Horace and chinese radicals

John Bjarne Grover

Abstract: The study presents a comparison of the entire work of Horace relative to the author's own poetry work 'Der Dornenstrauch' - 'eine Studie in poetischer Mystik' - of 440 poems and concludes that it is possible to find in this an interesting correlation for most or all of Horace's work. Since 'Der Dornenstrauch' also is a surprisingly precise parallel to the 214 chinese 'Kangxi' radicals (counted up and down again = 214 * 2 = 428 poems for the 214 radicals), it is conjectured that the work of Horace can be subjected to the same comparison along the distribution found in the comparison with 'Der Dornenstrauch' - and the study presents an exact concordance table showing that each and every part of Horace finds a correlate in a chinese radical, thereby allowing for a principled explanation to the historical forms and semantic interpretations of the chinese signs. The corollary follows how this even can lead to conjectures on the historic development of meaning elements of the chinese signs back to oracle bone origins. Some examples of the comparisons are discussed.

Horace and Der Dornenstrauch

In my "Der Dornenstrauch" (= 'DDS'), written in 2009-2015, there is my poem DDS #136 which contains a puzzle in the form of the socalled 'Rüste': It looks like a board going vertically on the outside of the wooden ship for reinforcing the conjunction of the parallel horizontal boards that constitute the hull of the ship, and it is therefore natural that this board can touch the ground under the boat when it comes close to the coast. However, for once, such a vertical board is natural on the inside of a boat but not, even if possible, on its outside. Secondly, this is not what a 'Rüste' really is: Traditionally a Rüste - probably the same word as 'armament' - is a horizontal side-board on the outside of a ship over which the ropes from the mast are running for being attached to the outside of the ship under this Rüste, but from my poem that looks puzzling: How can such a 'Rüste' come to my 'tiefem Grunde'? Hasnt the poet mixed up horizontal and vertical boards on the shipside? There is the rescue for the poet in the phenomenon of a 'Rüste' on the 'Kohlenmeiler' whereby the Rüste is at the root of the burning heap - and then it makes sense - but then the element of water is replaced with fire and the inside is outside and vice versa.

It was when I leafed in the Reclam edition of Horace's work that I found on p.788 the following illustration to Horace's Epode #10 - the woodcut illustration from the 1498 edition of Horace:

This clearly is about just this phenomenon - of the vertical and horizontal boards of the ship's outside, the ropes from the mast, and I looked up the Epode #10 for a comparison with my DDS #136 - and was impressed by the esthetic value of the parallelism between the two poems.

I notice also the 'boxed word' in the righthand side of the unit of two halves of the ship - as for the 'boxed word' WELCOME in my DDS #126 - on a significant turning point of the book. DDS 126-136 - there are 10 poems between them. Champollion reportedly deciphered the hieroglyphs by way of the boxed words.

From this I decided to check for a parallelism of my DDS with Horace's work in general - and the results I tell of in this article suggest that the latin poet can be seen to have explored the principles of seriality/ordinality or order (or 'wellorderedness') which also surface in chinese radical mysteries relative to my DDS.

In fact it seems that Horace's entire work - his Odes, Epodes, Satires, Epistles and Art of poetry - can be matched systematically onto my DDS for a complete parallelism between his full (extant) work and my full DDS. This emerges when one can use the chinese radicals as a metric of comparison - and it is from this that one can draw the conclusion that Horace's work can be systematically aligned against the chinese radicals - which means a principle of logical ordinality.

To study this in more detail it is necessary to consider the structure of my DDS - see this file for a more detailed discussion and this file for a briefer overview under 'The structure of 'Der Dornenstrauch'' of which I repeat the main outlines here:

My poetry work 'Der Dornenstrauch' was written in the years 2009-2015, generally from beginning to end. It consists of 440 poems in four parts:

Part I    = 294 poems in four parts: Hunde, Grenze, Baum, ROP
Part II   =   66 poems - Vorwort + 64 poems of 14 lines + Nachwort
Part III  =   64 poems of 16 lines
Part IV  =   16 poems of 20 lines

Part 1 has two enumerations (see the concordance table): The RELATIVE enumeration from 1 to 187 contains many illogical 'subtrees' - such as 107, 107a, 107b ... 107g, 107ga, 107h ... 107p, and some numbers are even lacking (110 does not exist). The ABSOLUTE enumeration assigns just a new number to each poem successively from 1 to 294. I associate the relation between these two enumeration systems with chomskyan phrase structure - the subtrees have a meaning and function which are telling of the human psyche and are not just any concentration of elements in subgroups.

The 440 poems of Parts I-IV have been shown to correlate with the 214 chinese Kangxi radicals - primarily in the absolute enumeration 1-214 but secondarily also in the mirror set 215-428 - mirroring down again from #214 to #1. The remaining 12 poems are not used (but see mention below).

In addition to this formal structure of my four-part work (2009-2015), it is important to observe the role of the 'responses' from nature or its reality form which followed the completion of the last three of these - and from these to make a conjecture on the first. After the completion of the second part there was the story of the graphic elements, one of which constitutes the cover illustration to my own DDS edition: I was standing looking into the bathtub and suddenly a 'maya screen' seemed to part before my vision and a small scroll of some gauze-like material on a wooden pin was washed into an ocean coast in the lower part of the tub (near the drainhole) after which 3-4 black spots took shape on the white enamel of the tub. One of these suddenly detached and ran like a small black spider up the bathtub wall, but inside a droplet of water, like an astronaut in a glass bowl. I took an artist's palette knife and tried to rub one of the black spots (later understood to be a piece of mystic matter behind the maya screen) off the enamel - the rub or scratch left some black stuff on the metal blade which I smeared on a microscope glass - but I had to stop the scratching when a deep canyon seemed to open under the palette knife and exposed 'a deep ratch' in the enamel underneath. (This later healed and the tub was soon normal again). The black stuff that I had smeared over the microscope glass could then be put under a microscope or magnifying glass and photographed - it exposed a series of 'magic illustrations's one of which came to be the cover to my book. Another one was the magic view of James Joyce with rollerskates reading in a sofa - this later dried up on the microscope glass and was turned via the intermediate mirrored form into the 'indian' in a process which seems to have added extra and probably ex nihilo matter onto the form (see the difference by the hand pointing towards the mouth) in order to make for a 'humanoid' shape - see the comment on this below - as if it had been adjusted by the principles of a Schimmelbild. The cover illustration to my book

