Yeah, I know this stuff probably 🤔 makes me look bad, but I have my reasons. They're all good. Good enough to be willing to make myself look like a complete jerk in the process. It is what it is.
Passover:
Concerning the diagram above, in post 23:
The inner triangle = 148 [פסח, Pesach], and
The entire 2-4-1 special "key" space area is the mafte'ach, "key". The K of the CMYK acronym.
The rest of the Key space = 93 ["HaMegillah", the scroll (of Esther)], which divides as 3 x 31.
This even plays off of the 3-3-1 arrangement of a Seder plate with the word Pesach in the middle, and also a midrash about Haman casting lots. (133 really is the ultimate winning lot.)
179 = venahafoch hu, so it all turned to the contrary for him.
The numeral 31 is ל"א [lo לא, "not", a negation], the reverse of the word "El", "el", or L (God, god, or the Latin letter "L", which is 50 in Roman numerals).
I'm pointing that out because an L is also a key -- an Allen [אלן] EZ key which puns off of all that as El + the letter nun, which has a value of 50. (Allen is the name used in Hebrew.)
It's a "hex" key, which is also the "pet" name for the hexadecimal system, where L is "4c" like this here postage stamp imagery for marking 50 years, as well as the decimal value of 76, the spirit of.
And in this key space, there are these three EZ keys, picking up on the tradition about the three keys that God keeps in His own possession. Here's the link to the brief source text which also cites the verse references.
The Transformative Power of PesachA beautiful image of the future redemption is written in Isaiah 35:6: "At that time (when Mashiach will come) the lame man will skip like a hart."
In reality, we often observe or experience things that seem to be bad. The beauty of creation is in the Torah, which gives us the power to transform evil to good. Pesach has that transformative power. It can transform lameness to true and beautiful free skipping. The vision of the lame man skipping like a hart is a very important image to have in mind on Pesach.

The Key to Penetrating the Heart
The constraints of Egypt are psychological barriers that cannot be penetrated. These psychological barriers, which exist at some level in all of humanity, leave us all lame. The Hebrew word for "compassion," chemlah (chet, mem, lamed, hei), is a permutation for the Hebrew for "disease," machalah (mem, chet, lamed, hei). When we connect to another with compassion, which is even deeper than the embrace of love, we redeem him from his psychological barriers. His diseased state of lameness is then transformed to the Messianic skipping of the hart.
The transformative energy of Pesach is the power to break free of all psychological barriers, and with compassion in our hearts, to leap all the way into the hearts of God, our spouse, family and friends.
Pesach ("Passover"): Transforming Blemishes into Divine Wonders
Gotta laugh for the joy of discovery, because there's also the very famous, iconic L that even ended up on the face of a gravestone.
"Show me a Penny" [פני] and I can show you the man famous for "freeing the slaves" (or for the destruction of universe, depending on perspective).
Then it turns out that פני מרשל was the director of "Renaissance Man", a 30-year-old movie about a bunch of unenthusiastic and semi-literate soldiers who had a long way to go but a short time to get there.
I mention it because in the post I am replying to, you can see how the "Renaissance Man" is the framework value for the entire coat of many colors diagram(s).
As for the entire 2-4-1 special "key" space area, it's a veritable bargain, a real find -- 50% off when buying in pairs.
BOGO. It really goes a long way in explaining why the half shekel was defined in terms of a whole shekel (Exo 30:13), rather than for its individual value, but that's just the kind of thinking that keeps me far outside of the approved circles.
That's got to be one of the best representative images on a Wiki page ever:
"Happy hour" sign on a pub in Jerusalem: Buy one draught beer, get one free
Anyone realize what's obscured behind that 1 + 1 Happy Hour sign?
It's a "NES", a miracle, but who is still reading far past the "To:" line?
It's like what's on that classic Quantum Torah page:
Although it is a bit of oversimplification and quantum entanglement is more complicated than that, this metaphor helps students understand the main concept of entanglement—it is possible to find information about one object by learning about another object, without any communication between the two. I think every physics professor uses this example to explain to students the concept of entanglement.Perhaps, G‑d was teaching Moses the concept of entanglement as well. Each of us is only half-coin or, rather, half-person. Together, we can form a whole.
Not to me!
