence is a historical name that writes the aperture in one cipher only?