shows on the front page a three-partite shape which seems to be composed of 1) the archetypal singer ('Caruso', sort of), 2) possibly a breasted 'fenris-wolf' or dog with a mouse sleeping peacefully in its mouth, and 3) the running horsehead suddenly coming into a lightbeam while running in darkness. Turning this illustration 90 degrees (see the end of this article discussion on the four turnngs of the the 'indian' explaining the relation between Horace and Kangxi radical 95) there emerges what looks like a singing dog and a woman playing either a violin or a fish/mermaid tail and a big birdlike angel touching her like in the beginning lines of Rilke's Duino elegies:

Wer, wenn ich schriee, hörte mich denn aus der Engel
Ordnungen? und gesetzt selbst, es nähme
einer mich plötzlich ans Herz: ich verginge von seinem
stärkeren Dasein. Denn das Schöne ist nichts
als des schrecklichen Anfang, den wir noch grade ertragen,
und wir bewundern es so, weil es gelassen verschmäht,
uns zu zerstören. Ein jeder Engel ist schrecklich.

On the back side of the book one can see symbols of the three ancient languages that constitute evidential matter for the understanding of my DDS: Chinese (the poultry in the circle), vedic sanskrit (the gaping noseless form) and hebrew (the gauze bottle - which is a photo of the scroll added to the illustration later). See this file (search for 'Rigveda 1-11-8') for some comments on the relation between vedic sanskrit and hebrew interpreting the odd grammatical forms in my work (the 'noseless' forms). It is the chinese which is the essence of the present study relative to Horace's work: The chinese Kangxi radicals from 1-214 follow my poems in absolute enumeration 1-214 in part I called 'Kinderhilfe', hence about 'Aufziehung' = counting or 'pulling' ordinals up from 1 to 214. It is the principle of ordinality which probably is the same in Horace's work and which allows for the compilation of the concordance table given below.

This being the description of what happened at the end of the writing of part II in my book, there is the story of what happened at the end of part III: That is when the assumed 'lapis philosophorum' took shape in my kitchen sink. (Another 'lapis' took shape while I was writing the white-metre book some years later). Finally there is the story of the end of part IV - when I wrote the last dot at the end of the last line in the full work, the end of part IV - what happened then? Then Mount Everest trembled (by an earthquake in Nepal) and shook dozens of mountaineers down in avalanches from the epaulettes of of snow on its shoulders. This leads to the question what happened at the completion of part I: This is a little more difficult to time since the main bulk of this part (of 294 poems) was written between the end (december) of 2009 and the end (december) of 2011 - and another poem - the last of relative enumeration #187, which is absolute enumeration 291 - was added on 7 january 2012 - while the last three (the Nachwort of 292-294) were written in november 2013. In the mean time, the story goes that I in probably about mid november 2012 had sent my poem TEQ #613 to Swami Divyanand in Herrischried after having read volumes 2-3 of his inspired Rig-Veda translation 'Vedamrit' planned to be in 80 volumes. I made 2-3 special print copies of my 'A deep ratch' = book 10 in TEQ wherein this poem is #8 out of the 88 poems in the book. I sent the book to Divyanand with special mention of the poem TEQ #613. It is later that I can recognize the 'Heelmuriband, Downtrack and Saw' as 'Endmorgan, Dornenstrauch and SÅ', the last being short for 'Stillhetens Åndedrag'. (See also Tiepolo's "Triumph of Flora" for a relevant account of the metaphysics in my poem).

What happened as the completion of part I? What happened after I had sent the book to Divyanand was that there some time later appeared a very strong and somewhat awe-inspiring impulse going through the spiritual space, and this impulse was repeated some time later, on 10 february 2013 - and the news followed that pope Benedict had announced his resignation in the early morning thereafter, on 11 february 2013. (The interval between the days 23-24 january 2000 when I wrote the poem and the days 10-11 february 2013 of the second strong impulse and the pope's resignation is 5132 days). Hence if this story be seen as the end of part I, these are the elements:

Part I
Part II
Part III
Part IV        
-         pope's resignation
-         graphic form (scroll and book?)
-         lapis philosophorum
-         Mount Everest trembled (the big 'white stone')

The story of Moses and the burning thornbush is the jewish counterpart to the christian holy communion.

My TEQ can be thought of as 'the climbing of the mount of mystic enlightenment' and the four metres (blue, red, yellow, white) are the way down again. TEQ is written by way of inner poetic articulation, and when it came to the yellow and white metres, these had turned around from inside to outside for the inspiration of the poet to come from observable sources in the historic reality - which means that the poet conceived of himself as living in a poetic revelation. This poetic revelation could then have been the externalization of the inner poetic articulations of TEQ. (I first heard the word 'externalization' from Henrik Sinding-Larsen). See more on this below - under 'Der Dornenstrauch' as a 'poetic revelation in history'.


The alignment of Horace and my Dornenstrauch

Of essential value for understanding the alignment of Horace's work against my DDS is the role of the 'petrification' at the end of part III. I had written part II as 12-liners and had passed 64 of those and were into the 70 and some such 12-liners when it came to a halt and I decided to divide the last poems (from #65 onwards) into rhyming couplets that could be appended to the end of the 64 first 12-liners - thereby turning them into what looked like a sort of shakespearean sonnets. As I embarked on part III, I had plans of a large number of poems which I wrote as 'shakesperean sonnets' (in fact I thought of this as a new book of type which could be called an 8000-metre for a mountaineer - like the 365 poems of 14 lines in my 'POLAKK English Bloggi' = 'PEB', the socalled blue metre) but when I had written 77 of those and was into #78, it came to a complete halt and I had to give up and (as with part II) reduce even these to 64 by appending two lines to the end of even these. It was in the process of this reduction from 77,3 poems to 64 that the 'lapis philosophorum' took form probably 'ex nihilo'.

This role of the 'petrification point' is essential for understanding the relation between Horace's work and the chinese radicals that follow my DDS. In the course of the work with recognizing Horace in my DDS, I concluded that his Satires would correspond to my part III - and that means up to the petrification point. However, there are naturally two such petrification points: One is at the end of part III, the other is in part I in the poem of relative enumeration #77,3 = one third (line 5 of its 17 lines) into poem #78 (search this file for '#78'). That is absolute enumeration #111. This turned out to have a high relevance in the mapping of the 2121 lines of Horace's Satires onto my DDS: I took the ratio 64/77,3 (of the reduction process when giving final form to DDS part III) and multiplied this ratio with the 2121 lines which gives 1756 lines against the remaining 365 lines. I then divided the 365 last lines (corresponding to the poems 65-77,3 of the original form of part III) evenly over the 64 poems of part III, corresponding to the process of reducing 77,3 to 64 leading to the 'petrification') up to the second petrification point, and the first 1756 lines I distributed evenly over the poems up to the second petrification point at part I relative #77,3 = between the poems of absolute enumeration 110-111. The two petrification points in the scheme of the mapping between Horace and my DDS - discussed in more detail below - then looks as follows (see here for the scheme) - the two petrification points then occur after the evenly distributed 1756 lines of the Satires for the first petrification point and after the remaining 365 Satire lines for the second:

It is understood that the two petrification points - cp. the two strong impulses in the spiritual space before the pope's resignation - have a strongly defining role to play in the relation between the two works.


The Odes and Epodes

These are aligned with my DDS on basis of the correlation described above for the woodcut of 1498 for Epode 10 relative to my DDS #136 = absolute enumeration 225. From this Epode #10 at absolute enumeration 225 I count forwards to Epode #1 on absolute enumeration 216 = chinese radical 213, which is close to the turning point at 214 for absolute enumeration 215-214. Taking it that the Odes reflect the Epodes, the 103 Odes will in fact fill in exactly from absolute enumeration 213 down to the first petrification point at the end of the 1756 Satire lines - at poem of absolute enumeration 111. This means that there is the end of the 214 Kangxi radicals at DDS absolute enumeration #214 if each Kangxi radical is aligned against each poem of absolute enumeration - there it turns on 214 and counts the radicals down again from 215 to 428. Hence DDS absolute enumeration 214-215 will be the last radical, and the Epodes from 216 and forwards will have their reflex or mirror in the Odes: That is when the exact interval of 103 Odes between the end of the Satires and this turning point of the last radical #214 has some evidential value. It is, so to speak, the reason why Horace wrote or rather published just 103 Odes. The Odes of Horace are in four books, related here to DDS in absolute and relative enumeration:

Horace
Carminum Liber I
Carminum Liber II
Carminum Liber III    
Carminum Liber IV

= 38 odes    
= 20 odes
= 30 odes
= 15 odes
DDS absolute    
= 111-148
= 149-168
= 169-198
= 199-213
DDS relative    
= 78-107h
= 107i-109i
= 109j-114j
= 114k-124

This means that the Odes in their parallelism with my DDS start on precisely the poem of the Guadalupe Madonna with relative enumeration #78 = absolute enumeration #111 - see also this article - that is, precisely on the point of 'petrification' in DDS part I corresponding to the formation of a 'lapis philosophorum' in the writing of DDS part III.

This petrification point 1 will therefore be the beginning of the Odes - and the end of the first part of the Satires. See discussion below of examples of how the characters shown in the surroundings of the Madonna's eyes exhibit a peculiar relevance for the chinese radicals.

Between these Odes and the Epodes there will be the two poems DDS rel #125-126 = abs #214-215 = Kangxi radical #214, which then conjecturally would correspond to Horace's Carmen Saeculare, including the boxed word WELCOME (in rel #125, that would be). In the illustration from 1498 there is a box on top of the righthand side of the ship. The 17 Epodes then start on rel #127 = abs #216 = Kangxi radical #213 and end on rel #142xa = abs #232 = Kangxi radical #197.


The epistles

Horace's work consists in the Odes (Carmina - including the Carmen saeculare), Epodes, Satires, Epistles and De arte poetica.

The odes have been shown to be 'Der Dornenstrauch' = DDS abs I:111-213 while the epodes are DDS abs I:216-232. It was shown that the satires are equivalent to DDS III which ended in a petrification mystery and thereby they fill in DDS I:1-110 which ends in the principle of petrification described in this article. Then what are the epistles?

What remains is DDS part I abs enum 233-294 and DDS part II which is 66 poems - one Vorrede, 64 poems and one Nachrede. It is 'the same' as DDS III of 64 poems - but with two poems attached. It seems to be this '2 poems' which is the epistles.

'Carmen saeculare' here fills in the gap between the odes and the epodes - between radical 213 up and 213 down - that is, poems abs #214-215.

What remains of DDS part I after the epodes (abs 216-232) is just 62 poems: 294-232 = 62 poems. A solution is to see these as the mirror to 62 of the 66 poems of part II.

The epistles are in two books - the first with 20 epistles = 1006 lines and the second with only 2 epistles = 486 lines - once again this '2 poems'.

My solution was therefore to divide the 1006 lines of the 20 epistles of book 1 into 62 and divide these over the two parts of my book. That gives 16,2 lines of Horace per poem of mine.

The remaining 2 epistles can of course conveniently be considered relative to the 2 groups of 2 poems on each side of part II - and to the two strong spiritual impulses. What are their solution? The two remaining Epistles are 'To Augustus' and 'To Florus' - and the above reference to Tiepolo's "Triumph of Flora" is obvious: Indeed this artwork on what is behind the maya, another metaphysical reality, is well captured by the opening gap of the form of radical 134 = 臼, and hence one naturally ascribes Epistle II:i (which contains many such potential references to Tiepolo's artwork) to radicals 134-133 = 臼-至. There is an opening gap or 'opening door' (of the sanskrit-hebrew diachrony) also in radicals 70-69 = 方-斪. It was Epistle II:ii:44-45 that suggested to me that my 23 photos could be of relevance for understanding the logic in the manner of the chinese film from the 1960's - and there seem to be two ways of doing this: Either dividing the epistle into 22 segments from beginning to end, or dividing it into 23 elements spread out over the 216 lines. My 23 photos even recognizes this in the displacement of photos 18-19. It seems that the logic follows the relation of the Bhagavadgita relative to my PEB - and I therefore start the mapping at photo #7 which I recognize in line 125 - for the role of the cyclops described above. With this as starting point, the rest follows automatically. With a divison into 23: 7 = line 125 (from beginning to end of line 125, that is), 8 = 134,4 (that is, from e.g. line 133,4 = 0,4 into line 134 onto line 134,4 = 0,4 into line 135), 9 = 143,8 etc up to 23 = 59,3, 2 = 68,7, 1 = 78, 3 = 87,4, 4 = 96,8 etc. With division into 22 segments: 7 = 125, 8 = 134,9, 9 = 133,7 etc 16 = 213,4, 17 = 7,2, 18 = 17, 19 = 17 (here is the repeat, the parallel = 方), 20 = 26,9 etc. It is natural to assign the division with 22 vs 23 to radicals 70 vs 69. There is a sensational similarity of the chinese film at the image at 00:55:51 with my photo #13: It is for the division with 22 the line "Cur alter fratrum cessare et ludere et ungi / praeferat Herodis" whereby I notice that latin for 'raft' (apparently on fire - or is it like that thornbush?) is 'ratis' and hence there is a 'fratrum/f-ratim kissare' etc in the relevant Horace line. One can of course speculate on a phonological (surface) reference in the one and a semantic in the other. See also the two alternatives for photo #12 - line 172 (for division with 23) = "Sit proprium quidquam, puncto quod mobilis horae" or line 174,1 (for division with 22) = "Permutet dominos et cedat in altera jura. / Sic...". For the hebrew fragment in parallel with the poem TEQ #613 above, see the 'anglophony' of the hebrew relative to Tiepolo when עמלק derives from עמל which means 'toil, fruit of labour' having an anglophonic spoon in Tiepolo in the form of the 'foil, truth of labour' - this is interesting in light of the obvious 'spoonerisms' in Tiepolo's metaphysics when the two persons to the left relate 'with X in CO' to the two main female characters of the other reality. Whether there are such spoons also in Horace's latin, I dont know. Anglophony seems to be an important parametre in 20th century political history.


De arte poetica = The art of poetry

This work of Horace should then expectedly be a variant of DDS IV. Could be it is, but there is a simpler interpretation of it. My DDS contains 440 poems and 'De arte poetica' contains 476 lines. It seems that there is some sophistication in the simple one-to-one reading of the poems in absolute enumeration with the lines of this work.

The 440 DDS poems against the 476 Horace lines leads natural attention to line 440-441 of Horace:

440: bis terque expertum frustra, delere iubebat
441: et male tornatos incudi reddere versus

440: If, after two or three vain trials, [...], he would bid you blot it out
441: and return the illshaped verses to the anvil.

In fact it happened on 1 january 2021 that my PO Box was closed and many months of post therein was 'returned to sender', while one month later there was a coup d'etat in Burma (not 'Bumra[ng]' - returning to sender!). Whether this could have anything to do with this relation between Horace and my book, I dont know. 'Hora ti[l/u] 'S'' = 'the whore of [u]S' for 'he done i[s]t[e]' is probably not a reason.


Examples of my DDS aligned with Horace

For a comparison with my DDS, I here refer to some of the poems from DDS which are already found in other articles on this website.

1) The article 'Logical order' contains these:

DDS rel #107b = DDS abs #141 = Ode I.xxxi
DDS rel #107e = DDS abs #144 = Ode I.xxxxiv
DDS rel #91 = DDS abs #124 = Ode I.xiv
DDS rel #113f = DDS abs #187 = Ode III.xix
DDS rel #109a = DDS abs #159 = Ode II.xi

2) From the article 'Anomalism in a new esthetic space':

DDS rel #111b = abs #172 = Ode III.iv
DDS rel #114c = abs #191 = Ode III.xxiii

3) From the front page:

DDS rel #61 = DDS abs #76 = Satire II.ii.73,3-89,2.
DDS rel #74h = DDS abs #97 = Satire II.iii.272,5-288,5
DDS part II:30 = DDS abs #325 = Epistle I.ix.9,3-x.12,5
DDS II:59 = DDS abs #354 = Epistle I.xviii.107,9-xix.12,1
DDS part III:21 = DDS abs #381 = Satire II.vi.72,4-77,7


Alignment of Horace with the chinese radicals

Now for the essential theme of this study - the conclusion that since Horace can be aligned principly against my DDS and my DDS runs in systematic parallel with the chinese radicals, it follows that one can make a systematic concordance between Horace and the chinese radicals.

What is interesting is that it seems that the work of Horace distributed as in such a concordance table (based on my DDS) - see the end of this paper - seems generally to tell the graphic form of the chinese radicals in the first half and the semantic form of these signs in the mirror fragment in the second half. (But not always - see the below observations on the Guadalupe data).

It seems that the fragments in the first half tend to expose not only the graphic properties of the radical sign but also and most interestingly the historic development of the sign from the earliest attested forms ('oracle bone') in the beginning to the forms of the modern day - or of the times of Horace around the birth of Christ.

What is an interesting question - which perhaps Horace can be used to find a solution to - is whether the same applies to the semantics of the signs - that is, whether the fragments of Horace also could be used to lend cues to a hypothesis of the semantic development of the signs. I have not followed up this theory in the present study, also since it would be quite speculative within the present limited framework, but indeed that is an idea which could call for deeper studies of historic material - whether the semantic values of the earliest stages of the chinese script can be reconstructed on basis of the work of Horace.

For this question, I point also to the few comments I have made of a possible match and refinement of the semantic interpretation in the second mirror half in the fragment adjacent to the graphic interpretation in the first half - such as the example of radical 116 which has its graphics in Ode I.vi and its semantics in the mirror fragment of Epistle I.v.28,6-vi.13,8 - and this semantics seems to receive an interesting update by the semantics to the adjacent Ode I.v - which could lead to interesting corollaries for the syntagm-paradigm theory of my fundamental theorem of linguistics - in the simple idea that 'logical order is the same as semantic assignment'.


Discussion of some examples

See this 'wikipedia' article for an overview of and links to the 214 Kangxi radicals which are discussed in the following.


RADICAL 116

RAD 116 = 穴: = 'hole, grave, cave' etc

Graphics = Ode I.vi which tells of the imitation of the graphics in the radical, assuming that it is a stylized bird with downfolded wings in early forms and outstretched wings in the current times, telling the diachrony of the sign. There are five stanzas in the ode: The first describes the left wing, the second the 'muscle' under the left wing, the third the little 'head' on top (where the 'talent' is but not much muscle), the fourth and fifth are mirror symmetries to the second and first.

The semantics = Epistle I.v.28,6-vi.13,8 where one finds all the essentials in the story of Odysseus in Song 9 in the cave of the cyclops and how the cunning hero escaped with his men bound underneath rams (appr. Song 9:425f) flanked symmetrically by another two rams which the cyclops touched like Isaac on the fur of Jacob's arms. It could be the archetypal CAVE - echoing perhaps the story with Calypso.

However, in Horace it is not really Ode I.vi that tells of a cave, it is the immediately preceding Ode I.v (for radical 115 = 禾 = 'grain, cereal, rice plant') which tells of a CAVE, a grotto, for the flirt which in its literary form could be recognized in Leonardo da Vinci's Madonna in the grotto (source Zöllner) - in which one can recognize the graphic shapes of radical 115 in its historical forms - such as the early oracle bone form or the modern form of the radical sign. It can perhaps be conjectured that da Vinci's artwork contains the main forms of this sign in its historic development.

Hence the SYNTAGM (= 'logical order') of Ode V:5 → Ode V:6 tells of the step SEMANTICS ('cave, grotto') → GRAPHICS while the PARADIGM of the symmetric Ode V.6 → Epistle I.v.28,6-vi.13,8 (= 'semantic assignment') tells of how this syntagm is recognized in the paradigm - and how culture develops in historic TIME in the logic of the blue metre: This story of Odysseus escaping the grotto of the cyclops is just precisely the PEB 190-191 (if my dating of the Odyssey is right, which it consequently seems to be) wherein the number 190 is told in PEB #191:

I was cautioned
by the society.
Folks were portioned
at 190.

In the parallel from Genesis there is the story of Noah sending out birds on their wings to see if the waters had dried up.

This relation of SEMANTICS and GRAPHICS tells of how, by the fundamental theorem of linguistics, logical order (115-116) is the same as semantic assignment (across the mirror symmetries).


RADICAL 204

RAD 204 = 黹 = 'to do needlework' = Epode x - the one discussed by the woodcut illustration of 1498 in the beginning of this paper - on this poem = relative enumeration #136 = absolute enumeration #204 (as the mirror to #225).

The graphics to this radical 204 would be in Ode IV.vi which supports the assumption of a graphic diachrony of the sign - such as in stanza 5 which could be relevant to the small seal script form (like a mother with children hiding under her skirt), or struggling Achilles in the bronze age form.

The semantics to this sign 'to do needlework' is in Epode x which tells of the things going up and down (e.g. of the surface of the sea), like the needle in the linen of embroidery.


RADICAL 20

The tentative subdivision lends a very satisfying result for the testing of radical 20 since it seems to provide an independent proof that the characters derived from analysis of the Guadalupe Madonna's eyes are authentic and relevant:

RAD 20 = 勹 = basically 'to wrap' = the sign studied in this file under "The fourth stanza":

The table tells that the radical 20 is found under Satire I.iii.48,3-64,3 and under Satire II.vii.105,6-111. It is the latter of these which provides very interesting material for assessing the authenticity of the Guadalupe character:

                                    ... obsonia captas?
Nempe inamarescunt epulae sine fine petitae.
Illusique pedes vitiosum ferre recusant
Corpus. An hic peccat, sub noctem qui puer uvam
Furtiva mutat strigili: qui praedia vendit,                         110
Nil servile gulae parens habet? Adde, quod idem

It tells that the feet refuse to carry the body. It mentions a slave who has stolen something, like a thief with a sack on his back, and on the the upper part of the back of the body there seem to be traces of a 'grape' that interacts with a 'comb' or is it 'flesh-comb' somehow? It looks very precise to the description of Horace for outlining the graphic form of the sign - resembling the sack on the back like on a thief, here sitting on the ground.

No doubt, this is the graphic half of the sign, even if it is in the second and mirror half - and notice that the Guadalupe character must generally be mirrored before they are recognized in a chinese sign - this 'double mirroring' thereby resembles the phenomenon discussed under radical 116 above - whereby 'logical order is the same as semantic assignment'. However, the typical semantic description should then be in Satire I.iii.48,3-64,3. Indeed this looks like a description of the impression which the Guadalupe reconstruction gives of the character, the psychological type, of the young man sitting on the ground and holding his rucksack. The description in Satire I.iii.48,3-64,3 seems to be a discussion which encircles this character type (in contrast to the idea that it could have been a thief, which it clearly is not) in a manner which could be said to be to wrap the impression up by way of the discussion, to encompass it - and hence the discussion is the semantic interpretation of the radical - it enwraps or encompasses it.

The two fragments of Horace seems to be sufficient proof that the character of the Guadalupe 'tilma' is authentic. Eureka!


RADICAL 5

RAD 5 = 乙 = 'the second = 2nd;', 'the first copy', 'ethanol' etc.

