The background of the following is in the brief article 'The second computer glitsch of 2016'.

On 23 february 2002 I was attacked by what could have been a cerebral haemorrhage that paralyzed my left hand but I believed it was an angel who took me by the hand and led me on to Paris.

Approximately 4449 days later (in the spring 2014) the same happened with my right hand - and my signature soon reduced to what looked like a seismic event on a seismograph. In devanagari 4449 looks like 'ma-ma-ma-pa'. (Or maybe it was 4444).

It is today that I can understand it by Luigi Nono's string quartet "Fragmente - Stille, An Diotima" - which I heard on radio in 1985 - in parallel with my "Stillhetens åndedrag" (2016).

At 04:44,9 in Nono movement 2 there is the end of poem 55 which contains the 'RP' of 'bjørnetjeneste'.

At 04:44,9 in Nono movement 1 it is just at the end of poem 24 - at the onset of the title line 'I nest fart' of poem 25. That makes for RA.....RP.

Half of 04:44,9 is 02:22,4 which in devanagari looks like RA.RA.RP. It is at the end of poem 51.

Where is the last RA - for the SALTER, FALTER, MALTER? It is in poem 39 - 'en far og en datter sykler om kvelden' - at 13:25,8. Can I find out why?

Nono movement 1 is 1823 long: 18 minutes and 23 seconds = 1103 seconds. The second white stone was formed (on basis of the mid stanza of poem 5 - 'We hear it when we yawn' etc) on 10 august 2016 which was 212 days after I started writing the book on 11.1.16 - it took a total of 256 days to write it. The ratio is 212/256 = 0,828125 which multiplies with 1103 for 913,4 seconds = 15:13,4.

The line 'en far og en datter sykler om kvelden' at 13:25,8 = 805,8 seconds which divide with 0,828125 = 973,04 = 16:13,4 - just one minute after the other time point at 15:13,4. The line for this time point is in poem 44 = 'It is the month of july, no, june, what a pity' - ah, one month later - like one minute. But that is when one looks one movement before as well - in Nono movement 2 where this time point 13:25,8 is just at the first line after the mid stanza of poem 6. But that is precisely one poem after poem 5 where the mid stanza gave the shape to the second white stone. This fragment of Nono movement 2 (from 12:43,4 to 12:50,2) is also a little special since it 'sounds like something' - nearly film music, quite exceptional.

Integer units this looks like. The square 'rabbit - mocked by its own behavior...' - which seems to be the 20 seconds from 06:45 to 07:05 in Nono movement 2. The mid 'peak' line tells 'maybe like 23'. Take 23 three times - RA.RA.RP - and you come to #69 = #5 (after wrapover at 64) with its mid white stone stanza. Voila.
