An image in memory of a publisher* who reportedly died
on Saturday, August 26, 2017.
He and his wife wrote a novel, The Twelve , that has been compared to
the classic film "Village of the Damned." (See a sequel in this journal.)
For more on the image, see posts now tagged The Finkelstein Talisman.

The late physicist David Ritz Finkelstein on the magic square
in Dürer's "Melencolia I" —
"As a child I wondered why such a square was called magic.
The Occult Philosophy [of Agrippa] answers this question
at least. They were used as magical talismans."
The correspondence in the previous post between
Figures A and B may serve as a devotional talisman
in memory of Finkelstein, a physicist who, in the sort of
magical thinking enjoyed by traditional Catholics, might
still be lingering in Purgatory.

A cryptic note for Dan Brown:
The above dates 11/7/8 and 12/9/5 correspond to the corner-labels
(read clockwise and counter-clockwise) of the two large triangles
in the Finkelstein Talisman —
Above: More symbology for Tom Hanks from
this morning's post The Pentagram Papers.
The above symbology is perhaps better suited to Hanks in his
role as Forrest Gump than in his current role as Ben Bradlee.
For Hanks as Dan Brown's Harvard symbologist
Robert Langdon, see the interpretation 12/5/9, rather
than 12/9/5, of the above triangle/cube-corner label.
(Continued from September 12, 2005)
The previous post contrasted the number-triple 11-7-8 below
with number triples 12-9-5 and 12-5-9.
A perhaps more logical counterpart of the triple 11-7-8, based
on opposite locations of star-points or cube-edges, is
the triple 9-12-5. For a theological interpretation, see 9/12/05.
"Now a little trivial heuresis is in order."
— The late Waclaw Szymanski on p. 279 of
"Decompositions of operator-valued functions
in Hilbert spaces" (Studia Mathematica 50.3
(1974): 265-280.)
See "A Talisman for Finkelstein," from midnight
on the reported date of Szymanski's death. That post
refers to "the correspondence in the previous post
between Figures A and B" … as does this post.