This is another impressive proof of the relevance of this subdivision of Satires over the chinese radicals in the correlate it provides for the radical 5: The first part is under Satire I.i.63,9-79,8, the second under Satire II.viii.68,2-73,5.

The story is told in this file, including the falldown to the ground. I looked not in a money-safe but in a postbox etc.

This story of the avatars seems also to be told in Shijing #114 - there even the police follow the story I could tell, although I could not find mention of the police in these fragments of Horace.


RADICAL 54

RAD 54 = 廴 = 'long stride', 'to stride'

The scheme tells this to be at Satire I.viii.36,1-ix.2 for the graphic description and at Satire II.vi.40,1-45,5 for the semantic. To take the latter first, there is no doubt that 'long stride' or only 'to stride' is a simple reading of this fragment. It is the first of these which tells the graphic shape and again it is the Guadalupe character (from this study) who gives the answer. The graphic shape of 廴 is well described by the white beard (see also the historical forms of the sign), and the story from the avatars can be taken to be telling of the slanting posture of his head when I looked into the postbox.


RADICAL 30

RAD 30 = 口 = 'mouth, entrance, gateway, hole, port, perimetre, government organ, department'

I have identified Juan Diego on the tilma as MING = 命 wherein the relevant radical is #30, even if #26 is interesting in addition.

The semantics should be Satire II.vii.52-57,3

Tu cum projectis insignibus, annulo equestri
Romanoque habitu, prodis ex judice Dama
Turpis, odoratum caput obscurante lacerna,                         55
Non es quod simulas? Metuens induceris, atque
Altercante libidinibus tremis ossa pavore.
Quid refert,

wherein the perfumed head with the cape-hut on top is particularly interesting as well as the entrance through the gateway.

However, the sign MING = 命= 'the will of God' contains also (under the 'roof') the element RADICAL 26 = 卩 = 'seal' which then has its semantics defined by Satire II.vii.73,4-78,8 wherein one finds another meaning element that can be recognized in the image of Juan Diego of Guadalupe:

                                                frenis natura remotis.
Tune mini dominus, rerum imperiis hominumque                         75
Tot tantisque minor, quem ter vindicta quaterque
Imposita haud unquam misera formidine privet?
Adde super dictis quod non levius valeat: nam
Sive vicarius est qui servo paret,

where the lines 75-77 tell of the burdens superimposed 3-4 times on his head, under the 'rod of freedom' in his nose. It looks very precise.

The graphic form of this radical 26 - and perhaps even more so in its historical forms - emerges perhaps from Satire I.iv.2,1-18,1.


RADICAL 110

RAD 110 = 矛 = 'spear, lance'. Graphics = Satire II.v.59-75, semantics = Epistle I.vii.27-43,2.

The graphic part tells of the daughter of Nasika who marries Coranus: The historical forms given on the wiktionary page tells of a bronze version (as the oldest form given) resembling a pregnant woman. If the transcribed ancient script is the last in the historic development, it could be contained in the twining forms towards the end of the fragment: "Laudes, lauderis ut absens" etc.

The semantic part tells of the fox penetrating through a narrow channel into a store of food, eats himself full but is then too fat to get out again. The story-teller likewise eats himself full etc. This could be aspects of the semantics of this radical. Horsemen were also knights etc.

Search also this file for #110 (= DDS I:77) = the relevant poem to this radical in DDS: "Was unter [transparenter] Plastik verweilt / bleibt in der Schönheit des menschliches Herzens / verwandelt" - could be that fox who could not get out again, or the wellfed storyteller.


RADICAL 126 + RADICAL 141

The epistles distribute symmetrically in 2 * 62 parts over the mirror radicals 196 down to 71 (minus mid 133-134). It means that a fragment of an epistle should apply with expectedly semantic interpretation to two different radicals. I try the example of the fragment from Epistle I.i.97,4-ii.5,6 which applies to radicals 126 and 141.

RAD 126 = 而 = 'and, then, but' plus particles for 'cause, purpose, manner, hypothetical condition, tendency/immediate action' - these are particles which partly will overlap with the conjunctions and which probably can be spotted in the text of Epistle I.i.97,4-ii.5,6

The graphics to this radical should be in Ode I.xvi. It is probably possible to spot the historic development of this radical symbol diachronically in this ode - such as the oracle bone form in lines 2-4 and the modern 而 in line 21.

RAD 141 = 虍 = 'pattern of tiger fur'. Like the particles of radical 126 shifts back and forth, so does the same text perhaps in tiger fur pattern format.

The graphics to this radical would be in Ode I.xxxi which likewise seems to make much sense if one thinks of it as the historical development from oracle bone form in stanza 1 to the modern form in the last stanza 5.

The theory of syntagm-paradigm ordinality applies here to Ode I.xxx taken to associate with the semantics to the graphics of radical 141 in Ode I.xxxi. 'A tiger in bed' is perhaps a universal association, and 'mercury stripes' would be the end of the ode.


RADICAL 149 + RADICAL 118

RAD 149 = 言 = 'language' - various aspects of speech, language, documents. The fragment is Epistle I.iv.12,2-v.12,4. A brief scanning of this seems to suggest that 'there is nothing of the semantics of this radical here'. However, it is possible that Horace is very advanced - and that this fragment is so precise to the radical as it is possible to get it. But it is not so easy to find the formula which holds the solution. For once, when I was about to study the foundations of the distributional aspects of natural language in 1991, I soon ditched in the apparent paradox I have described in this file - and by a closer study of it one eventually comes to the conclusion that if lightbeams can be dated at all, the age of light is likely to be by way of just this formula. But that is a good part of this fragment from the Epistles - conjecturally on the radical for 'language' - the end of the age of light, the end of the day, by sunset. There you can find the author as a fat swine from the flocks of Epicurus - precisely at the border to what human language is. People reclined at the table probably mainly on one side. A sketch of grammatical structure will perhaps tend to look like the twigs on which the wine-grapes grow.

RAD 118 = 竹 = 'bamboo' - the same fragment from the Epistles. Where is the bamboo? Could be it is characterized by similar principles, here by segments of alternatives.


