I. Numeric values of Y-words and word positions

III. Two semicircles

I. Numeric values of Y-words and word positions

1.      It is striking that the letter Y occurs in four two-letter words. Furthermore, each pair is separated by one word, which gives them a concentric symmetry: YE and MY take the positions 15 and 27, the two YT the positions 17 and 25, which make 42 for one pair. The total sum of the 4 positions is 84 = 4*21.

Two more things are remarkable: YT occurs twice as the central word pair, and the first word starts with Y, the last ends with it.

2.      The four words have the following numeric values (NS):

 

YE

YT

MY

147 = 7*21

Remarkably, all four NS are divisible by 7.

As the word positions are symmetrical, we can suppose that Shakespeare wanted the NS of the symmetrical words to be connected as well: 28+35 = 63; 42+42 = 84; 63:84 = 21*(3:4).

Shakespeare obviously wanted to establish a numeric ratio between the word positions and the numeric sum (NS). The ratio 84:147 is 21*(4:7) = 21*11 = 231. If we add up the values of the two concentric pairs, the ratio is (63+42):(84+42) = 105:126 = 21*(5:6). Both ratios are divisible by 21 and the factor 11 has two different compositions.

231 is the sum of the numbers 1-21, the letters of the Latin alphabet.

3.      It looks as if Shakespeare pursued a complex concept which to expound would be too long. I therefore confine myself to two aspects, proceeding mathematically on the basis of the result so far gained.

II. The 4values of Y-words and word positions

1.      If Shakespeare connected the sum of word positions from 1 to 28 with the NS 1242 of the epitaph, the result was 14*29 = 406+1242 = 1648 = 16*103. In this way SHAKESPEARE achieved the NS 103 of his name to dominate his entire epitaph.

If 231 is subtracted from 1648, the factors of the result 1417 are 13*109 which point to the NS 109 of the TENET Cross:

The NS of one TENET is 61, doubled 122. But if the N in the centre is counted only once, the sum is 109. Both sums 109+122 = 231 are identical with the NS 147 of the Y-words + the sum of word positions 84.

2.      What expects us if we extend this double calculation to the FS and the 4values?

3942 = 54*73; 1224:2700 = 54*(23:50)

1068:2874 = 6*(178:479) = 6*657

The NS+FS 2874 is a rare gematric example of 4-digit number which contains the four distinguishable elements of a double-rhombus: 7 points, 8+2 lines, 4 triangular areas.

The total result 3942 is divisible by 54 like the NS 1224 of the epitaph.

3.      We now enter into deeper geometrical implications and the religious mysteries of the epitaph. 72 is the NS+FS of MARIA, 63 the NS of Greek YIOS – son, 178 the NS+FS of IESUS and MARIA.

If we add the two FV1 72 to 1242, 3:5 values yield the result 1314 = 18*73, which is one third of the total result 3942. 73 is the NS of Latin FILIUSson. So MARIA exerts three influences: She effects universal order and harmony, and, by assisting Shakespeare, she gives him her son Jesus.

Accordingly, 2700-72 = 2628 is double the sum of 1314. The number 2628 is very remarkable: It is divisible by 54, which is the sum of 26+28. There seems to exist a deeper sense in Ovid's 26 and Shakespeare's 28 words of their epitaphs, of which Shakespeare must have been well aware. The two numbers can be explained by the composition of the hexagram with its two concentric circles.

We must start with the second number 28. The circle as the basis of the hexagon consists of 3 elements: midpoint, arc, and area. The hexagon itself consists of 25 elements, including the midpoint of the circle. By extending the 6 segmental lines of the hexagon, the hexagram is created:

The extension process adds 24 more elements. If the surplus midpoint serves to draw a second arc around the hexagram, the circular line and the area that is created are additional 2 elements. The area added is double the size of the hexagonal circle area.

4.      If we deal with the NS+FS and the FV1/2 sums separately, the NS/FV-calculation produces the following result:

One curious fact is that the FV 63 of the 4v-sum 122 of (H)YIOS is also its NS. The numbers 45 and 63 are just the NS of what Shakespeare intended the word MY to mean: MARIAE YIOS – Mary's son.

III. Two semicircles

1.      Shakespeare's intention to arrange the four y-words on the beginning and end of two semicircles becomes evident if we look at their 4values:

The NS+FS of YE and MY are the palindromic numbers 56 and 65 which added up amount to 121. Two semicircle symbolize two phases of a total circuit, like day and night, caused by the apparent revolution of the sun. The second phase leads back to the beginning. This can be defined by the first two numbers 1 and 2:

The numbers 5 and 6 characterise the axis of a circle which consists of 5 elements, the midpoint, two circle line points and two radial lines. A singular radius, however consists of a lineal measure delimited by two points. Two radii therefore require two midpoints, the result is 6 elements:

The circle axis creates two elements a semicircle, a semi-arc and one half of the circle area. These 2+2 elements can be represented by the FV1/2 sums 22 of YE and MY, so that their 4v-sums 78 and 87 are again palindromes:

2.      The 5 diametric and 3+3 radial elements are a central religious concern of Shakespeare's: The NS of IESUS is 70 = 2*35 and the NS+FS is 70+36 = 106 = 2*53. If the word MY stands for MARY, the two NS are 35 and 53.

3.      The four Y-words can be arranged on the two semicircles in the following way:

In the first graphic two words mark one semicircle, in the second doublings are removed.

There is a ratio of the left and right NS+FS:
