Original facsimile:

I appreciate this Forum but I still make clumsy mistakes like creating blank posts. You all attack me as though you were no better than a pack of wolves.

And attached is a sample of the image processing custom software I work on to machine-read the T & C Prologue page, and so decode the crypto key for not just the First Folio, but, as Margaret Barsi-Greene has explained, the 40 or so Baconian works written under a plethora of pen-names, Bacon's self-proclaimed Secret Autobiography. Here the Skimage image processing library is used with the Python computer language to try to record the boundaries of each letter in the Bodleian Library First Folio facsimiles. The challenge is the overlapping letters in this type of antique font, which takes too much from the tradition of Calligraphy. And yes, I am the first person since Elizabeth Wells Gallup in the 1890s to attempt a new decoding scheme .

Troilus and Cressida is widely accepted to be the least successful of the 36 plays of the 1623 First Folio. Wikipedia offers details about when each of the plays were performed most recently, and the article for Troilus and Cressida suggests this to me: summer theater groups have been interested in it from time to time until they actually tried to read it together as a group for the first time -- and found it unreadable! Really insufferable. George Bernard Shaw's review of Troilus and Cressida was blisteringly negative. And I take it as a Reliable Information Source the download statistics offered by Project Gutenberg: Romeo and Juliet is by far the most popular, T & C the least. On average, not even one download per year from an element of the First Folio, the most influential work in the history of the English Language! So the three Google Notebook LM generated documents attached here are meaningful in several ways at the same time. The insufferably unreadable work becomes readily digestable in one bold stroke. OK, I am the first person in 400 years to make a contribution in the way of Demystification. Fine. What a heroic figure am I. However, T & C has an additional, centrally important relevance within my project, New Gorhambury. I believe that the one-page Prologue of T & C was the very last page added to the First Folio, and it holds the cryptographic key for unlocking the entrance to Our Lord's Cryptographic Labyrinth (see my Experiment One). Anyway I am glad that for the first time I have at least a lightweight understanding of T & C is about, mainstream Shakespearean scholars have always been bewildered...all thanks to Google Notebook LM.

Because I observe that Public Education for Everyone is our National Religion now. No more references to God, certainly...there is the naive wistful hope that with enough Education the ills of Society and of individuals will go away. And FB was progenitor of this well-meaning idea. But look at all the "inner city" schools where none of the pupils can read at grade level. And how would FB react to the work the Somalis of Minneapolis have done with their "Learing Centers" [sic] Here the $$$ for public schools comes from Property Taxes. So they have bought into FB's revolutionary notion that everyone would benefit from public education, and the commoners would be less inclined to "rebellion" (a direct quote).

I consider this to be the best NB-LM I have done so far: Francis Bacon: The Architect of Modern Knowledge & Universal Education Bacon_s_Knowledge_Revolution.pdf

Google doesn't address who the English traveler was with the stack of notebooks which have survived and a grand total of decapitated heads mounted on poles, but offers:

Are you willing to share your Prompt? Is it Midjourney?

and google had #2:

She had this already... I like your image of FB very much...he invented the Binary Code, of course

I know I remember having read about the following at some time in the past but I am blocked by not having specific references. I know that my only hope is the incomparably erudite members of this august Community: 1. What was the title on the unique copy of a bombastic comedy stage play script from the late 1500's discovered in a dusty old London carpenter shop in the 1800's that includes the name Fr bacon embedded as an acrostic on the first page? It was his first printed work, created when he was still a pre-teen. 2. During Elizabethan times, or even earlier, what do you call the strict limit of the number of Printing Presses in the realm at 50, imposed by the Crown, at one point, and at an earlier time, was the limit even lower? 3. Who was the British academic who compiled semi-quantitative statistics in the late 1890's on the most significant written works in the history of the English Language, as indicated by two metrics, the number of references to an author's works, plus the number of words any one person introduced into the language which became permanent? The study of interest showed that "William Shake-speare" exceeded that in the #2 position by an order of magnitude, and in other comprably great bodies of literature, such as Russian, French, or German, there is no comparable superstar. 4. Who was the British commercial traveler who amused himself within his coach by compiling tallies of anything he observed en route, specifically the number of decapitated heads mounted on poles along the primitive roadways? A whole stack of his notebooks is on hand somewhere, and later British scholars had come up with a grand total for the nation. Thanks in advance...

You can just now edit Slide Decks after they are generated and re-generate the modified deck. I didn't lift a finger to create these. Who neeeds Universities any more?The Baconian Instrument_ Foundations of the Scientific Method.pdf Architect_of_Modern_Science.pdf

Unintentional NB-LM Humour

I loved this picture and still do. Will you share your Midjourney prompt? I am only getting started. The_Individualist’s_Battle_With_The_Investigator.m4a The_Individualist_Investigator_Enneagram_Profile.pdf

AI-generated content from Google Notebook LM keeps astounding me, and an especially intense episode happened last night which I am eager to share with my Baconian Pilgrim brothers and sisters. I'm not going to say it is directly related to any of his Encryption Methods. You can present to NB-LM up to 50 "sources" in the introductory (free) service tier, and sources can be PDFs, Website URLs, and Youtube URLs, and other things. A new feature is that Google will optionally use its matchless search capabilities to find a gaggle of relevant research materials for you. An interesting question is whether a larger number of sources makes for a better result. Take the example of the infographic output (here) by NB-LM based on the 15 sources it cooked up for Sir Bacon's 1623 The Advancement of Learning. The erudite pilgrims here will get a good laugh at how pedestrian it is, as it does represent a kind of 'lowest common denominator'. However, this one graphic makes this immortal work potentially digestible by a vastly greater fraction of Humanity, so in a certain way it actually has great merit. Previously I had uploaded some samples of NB-LM working on only one source, so it manifests a different kind of merit. This morning's samples comes from NB-LM digesting only one 50-page PDF, my Enneagram personality profile from the Enneagram Institute in New York State, US. https://tests.enneagraminstitute.com/orders/create WILKINSON-WALTER-RHETIResults.pdf You invest $20 and 40 minutes of answering boring questions online, and in minutes you receive back a document which provides as much background information as you need about the how system works, tailored specifically for describing, in depth, the personality you were born with, in relentless detail, much greater than what you have encountered before. I always say that for me, it was the best $20 I ever spent. [Later I will need to explain how I got involved so deeply with the Enneagram shortly after moving to a tiny town in the remote badlands of Wyoming USA about ten years ago.] It turns out that submitting one's personality PDF report (RHETI) to NB-LM as the sole Source provided, was, for me, the most compelling NB-LM results thus far. For reference I am again uploading some of the same, related, graphical generated content as from recent days, but what is new here is the MP3 Debate between two excellent-quality virtual voices, one female and one male. Walter_Wilkinson’s_Volatile_Bohemian_Mix.m4a They expound on the inborn personality and character of the subject (me) in the typical Enneagram fashion, which I like to describe as being "Unflinchingly Observational". They refer to it as an individual's "Internal Architecture". I haven't redacted my name from the report, so the MP3 (m4a actually) refers to me as though they were right here in the room -- a fascinating example of 'Breaking the Fourth Wall'. They speak to me directly because, as they say, accurately, "we know you are listening to this". Its prediction of my entire life-trajectory is devastatingly on-target. Both the Main Points are enumerated, as well as lots of witty nuances which, over and over, make we wonder, Where did the algorithms get this from? It's much more than lightweight intellectual "snack food". There could be great benefit to Humanity, and I am certain Lord Verulam would heartily approve.
