<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As someone with an academic background in history I 
can appreciate Mr Bartjens efforts and place in history:)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Unfortunately for  we historical purists&nbsp; I do 
not believe that the young market makers and analysts, which I battle against 
everyday, have yet heard of Mr Bartjens. So for now we must continue to use Mr 
Fibonnacci's&nbsp; name until Mr Bartjens takes his rightful place in the 
investment community.</FONT></DIV>

  <DIV><FONT size=2>While we're at it (see this weekends "Stochastics" list 
  mail: "Re: From Songyun - ref. Bressert Cycle 5"),</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>lets unhype again, ehh yet again, </FONT><FONT size=2>the 
  fibionancy relationship between figures hoax.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>Around the 1600 century, a very inventive master of 
  mathematics, Willem Bartjens, lived here in</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>the Netherlands, in the Drenthe country.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>His "discovery", what he at that time called in 
  his&nbsp;findings: "The Cyfferinge", were put</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>down later(+/- 1620) </FONT><FONT size=2>into being the new 
  and official new governmental state-law for school-education(s)</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>replacing the more in-adequate teachings of the early first 
  Millenium-era (i.e among them</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>the Salesman from </FONT><FONT size=2>Italy : 
  fibionancy).</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;</DIV></FONT>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>This discovery is printed below, whereby he(Bartjens) 
  actualy </FONT><FONT size=2>used the figure 8 in the centre. He 
  then</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>also </FONT><FONT size=2>created </FONT><FONT size=2>the 
  world's ever first "Excel"-sheet, by adding or substracting&nbsp;another 
  figure 3&nbsp;in the first</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>adjoining-cells-</FONT><FONT 
  size=2>clockwise-surrounding-</FONT><FONT size=2>the-centre-cell that held 
  the&nbsp;figure </FONT><FONT size=2>8.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>From this, he was then&nbsp;able to add+substract&nbsp;up to 
  always the same figure 24, whether this was:</DIV></FONT>
  <DIV><FONT 
  size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
  -&nbsp;horizontaly</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT 
  size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
  - </FONT><FONT size=2>verticaly</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT 
  size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
  - </FONT><FONT size=2>horizontaly 1-row up or down</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT 
  size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
  - verticaly 1-column right or left</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT 
  size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
  - crosswise top-left to bottom-right</FONT><FONT size=2> or</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; -&nbsp;crosswise bottom-left to 
  top-right.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>From all these exact matches, his ever beloved figure 
  became&nbsp;24.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>That, at first, was simulatainiously straightout his 
  downfall as well. It was seen like "Swearing in a Church",</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>e.g. it didn't match the figural relationship that had been 
  thaught for Centuries, and that stemmed from</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>the early days of the Millenium(see above). Teachings that 
  were derived from the fibionacies from that time/era,</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>eg it was then their 1st Millenium-party, since 
  that&nbsp;also at that time the first use of the 
  combined&nbsp;Indo-Arabic</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>figure-set was esthablished, replaing the AC countings ( the 
  last year was AC999, eg XXXXVIIII</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>since that the romans weren't expecting a millenium-bug in 
  their yearly writings).</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>(Indo-Arabic figure-set: the figures&nbsp;1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 
  , 6&nbsp;,&nbsp;7 , 8 , 9 , 0).</FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>Later this discovery and his teachings being "state-law" was 
  known as the "Willem Bartjens Law", an</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>expression still used in our lango for when calculations do 
  add up correctly, eg one will say:</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>"According to the Law of Bartjens, your calculations 
  are.....{wrong&nbsp;or right, good or bad}.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>The work: "The Cyfferinge" was re-written in the 17th 
  Century, since at that time another State-Law</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>was put into effect, one that also explained how and why 
  calculations are wrong or right {which the Bartjens-law</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>originaly didn't provide for}.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>Then while&nbsp;it was&nbsp;then being re-written 
  and&nbsp;keeping the calculation&nbsp;method in-tact,&nbsp;it was now at the 
  same</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>time&nbsp;"fully analised and disabused"; eg. the 
  rewriting.</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>The guy then straight out became&nbsp;one of the most 
  popular persons&nbsp;(since his Law indeed did make sence) and</FONT></DIV>
  <DIV><FONT size=2>became a national hero.&nbsp;&nbsp;</DIV></FONT>
