LOVE, counted, is fifty-four

Placed beside 42 because readers sometimes hope the word LOVE will count to 42. Under this labeled system, it does not.

  1. Observed

    • In a simple English ordinal cipher, A=1 through Z=26.
    • L=12, O=15, V=22, E=5. Sum: 54.

  2. Connection

    Placed beside 42 because readers sometimes hope the word LOVE will count to 42. Under this labeled system, it does not.

    • Mathematical consequence

  3. Interpretation

    Gematria can be done in public if the method is shown. A number detached from its method is not a finding. 54 is not 42 in this system.
