An attempt to explain some of my problems with understanding the phenomenon.
Let's say that this single drawing occurs:
475
In the left column that "4" (or that "B" if you prefer) in the 475 is going to be arrived at through all these relationships approaching it:
Left column:
A
A
B (4)
----
A
B
B (4)
----
A
C
B (4)
----
B
A
B (4)
----
B
B
B (4)
----
B
C
B (4)
---
C
A
B (4)
---
C
B
B (4)
---
C
C
B (4)
Not in those particular orders and not occurring over consecutive drawings either of course. (If only they would!)
They will form in their own specific and logical sequences and progressions according to AV's rules and logic.
******
And then the drawings that come after will have their own relationships with that same "4". Like this:
B (4)
A
A
----
B (4)
A
B
----
B (4)
A
C
----
B (4)
B
A
----
B (4)
B
B
----
B (4)
B
C
---
B (4)
C
A
---
B (4)
C
B
---
B (4)
C
C
Again: Not in those particular orders and not occurring over consecutive drawings (but across spans of drawings).
See all the relationships that exist for that B ("4") coming and going in just a single column? (And of course that goes for any given A and C in the column as well.) They are of course also present in the other two columns. That's why one needs to understand what AV is doing in all three columns to be able to see what is going to be arrived at before it actually gets there.
These very relationships are giving me a great deal of my difficulties with the phenomenon. They're there and they know what they're doing -- but I rarely can follow it long enough to get anywhere.
Each of the three numbers (Remember there are only three now.) are going to be involved in these relationships within the column:
"A" (0, 1, 2) will always have these interval relationships: AA AB AC CA BA
"B" (3, 4, 5, 6) will always have these interval relationships: BB BA BC CB AB
"C" (7, 8, 9) will always have these interval relationships: CC CB CA AC BC
I expressed those in no particular order from left to right -- however they are following their own particular order(s) in the actual drawings (and in either direction).
Those are the relationships that exist for each individual number (or letter) in each column.
As you approach an "A" a "B" or a "C" in just one column you must consider that all those relationships exist within the column and are absolutely important.
This phenomenon thrives on those relationships -- but on all of them in every column.
One is required to understand all of those interval relationships going in both directions in each of the 3 columns as well as between each of the 3 columns or one will have nothing but trouble.
Except for the occasional "magical short-lived glimpse" I get every many months or so I cannot maintain a grip on it. (Slippery as a greased eel it is.)
You know, it just now occurred to me what the more appropriate term for those might be: wouldn't those technically be inversions? (Like in music?)
Be back soon as I can.
