hi nick & me :-)

  
Nick you wrote :snip:

   From a crypto point of view, what is a "folding key"? Simply, it's a set 
  of 8 substitution ciphers arranged around the edge of a tic-tac-toe board 
  (with an unused [?] ninth cipher placed in the centre) - so that when you 
  hit a gallows character, you change your current cipher to the particular 
  cipher linked with that gallows. According to the ES, the gallows-cipher 
  correspondences follow this pattern:-
  
  	f	t	k
  	p	(-)	cph
  	cfh	cth	ckh
  
-=se=-> don't know about above )assume eva stuff?(? BUT, 


you write:
<-=se=-

  Furthermore, these are numbered in the following way (<t> being first):-
  
  	4	1	3
  	5	-	8
  	7	2	6
  
 <-=se=-

*YES (Eva t is "1st") in the middle upper center* 

Looks GOOD, but don't mirror until you REVERSE the lower half, that is
that (ES's) #'ings are :

	3	1	2
	4	-	8
	6	5	7 


or

312
4-8
657


The "problem?" here is you followed the fold(ing) 1/2 way etc... but
don't MIRROR (flip) until you get a c_gallows_c.. or its mirror if
your on the c_gallows_c key. Then don't flip till you have "non c_c to
reflip the (next key) page back again.



What? 
D*mn I just reread THAT sentence above and it sounds "Dumb steve
DUMB!" - but,

note: 1 (and) area 5 (lower eva t) ARE Flipped or rotated "PAIRS"..

(as are also  2 & 6, 3 & 7, 4 & 8  *see the flow?*

that is 1 = eva t
and 5 = )pedestalled?< eva t = equals (SAME "Area" when flipped ONLY)

That is "THEY 1 & 5" hold the opposite actions/positions. 
 

THEY ARE MIRRORS (FLIPPED IMAGES/KEY) *YES*

But THEY 1 & 5 (above) will have different "values assigned"! Good
(ES) news ? .. is that 1 & 5 "values" remains constant (static)  
throughout the vms key! (as do 2&6, 3&7, 4&8 also) depending on ~whim~
of scribe, but from STARTing gallows, just following the positionings.

*VISUAL*

Isn't there an algebra theory that says if you have "algorithm" you
can have an Equal/Opposite "un-do" algorithm?  NOTE: this should fall
apart at "= 0"... but I don't do math - sorry :-(

Hope this helps?
Best to all here

-=se=-
steve (fold it  / flip it) ekwall


I *SEE* I have just process here - & don't know the language :-(

also:

I just found out about "Newbold (ref vms here)" here - WOW !!! *YES!*
right track, HE KNEW A LOT TOO, (*SAW*) many things! 

Keep up the good work all!
