There are a number of deep mathematical concepts and logic-based proofs that are presented in both volumes which examine numerous subjects in esoteric mathematics and geometry. The following concepts are examined in the text in some depth, many of these ideas being presented for the first time. Experienced researchers may be familiar with some of these concepts already, but these foundations lead into the exploration of the mathematics behind the geometry, behind the markets. Also, some of this information will only make complete sense once other pieces of the puzzle fall in to place later on in the books…
The speed of light is precisely mathematically related to the GOLDEN MEAN = 161.8. The direct relationship may come as a great surprise if you have not seen this before. It will then become clear why the Golden Mean can also be thought of as a Golden Speed. Speed being distance over time (motion), a detailed mathematical framework is offered that unifies the Golden Mean with Light, Time and Motion.
The Speed of Light is shown to be directly proportional to the circumference of the Earth in an exact whole number ratio.
Using pure geometric circle-based mathematics, a ratio calculation is used to extract a numerical cycle from a circle based on the Golden Mean number triad. This will be referred to as the Straker Golden Mean Cycle (SGMC). The circle is then divided into golden mean ratio based ‘units’ and the key single unit to SGMC (in degrees of a circle) is revealed as a result.
If you ponder deeply on how this process is applied, you will see a great truth in the Golden Mean’s relationship with a circle and the growth cycles it produces. This unit is a ‘building block’ harmonically related to the Golden Mean, and offers proof of the validity of the now well recognized and ever present Elliott wave standard wave set: 5 wave impulse set followed by 3 wave retracement set (see works of Ralph Elliott, Jeff Kennedy, Robert Prechter).
All harmonics of the SGMC are then calculated using a matrix of summation triads (triad is a musical term for 3 notes) developed from the SGMC key single unit extracted from the golden mean/circle ratio in the previous step. These harmonics reveal some astounding numerical information and correlations with well-known trading methodologies that will enlighten Gann enthusiasts.
The SGMC harmonic set of degrees is demonstrated to be the numerical basis for the square of nine and presents in mathematical form exactly why any growth sequence comes to a natural end (decomposition). An incredible set of numerical relationships is presented proving the SGMC mathematics is a logic-based reasoning that provides evidence of why the square of nine principle works.
Although somewhat similar viewpoints have been explored before, I believe this is a brand-new way to mathematically examine and prove the Golden Mean connection with the Square of Nine. This deep logic-based insight and incredible viewpoint of market understanding is being openly exposed for the first time ever (to my awareness).
The calculation of the full harmonic degree set is then examined as a composition and decomposition wave with 6 possible harmonics per phase set of triads. The phases are mathematically shown to elegantly solve the movement pattern of the common Elliott Wave Set: 5 impulse + 3 corrective waves.
The same composition and decomposition wave sets derived from the SGMC are shown mathematically to be the basis for completing the musical Octave (OCTave = 8 = 5 + 3) which always results in a ‘squaring of nine’ at the completion of the Octave.
The mathematical reason a ‘squaring of 9’ ALWAYS occurs at the end of a SGMC composition cycle is then clearly presented and explained.
Next, the Speed of sound is shown to be directly proportional to the RADIUS of earth in an exact manner, again the ‘hidden in plain sight’ numerical relationship may shock you if you have not seen it before.
As we will have already proven, the speed of light is inextricably related to the Golden Mean (you will be blown away if you have not seen this before!!). Therefore, by extension the speed of sound is ALSO precisely mathematically related to the Golden Mean and this is shown to be the case mathematically by other means as well.
As many now know, ancient measurements in both time and distance are a function of earth rotation. One DAY is the key natural cycle, being the most important rhythmic cycle we experience throughout our lifetime. As the earth’s circumference is the distance completed by rotation in a circle (cycle), a unified theory that numerically ties together the Golden Mean, Speed of Light and Sound, Natural Cycles and Time and Distance measurements acquired via circular degrees of Rotation is developed.
Using a full cycle (circle of 360 degrees), the numbers representing distance moved over various portions of time by degrees and expressed in minutes and seconds of an arc is also examined for numerical relationships with music. The exact number of minutes in a day, then multiple days of a week (cumulative) will also be examined and again related back to musical frequencies, offering proof that key musical frequencies are harmonically inherent in natural cycles and their measurement by degrees.
The Speed of Sound is examined next for numerical and harmonic significance in relation to the Golden Mean (and by extension Light, Time and Motion!).
The distance in meters per second for the speed of sound will be converted to distance in inches. This number is examined for frequency relationships with music.
Distance will be further examined as inches. This can also be expressed in geodetic feet and inches, yards or nautical miles relating to the circular latitude/longitude circumference measurement of the earth = approximately 21,600 nautical miles. The harmonic value of this is 216, the harmonic language representing 1 rotation of Earth and will become important as we explore the numerical relationships between the Golden Mean, Light, Time, Sound, Motion and Earth.
The distance travelled by sound in inches per second will then be calculated to find out the numerical distance for a full cycle (circle) by multiplying distance per second by number of seconds in a full cycle. The results will be examined in relation to musical frequencies and in particular the relationship between the frequency of the musical note closest to the speed of sound and the frequency relating to the distance travelled during a complete cycle.
Finally, I will present the fully developed conclusion as a brand new Golden Mean based equation never published before: Straker’s Theorem.
Later in the practical applications section of this book, the Straker Golden Mean Cycle (SGMC) mathematical theory will be shown to have a very direct and astounding correlation with the historical cycles research of Hurst, co-validating both pieces of research from a completely different viewpoint.
If that is not enough co-incidence, the same SGMC again accounts for cycle harmonics of the outer planets! Inner planets are left to the reader to discover.