(Added 8 march 2022: See also this interesting study of radicals 28-31).


'Der Dornenstrauch' as a 'poetic revelation in history'

It is seen that the discovery of Horace relative to chinese radicals could be done probably only by way of my DDS. How come? I wrote the DDS as an 'externalized' reflex of the inner poetic articulations of TEQ - the work with the more than 20.000 inner poetic articulations lasted for 11 years (1997-2008) without weekend or holiday since every day had to count in the temporal scheme. The question of interest is where these inner poetic articulations came from - did they come from divine sources, from propaganda, from the poet's own personal experiences? The poet did not write anything before it articulated itself clearly in the inner mind. A study of the distributional properties of these articulations - spread out over a time scheme of 11 years - probably suffices for proving that they could not have come from propaganda or intrigue. It is likely that they have been articulated through some prism of collective historic conciousness which also is a prism for the distributions in the progress of history. This was also the difference between TEQ and DDS: The former had its inspiration from inner poetic articulations, the latter from outer observable events - much of it is written in coffee points around town. When, therefore, the work with DDS went from late 2009 untill the spring 2015, it is likely to have been on inspiration from an unfolding in this inner poetic structure of TEQ. It can be conjectured that this - along with the poet's general understanding of poetic structure - is the reason why DDS provides the basis for the discovery of the relation between Horace and chinese radicals. The DDS may contain deeper mysteries than this - I have earlier also presented some examples from the deep diachrony of the relation between ancient hebrew and vedic sanskrit which could be derived from the form of DDS, and one can guess that the reason for these findings would be of a similar kind of inner poetic articulations turned into a 'poetic revelation in history' for the poet in the process of writing.

A final point should be mentioned: It was while I was writing the DDS in coffee points around Vienna that an apparent political attempt of 'beerhallputsching' seemed to take place of the poetic revelation in history which I was then harvesting after the 11 years of constant inner writing: While it was normal that females worked in the coffee points which normally was only a bakers shop with espresso machine and a couple of tables, there started after some time to appear males in their places - and where there formerly had been a sympathetic woman working, there started to appear hairy muscled males selling the white loaves. I quickly understood that it could have been political surveillance who followed my whereabouts and tried to wedge inbetween me and the 'poetic revelation' in an attempt to coup it, to hijack it for their political needs, for presenting it to the public voters with a "look what an interesting reality I can offer". This phenomenon seemed to spread out from Vienna and soon there was hardly a bakers shop in Europe which did not sell by the males. Alas, this was the wrong 'revelation' - and in the final parts of the work I normally shuttled back and forth to Bratislava and Györ for keeping it going. It is my view that this unwanted intrusion and attention-claiming involvement of political interesters in the historic context - when the externals once again turned internal again in the flow and ebb of history and spirituality - came to return in the form of unwanted viruses called covid-19 flushing in from the metaphysics and being difficult to control. I was just working with translating Shijing from chinese (see e.g. my translation of 'Shijing #145' - which indeed seems to 'preherald' by the cover my TEQ) when covid-19 broke out in Wuhan in China. It may have been the same story that happened with Wittgenstein and the spanish flue and which later led to the rise of Hitler in Germany for couping the historic revelation of the 'steppenwolf' that arose from his Tractatus - and american culture created Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers for stepping around in the filling in of the coup. History has shown that it was probably not so smart - and Vienna had produced Sigmund Freud to tidy up in the mess. Could be the normal way for people to undertake such studies in the semiotic constitution of their psyche is in their sexuality via the sexual act - and then they study how the presence of the other person lends shape to the form of their psyche - and then it can be felt as embarassing and people started giggling and laughing when Ludwig went around town for studying the precisely organized logical formulation of this semiotic constitution of the psyche. A pity he was not allowed to do that - if the cultural response was a lot of 'steppenwolf' harassment.

The Annaberg terror took place in Melk and when I later came to the monastery and gave them a copy of my blue PEB, the prior Kowarik died probably later in the same day. I would guess that it was not because he looked at my book but rather perhaps somebody wanted to 'hijack the revelation'. It must be understood that there could still be some way to walk before the world understands this history. Kofi Annan was chief of UN's peacekeeping forces which could have stopped the Rwanda genocide but did not and that could have been the reason why he became chief of UN. A 'verandah' or 'Carnap' curve of the underground U2 is being built in Vienna these days and the drilling of that - in Mariahilferstrasse and Lindengasse - could have been the reason for the genocide on the 'Tutsies'. I had not masturbated before the school dentist destroyed my white and healthy-looking teeth in 1970 - in a school dentistry which could have started on the day when Rudolf Carnap died. My official mother is called 'Ragna' but my genetics could be 'Judenblut'. There was little left of mutual confidence in 1945 and then renewed confidence could only be built on mutual terror and therefore the innermost truth had to be kept secret and therefore only the secret intelligences could administer the needed peace and mutual confidence. But it cannot continue like that and what looked inevitable in 1945 no longer does. Today it is understood that it is not really necessary any longer to squeeze the poet out - and it should not really be necessary to call the third 'covid-19' vaccine a 'booster jab', and the people should not get vaccinated against my 'The Endmorgan Quartet', nor should this work become the tumbleplace for new international secret intelligence service controlled terror. Could be the 'secret intelligences' dream about an innermost truth sufficiently paradoxical to be a lasting foundation of mutual confidence - but the innermost truth is probably only that confidence depends on the time since the last terror and therefore the world is much served with avoiding a new Hitler.

