  1. My thinking about the matrix below was designed to address the fact that the symmetry in the matrix reduces the utility of ordering its component cells to find a key to anything. So I addressed that by assembling a book code as follows: Numbers in the matrix used to pick characters from Blake's Urizen
  2. (link at http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/b/blake/william/urizen/) I simply counted characters, excluding spaces and punctuation. Two digit numbers come from the preludium. Three digit numbers from Chapter I verses 1-3. Rune words in the matrix are replaced from rune characters in the Liber Primus, counting runes by page/character with 'A Warning' as page 0, 'Some Wisdom' as page 1, etc - I did not use page/line/character because there are several numbers in the matrix that end in zero, which could not be converted to runes.

  4. Use the matrix below for reference.
  5. 272 138 shadows 131 151
  6. aethereal buffers void carnal 18
  7. 226 obscura form 245 mobius
  8. 18 analog void mournful aethereal
  9. 151 131 cabal 138 272
  10.  
  11. We get:
  12. K R IA/IO N N
  13. L [11 dots] R J I
  14. [,] I AE Y M
  15. I J R [11 dots] L
  16. N N IA/IO R K
  17.  
  18. So drop cells with non-letter characters; we get
  19. K R IA/IO N N
  20. L --- R J I
  21. --- I AE Y M
  22. I J R --- L
  23. N N IA/IO R K
  24.  
  25. Now, we have a non-symmetrical matrix. We also have a matrix with most of the letters of onion in the first and last rows, so a column transposition is a reasonable possibility here. But there are still 3 too many characters here for an onion address, so I think this is a dead end and that I was just seeing patterns.
