Running and Cloning an Experiment

A prerequisite for either running or cloning from Colab is having a Google Account. If you have Gmail you presumably have a Google Account. They say:

Every Google Account comes with 15 GB of storage that’s shared across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos.

But there won’t be any permanent changes made to your Google Drive.

Running an Experiment in Google Colab


Experiment Sixteen

Repurpose Experiment One to validate the 1895 deciphering by Elizabeth Wells Gallup of The I.M. Poem, the most unbearable, intentionally-wretched Posie to be found within the First Folio. Decode The I.M. Poem using the Biliteral Cipher to reveal key-words to be consumed by the Word Cipher, the poem’s actual but unacknowledged reason-to-be since 1623. {@project_status} Experiment Fourteen The primary goal of the New Gorhambury Project is to use computer-aided methods to decode the secret messages hidden by Sir Francis Bacon

Experiment Six

Use a pre-existing encoding of one specific page from the First Folio (1623) to reveal the message steganographically hidden there.

Experiment Eleven

Work towards publishing the first complete, public description of Sir Francis Bacon’s Word Cipher. Enable additional independent research into reverse-engineering the Word Cipher. Replicate a historic illustration of the Word Cipher in use. Future Experiments will focus more on Technology and less on background information. {@project_status} Experiment Eleven While Sir Francis Bacon’s invention of the Biliteral Cipher (“Binary Code”) has become one of the most successful inventions in World History, in his secret writings, he repeatedly refers to an even

Experiment Twelve

Use word frequency statistics to infer whether the Word Cipher is real. ? {@project_status} Experiment Twelve Word Clouds are often seen in use as visual curiosities, but here they are the very manifestation of the purpose of the Experiment. Word Clouds can be described as “scaled color-coded visualizations of word count frequencies” Notes for this page:

Experiment Four

Create a “cipher-sniffing” mini-application to recognize and visually highlight the rectangular regions of any First Folio page where the (still-encoded) Biformed Alphabet is present.

Experiment Three

Attempt to repurpose the 1916 Riverbank Classifiers as the source of our set of 96 Biformed alphabet glyphs for Template Matching.

Experiment One

Use a pre-existing encoding of one specific page from the First Folio (1623) to reveal the message steganographically hidden there.

Experiment Two

Use Computer Vision to read digital facsimiles of historic documents and recognize individual letters of the alphabet, and their cryptographic variants.

Experiment Seventeen

Attempt to repurpose the 1916 Riverbank Classifiers as the source of our set of 96 Biformed alphabet glyphs for Template Matching.

Experiment Five

We put forward a Programming Challenge to good-with-math code-savvy naysayers!

Select your Google Account:

Choose Run All from the Runtime menu.

This spinning-up begins, and takes a while. System messages report progress.

Then the program actually runs.
