Title: Nero's Number - holy crap this is long!

Have you given up on the thing then? It's such a perverse, fun little code once you know it. I told you that the letters are random and stand for Nothing. Indeed they do! Zero's!! haha! XXD :)

I'm reading a book about the number zero. It is amazing. Three major persons and entities who held up the advance of mathematical sophistication, and thus the advance of science and civilization in history seem to be Aristotle, Pythagoras, Rome/Christianity: They all wrongly abhorred zero.

Without an Aristotle, I think someone else may have done and taught as he did, as Aristotle was merely a symptom of a society who refused to let go of old beliefs to learn new ones, to grow.

Pythagoras seems unique, both a creator of a new way of thought and a severe repressor of anything that threatened his teachings, such as irrational numbers or using zero as a number, because his belief system, a literal cult religion based on thoughts drawn from mathematical/numerical concepts, would fall apart if zero and its implied opposite, infinity, were allowed to become any part of mathematics or philosophical thought.

Rome swept across vast spaces like a plague, eventually bringing the superstitious mind-killing fever of Christianity with it. Rome played a starring part the creation of The Dark Ages.

In society after society, and for century after century, religious belief, superstition and men's pride halted the introduction of zero to the number system and hence advances in philosophical thought, stunting the development of modern mathematical sophistication and the advance of science. Why are old beliefs such precious things?

Oh, BTW, the zero's in my code, "Nero's Number," are important to the code. The letters are just a distraction. I just modified my code yesterday to hide the fact that there were only five digits used - I would include the digits 6-10 in with the letters which masked the zero's and introduced noise. The decoder would know that digits 6-10 had no more bearing than the letters and in fact were also to be used to mask zero's and note their places with the "real" digits 0-4. If A = 001 and Z = 101, you have "ZAZZ" as 101001101101. With zero's masked: 1q1H811p119V. Usually other letters would appear and the 1's wouldn't be so prominent. Any letter at all, and any number over 4 always stands to mark a zero. The word "ZAZZ" looks binary in 1's and 0's but don't let it fool you. Don't worry, if you figure out my code, and I hope you will, I won't be putting you through it all of the time. I use a period at the end of each sequence of coded letters that spell a word.

Here's a phrase to play with: A236z1823891.b22736x42M18934.166b3cW41.

Write out. Replace all letters and all numbers 6-9 with zero's. Seperate each sequence of three digits with a slash and decode by .... how much do you wnt to know about Nero's Number? I can just tell you how to use them if you want, but this is a good start. Nero's Number indeed. Crazy Ass Code. I LOVE that. I love codes, except when I can't figure them out, that is! LOL. I'm not trying to torture you, I promise! XXD Nero's Number is Zero, how many moves he had left once Rome was in flames. Nero was also thought to be crazy, and his name rhymes nicely, huh? The zero's are key ingredient, and are almost impossible to detect, excluded from the number line as in so many times and places, either from ignorance or fear. If faced with a professional code cracker, I would remedy the startling absence of zero's (because they are all masked) and actually allow unmasked zero's fom place to place. As an amateur, however, I prefer to leave it as it is. It's almost poetic. I'm quite proud of it. Think I'll go put it in G Forces in an Elevator, my blog. Later, dude!
