THE CODE PAGE EXPLAINED
The code page as such presents a different kind of challenge when looking for an acrostic name because of course there are no visible words. But an acrostic decoding method can still be applied using a simple formula based on 7 consecutive numbers each of which directly relates to the position of a letter on a line.
In this case, as you can see in the image at the top of the page, we appear to have 5 lines including the so-called 'crossed out' line, line 2.
But, the reality is that there are 7 lines, each one beginning with the letter M as in the following format:
1. MRGOABABD
2. MLIAOl
3. MTBI
4. MPANETP
5. MLIABOAIAQCVTT
6. MTSA
7. MSTGAR
Note that the letter A only appears in two of the 7 lines in the 7th position, Line 1 and Line 5
THE CODE PAGE LETTERS WERE ARRANGED IN GROUPS BEGINNING WITH THE LETTER M
Whoever wrote the Code page commenced with the first line ending in D.
Next, he or she wrote the second line MLIAOI and then moved on to the third line MTBIMPANETP and realised that there may not be enough physical space on the page for both of the M sections/code letter groups to be placed on separate lines and so they were joined onto one line which consisted of 2 groups.
Whilst we have MTBIMPANETP in that 3rd line we have the two groups, MTBI and a second, separate group of MPANETP.
Next, we move to the sequence MLIABOAIAQC but there wasn't enough physical room on the page to insert the VTT after it so it was moved to the next line as follows: VTT MTSA MSAGAR Space on the page was extremely tight and that's why the lines were 'compressed' as in:
the 5th message group MLIABOAIAQCVTT followed by the 6th message group MTSA and finally followed by the 7th and last message group MSTGAR
Please note, the very last letter on the code page is not in our view the letter B but the letter R with a 'flourish' beneath it (as first published some years ago on this blog)
The person who was to receive the code would know that the letter M was the key letter for each group of letters that followed the M.
THE 'DANETTA' AUTHENTICATOR
Decode
An operator receiving this information would be looking for a way to confirm that this was an authentic 'broadcast' an authenticator was needed. In this case the operator was looking for a name: DANETTA.
Individual letter positions that form the name DANETTA WITHIN THE REFORMATTED code page can be fixed and then read from left to right or from right to left: the numbering sequence relates to the position of each letter within the numbered lines and there must be 7 sequential letter positions
D = Line 1, position # 1 READ Right to Left
A = Line 5, position # 6 READ Right to left
N= Line 4, position # 4 READ Left to Right
E= Line 4, position # 5 READ Left to Right
T = Line 3, position # 2 READ Left to Right
T = Line 7, position # 3 READ Left to Right
A = Line 5 position # 7 READ Left to Right
In strict sequence of placement, we have:
1=D, 6=A, 4=N, 5=E, 2=T, 3=T, 7=A
Bringing it all together we have:
Letter Position 1 = D
Letter Position 2 = A
Letter Position 3 = N
Letter Position 4 = E
Letter Position 5 = T
Letter Position 6 = T
Letter Position 7 = A
And this is the authenticator code name:
DANETTA
MRGOABABDMLIAOIMTBMPANETPMLIABOSIAQCVTTMTSAMSTGAR
A O A I Q S R what do you know! Another 7 letters.
This takes us nicely to the last letter on the code page...
SS COWARA, a HMAS COWARA was laid down in 1939 Still looking for the SS Cowara.
So, there we have it, a strict 7 number sequence linked to individual letters with the first two letters, D and A, being read from right to left and the remainder being read left to right, our letter positions are numbered in sequence 1,2,3,4,5,6,7.
When you look critically at this arrangement you can see the logic that has been applied, the first letter is a known key and it commences the sequence which the other 6 letters must follow:
1 is by itself then 2 + 3, then 4 + 5 with 6 + 7 being the outer two numbers within which we find 2,3,4 and 5. It is relatively simple and straightforward.
The question as to why it was done this way is this, it is thought that it was done to provide the reader with a confirmation that this a real message set, DANETTA was the authenticator in this case as it was in Tibor Kaldor's last letter.
Critically this decode only works when you arrange the code into 7 lines format each of which begins with the letter M.
The fact that an authenticator is used confirms the clandestine nature of the code page. This decode exercise does not affect the presence of micro-written code that has been found on the page. ( In fact it validates it, more on that in another post)
Pete, Late last year this blog claimed the position of leadership in the Somerton Man space. It got there because there is a focus and commitment unearth new information to solve the problem. This post is an example and it's why this blog remains the leader.
ReplyDeleteRecently I congratulated Pete on his find, my thoughts then were that he would latch on to the sequences as shown in this post, but he didn't. The fact is that, sadly the posters and commenters on other blogs when they're not abusing other blogs and authors, rarely look beyond their own egos. I know Misca has expressed similar views. Far from attracting more interest from the potential audience, they are actively turning people off. This blog is an exception, our audience is growing even through these tough times, what's more I know that the trend will continue as long as I stay focused.
To the other bloggers in this space, you could experience the same growth but you have to make some significant changes to your format and to your attitudes. Competition is a good thing as long as its healthy and abides by decent principles and values. In that task, I wish you all well.
