"4,10,20 A,b,c,d,e......"
4,10, 20 are tetrahedron (pyramid) numbers. According to OEIS.org, the tetrahedron series starts with 0,1, but the post suggests that the correlation between the letter series (English alphabet) and the tetra #s has "4" equalling "A."
If you correlate the alphabet with this series of numbers, starting with 4... the 17th letter=1140 (makes me think about 11.4); the 26th letter (Z/Omega--equivalent?)=3654; the 21st=2024 (just thought that year was interesting.)
If the six dots (double ellipsis) correlates to a letter, in this approach, then we get "K" and 364.
"K" and "Q" are linguistically very close. In ancient Latin, they are sometimes confused.
So "Milktoast/Milquetoast" may have a significance in the numbers and linguistics.
I don't know if there is meaning behind this, but the correlations were interesting to me.
P.S. I'm not a "math person." Would love to hear from some of you calculators.
Post 40 implied, to me, that 4=A.
4,10,20
A,b,c,d,e......
That's a jump, but okay for theorizing, I think.
Check these associations and numbers please (Hopefully I didn't mess the # sequence up: I got the numbers from a website--I did not verify with equations.)
If A=4 and the sequences are parallel, then:
a=4; b=10; c=20; d=35; e=56; f=84; g=120; h=165; i=220; j=286; k=364; l=455; m=560; n=680; o=816; p=969; q=1140; etc.
As a language person, I thought the double ellipsis might mean the 11th letter in the sequence: K.
Again, in Linguistics the /Q/ and /K/ are close. Like in "Que pasa."
Seemed curious with all the "milk toast" talk going around. Gratias!
