Anywho, how do the forerunner know human math formulas?
Who says it's solely human math?
Erm, the fact that the formulas were written by humans?

The 801 image is tagged as "FRS3_OEL_snpow". Backwards...Leo?
Well, if "snpow" is really "modus" upside-down and reversed, then "OEL" could be 730, which could mean 7/30 (as in July 30th) or 7:30 (as in AM or PM).

FYI

φ for the golden ratio. According to The Curves of Life: Being an Account of Spiral Formations and Their Application to Growth in Nature, to Science, and to Art: With Special Reference to the Manuscripts of Leonardo da Vinci (1914) by Sir Theodore Andrea Cook (1867-1928), page 420:

Mr. Mark Barr . . . suggested . . . that this ratio should be called the phi proportion for reasons given below . . . The symbol phi was given to this proportion partly because it has a familiar sound to those who wrestle constantly with pi and partly because it is the 1st letter of the name of Pheidias, in whose sculpture this sculpture is seen to prevail when the distance between salient points are measured.

[edit... his quote disappeared]

::in reference to file on server 3 "content_overwrite.txt"


on this subject i would like to say that eddies and whorls are associated to turbulance... and that pyrrhic alludes to the Pyrrhic War (280-275 BC) ... the leader was Phyrrus who led a substantially low number of troops to war against the roman empire. a quote from wiki

In both of Pyrrhus's victories, the Romans lost more men than Pyrrhus did. However, the Romans had a much larger supply of men from which to draw soldiers, so their losses did less damage to their war effort than Pyrrhus's losses did to his.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrrhic_victory

... now pyrrhic choice (interpretation) a choice in which one lets the goal overide the cost to get to said goal.