It can be added perhaps also that the medication against covid-19 which I had suggested in my theory published in april 2020 could have been used by WHO organizing a developer of this - but without explicit crediting of me as the source of the theoretic basis: It is of course the theoretic basis which is the prerequisite for making such a drug, although the technology and experience are out of reach for me. I do not have much reason for claiming such an immediate connection between my theory published on the internet in april 2020 and the pill against covid-19 launched by Pfizer on 21 december 2021 beyond the fact that Trump pulled USA out of WHO rather immediately after I had presented the theory - and one naturally speculates that WHO had made a quick test of the theory and found very promising results and - as goes the speculation here - had contacted Pfizer for developing the drug. The reason why I make these speculations is that a new film 'Being the Ricardos' was launched on the internet on 21 december 2021 on the same day as Pfizer launched its drug 'Paxlovid' against the coronavirus of covid-19. This launching day was accompanied by an underwater volcanic eruption on Tonga (leaving the island rather much in need of help thereafter) and a most exceptional rise in the global covid-19 curve started on the same day: If the theory should have a rooting in reality that covid-19 simply is the result of a massive misbalance between physics and metaphysics arising from abuse of my work without crediting of the source, the idea being that the metaphysics continues to pump new coronavirus variants into the physics untill balance is regained, each variant running up to herd immunity after which a new variant again is 'launched' from the metaphysics untill misbalance caused by the abuse is flattened out, then of course an uncredited use of my original theory - based exclusively on the theoretic implications that can be drawn from the structure in my The Endmorgan Quartet (1997-2008) - of how to find a medication against covid-19 expectedly could come to result in just such a massive rise in new infections. It could, on basis of this, be speculated that this could have been the reason why Trump so abruptly pulled USA out of WHO. (There was also a socalled 'sofagate' announced around 12-13 april 2021 when EU leaders von der Leyen and Michel was on a trip to Turkey). However, the extreme rise in the global curve which started on 21 december 2021 and made the curve look nearly 90 degrees turned could perhaps also have the appealing interpretation that it means the end of the pandemic rather than the beginning of a new chapter. Time will show and it is permitted to hope the best.


A revelational function

There seems to be a basis for assuming in the work of Horace a study of those principles of logical order which came to be formalized only many centuries later in the Kangxi radicals. It would mean that Horace's work, like the chinese radicals and maybe the chinese script in general, is a sort of Schimmelbild relative to heaven - telling of how humans relate to the divines - and how the script arises in the redundancies that constitute a matrix of shared understanding between these realities. See also this study on this Schimmelbild for the Kangxi radical 97 ('KUA' = the humid 'melon') with its semantic interpretation in Epistle I.xiii.0,9-17,1. This correlation with Horace is convincing when one has the 'Schimmelbild', otherwise it could be difficult to see how it means 'melon'. The graphic correlate is easier if one takes the historical origins to resemble a gallows with a 'freedman' opening of the loop in the inbetween stages. The study has discussed some examples from the Guadalupe 'tilma' which lend credibility to the suggested concordance - but clearly some of the suggested correlations can be difficult to verify without such exceptional evidence. However, what is available so far could give reason to optimism for the validity of the suggested assignment. I refer also to the interpretation of the 'indian' that reshaped from 'James Joyce' reading Ulysses with rollerskates in a sofa via the mirrored form (cp. the mirrored forms of Guadalupe) - in a reshape as 'controlled' by mystic 'entelechies' whereby the new form took on 'humanoid' meaningfulness. The interpretation makes some sense in seeing this new form as a variant of radical 95 - Mathews gives this form for radical 95 - not only in the graphics of Ode I.xvii [17/3-22: looks like a printing error of mine - cp. mid col. on rel.enum. - should probably be Satire II.iii.240,6-256,5] but perhaps even more in Epistle I.xiv.14,4-30,6 wherein one can read a successive fourfold turning of the new form - via the 'brothel', the 'bovine' custody and the protection of the meadows from too much viewlight:

One notices also the similarities with the Guadalupe character 1 - and the similarity of the 'brothel' turning and the 'inspector' mentioned also in this file. (See also this file).

The logic then goes that the chinese script 'takes on form' by itself, like blots of china taking shape on the white paper (such as this 'radical 95' attaining the black spots of the indian's hand where there originally were no forms at all) like the inner poetic articulations taking shape by themselves in my mind when I was writing TEQ. It would be in the meetingplace between physical and metaphysical reality - on that place where the human semiotic constitution gives shape to the world. It means that the constitution of the chinese script should be conceivable in light of the socalled 'fundamental theorem of logic' and hence possibly also be concerned with the conjectured 'age of light'. My guess is that the chinese script can be understood as having its form from what can be called a 'revelational function' in human reality.


Concordance DDS, Kangxi radicals and Horace

See here for an overview of the relation between Horace's work and my 'Der Dornenstrauch' = 'DDS'.

In the below concordance list, column 1 shows the absolute enumeration of the 440 poems in my DDS. Column 3 shows the enumeration of the 214 chinese Kangxi radicals - these go in parallel with my absolute enumeration up to #214 and thereafter they go down again to 1 - for two mirrored lists. Horace's works are listed in books, poems and verses in column 4. For example, the correlate to Kangxi radical #5 is in Horace's Satire I.i from line 63,9 to line 79,8 = from appr. "Athenis / sordidus..." to appr. "...temptatum frigore", which here is assumed to be the interpretation of the graphic aspects of this radical, possibly even in its historic development. This radical has also a mirror definition (here the 'semantic' interpretation) at my absolute enumeration #424 at Satire II.viii.68,2-73,5 (= from appr. "male conditum..." to appr. "nudare solent"). Column 2 is the relative enumeration of my DDS.

For a listing of the Kangxi radicals 1-214, see this 'wikipedia' article. By clicking on the radical number in the lefthand column, one gets up an article on the radical, and underneath the main symbol there is a link to a 'wiktionary' page with data on historical forms and semantic definitions. For example, under 196 'bird' there comes up the page Radical 196 and underneath the symbol there is to the left of (U+9CE5) "bird" a link to the page on this word. (This also conveniently contains the HTML code for this sign). Here one can consult the semantic definitions under pronunciation 1 and 2 for considering relative to Epistle I.xx.11,8-28 and the graphics of the historical forms (oracle bone, bronze, seal script) relative to Ode III.xxviii - is there a historic development of the signs reflected in Horace's ode?

The conjecture is that, in principle, the graphic form of the chinese radicals is described by the Horace fragment in the first half 1-214 while the semantic form is in the second half 215-428.
