CIPHER

The number is hard. The meaning is open.

This room is CIPHER. Its deepest subject is what humans do with symbols. LOVE, under English reduction, is 18. Culture sometimes expected 42. The letters wrote 18. That 18 is the octave, counted on the 42 field. Here the word is the object. We are not going to count it again.

What did the number add? What did you add?
