ASCII Code and Gematria

I am not sure if you are one of the guys, either "initiate" or having met one, or simply having met one searching it on the internet, or having so yourself, who has heard of "gematria by 1" or "by 6" or "by 9".

I met one who, instead of ASCII, recommended me "gematria by 6". If A = 6, B = 12 etc, obviously, getting 666 in "gematria by 6" is like getting 111 in "gematria by 1". Then you multiply by six, if you apply this to each letter, you automatically apply it to the result.

In "gematria by 9" you multiply each letter by nine, and the result you ask in "gematria by 1" is 74.

Gematria by 6 or by 9 have in common with ASCII to get faster to 666 than gematria by one does. However, unlike gematria by 6 or 9, it does not skip values (you cannot get "665, neighbour of the beast" in gematria by 6 or 9, but you can in ASCII). So, how does the ASCII code speed it up?

By weighting. Since 64 = @, and since upper case letters begin after @, ASCII for upper case letters is 64+n for n=1 to n=26. So, you have "gematria by 1" included in ASCII, and you also have the weighting. Any letter that is lower case instead of upper case adds an extra 32. Signs outside the letters also add weighting, like 32 for space, 46 for full stop, also abbreviation dot, 78 (=N) for dot and space.

I'm here in next table and in two examples considering the simplest case, no lower case and no weighting outside letters, just upper case, comparing to "gematria by 1":

A		1		or 64+1		=65		N		14		or 64+14		=78
B		2		or 64+2		=66		O		15		or 64+15		=79
C		3		or 64+3		=67		P		16		or 64+16		=80
D		4		or 64+4		=68		Q		17		or 64+17		=81
E		5		or 64+5		=69		R		18		or 64+18		=82
F		6		or 64+6		=70		S		19		or 64+19		=83
G		7		or 64+7		=71		T		20		or 64+20		=84
H		8		or 64+8		=72		U		21		or 64+21		=85
I		9		or 64+9		=73		V		22		or 64+22		=86
J		10		or 64+10		=74		W		23		or 64+23		=87
K		11		or 64+11		=75		X		24		or 64+24		=88
L		12		or 64+12		=76		Y		25		or 64+25		=89
M		13		or 64+13		=77		Z		26		or 64+26		=90

Why is this weighting of any consequence? Because, with the weighting, how many letters there are affects the result. Take "gematria by 1", the Z can be divided into two M, each M can be divided into FG, GF or A and FF. Z=MM=MAFF. IA can be added to either, as IZA and as MAFFIA. Now, in gematria by 1, as explained, they are equivalent, in below tables, they are 36 each. Because you have IA in each (adds up to 10) and to that you add 26, whether as Z or as MAFF. However, IZA has only 3 letters, meaning the weighting is 3*64. MAFFIA has 6 letters, so the weighting is 6*64. Therefore, ASCII is more specific than gematria by 1:

I		9		9		or 73		070		3
Z		26		35		or 90		160
A		1		36		or 65		220		8

M		13		13		or 77		070		07
A		1		14		or 65		130		12
F		6		20		or 70		200
F		6		26		or 70		270
I		9		35		or 73		340		15
A		1		36		or 65		400		20

IZA and MAFFIA are 228 versus 420, very different sums.

In gematria by 1, the letter Z could be streched to four letters MAFF, the 3 letter word to a 6 letter word, but it is still 36. In ASCII, there are limits to the stretching. In upper case, you can get 666 only by 8, 9 or 10 letters. And in 10 letters, it is hard to get very specific words. CEBABCEBAB would be one example (Welsh spelling for Kebab, upper case, repeated without space).

This leaves basically 8 or 9 letters, plus combinations involving one or more 32's, normally either space, or normal capitalisation or lower case only or lower case only and space. For one space, you could have 8 or 9 letters giving 634. For the rest, it is normally 6 letters, but as they are lower case, it seems less significant.

Anyone who thinks I counted wrong is free to count for himself. Don't bother totally private persons about their letter sum, since "false prophet" is in the market of ideas and "beast" is in the market of politics. Had Nero stuck to the lyre, leaving politics alone, he would have been honorarily Neron Kaisar, but not a pre-figuring of the beast, since a musician isn't.

I have posted news on this or that person, real or fiction or historic, adding up to 666, but I have counted many more gematrias with ASCII than I posted. Most are immediately "declared innocent" (not of every anti-Christian crime, but of being, under that name, either false prophet or beast, supposing both entities have this sum). I did miscount on Tenzin Gyatso, and therefore posted, but then did not withdraw but correct the post when it added up to something else.
