Lost -- Numbering System

Greetings all.

This is my first NB forum post. Ironically it's about Lost.
Sorry if this is redundant of what someone else said:

Hurley's Lotto Numbers were 4-8-15-16-23-42.
In the "man in black's" cave he's got names assigned to numbers, then you see them again in the Lighthouse.

Jack is #23... which was the row he sat in on the plane. Also, other people were assigned too (in the cave) and now in the lighthouse. 4- Locke, 8-Reyes, 15-Ford, 16-Jarrah, 23-Shephard, 42-Kwon.

But why no women?

When you add them all up, you come up with 108 which is what Jacob asked Hurley to turn the lighthouse to.
He never does, but 108 is "Wallace." We couldn't tell if it was crossed out or not. Dont forget 108 was the number of minutes you had in order to push the button in the Hatch.

Again, if this was all already stated, sorry for the repeat!

I am not a writer, but a friend of mine told me about this website and a post that they read about Lost. I am a big fan of Lost and have been watching it since day one.
Your post, Sam is most intriguing and insightful. I was wondering if you could explain it a bit more. What does Lost have to do with the Pirates of the Carribean? Why do you think that the smoke monster is Cerebus? Why does that remind you of Jim Carrey? That is a great post and I am looking forward to some more answers and information from you.

Hi L.girl,

Your not a writer? Then how did you get that post on the board? <grin>

Humm, where to start?

First I'm not saying that Lost and Pirates are directly related, just that they reference one another from time to time. I think you'll find that Lost references many movies, shows and books. To truly understand Lost you almost have to see all the different stories that it refers to.

Just looking at the names of the episodes of Lost anyone can see ties to Alice in Wonderland (which should be a huge clue) and many more very popular stories. What most people aren't getting are the small references to more less known works it uses to get the larger story out. I think it's almost impossible for anyone to dig out every piece of the puzzle and I call it a puzzle because it's all part of a much larger game.

Unknown to many, some writers are cross referencing their works, some do it to just to get a story of their own, some do it to pay tribute to storytellers that influenced them in their work, yet others are doing it to further the collective construct of creativity in which we all take part (some more than others).

But back to Lost vs Pirates...

The best place to start searching for the connections between the two is in the third Pirates movie around chapter 4 or 5. The scene to start with is the star filled night that is reflected by the sea in which the pirate ship soon sails (if you notice in the main menu of the dvd this scene is the center point, showing it's importance). Two character are in the front of the boat talking soon one runs to the back shouting at the captain, the captain say " yes, we're good and lost now" " you have to be lost to find a place that can't be found or then just anyone can find it." (para-phrased) boat sails off a cliff...

Next scene Jack is sniffing around and finds a peanut, soon we see all the pirates on the ship are Jack, this represents the idea that we are all the players in our dreams. Jack jumps overboard land in a desert and licks a rock, or what looks to be a rock (it's not exactly a rock it just looks like one) actually the rock is a memory, hence dreams are built by memories, the rocks gather together and move the huge ship to the beach and water ( memories drive our thoughts and "actions") but then what do we find? All the pirates washed up on shore after a plane crash, I mean shipwreck and just as a coincidence they're all looking for Jack. But the tie is in the knowing that both are works in the area of the subconscious.

Jack is the name of the main character of Pirates and Lost. So do we really believe that the character Jack was supposed to die in the first episode of Lost?

Think about the opening of this season of Lost when the island was underwater, how and why is and island with building suddenly underwater, notice the scene where they turn the boat down-side-up..

Again, I find that pointing to a direction is better than explaining everything in detail, it's always best for someone to see the connections for themselves. Let's just say if you watch all three Pirates movies with Lost in mind you'll find quite a few references you wouldn't without that insight.

Just like many writer put little games in their work I can't help but do it myself. I could go on and on about the smoke monster and the three headed dog in Harry Potter, but let's just say they both protect something very special. I do find it funny that I didn't even get a critical reply that I referenced Cerberus to The Chamber of Secrets when it was really The Sorcerer's Stone. Isn't one obligated to put a few mistakes in a post that's made to sound like a know-it-all? Can you find more, would you want to? Did you know that everything you read makes you a better writer? What if something you read just totally stinks, then you'll know to avoid those mistakes in your work.

Why does Lost remind me of Jim Carey? Because it was meant too.. The Number 23 is another work that references just about everything, did you know that it's totally connected with Stranger than Fiction? But that's another subject. How many people realized that even though in the story of 23 the wife was trying to keep the knowledge of who wrote the book from Jim when in the beginning of the movie she's the one that gave it to him?

That's also like in 23 they sent the killer 23 bags of styrofoam and the killer in The 4th Floor has roughly 23 bags of styrofoam in his apartment for no apparent reason. Can I write without digressing?

How's about this?

Wanna know more about "The Incident" watch Memento (Guy Pearce), want to know why Jacob has to touch everybody, watch Fallen (Denzel Washington)? Wiki's not as good as the real thing!

You could watch Step up 2 the Street and see the real meaning behind the story, just as soon as you can do every step in the movie then you can complain about how bad it is and.. Just watch snatch for the fun of it.

Don't you think it's funny that in the last season of Lost there's is going to be no more questions, only answers, but now your more confused than ever? Have you heard the more you know the more you know you don't know? 's is <grin>

OKay, there is one rule to the game, I have to warn you that you just might wind up very abnormal, in which I just did. What, are you happy with the thought that you just might wind up average? Do you think that the "magic numbers" came from a mental patient was a good enough warning?

And L.girl you could be a writer and not even know it!!! Have you seen some of the junk lying around lately?

Did you know that Peter Pan was a major player in the Lost story or is you name just a coincidence?

Chuch enda Haus!!

Hey there, Sam:
Wow, I am floored by your insight and they way that you see things. I can see exacty what you are saying about everything. I loved that movie Number 23, it was one of Jim Carrey's best movies. I don't think I would have put that together, but now that you have said that I can see what you mean.

The Pirate movies are very good too and all that you said about the boat flipping up-side-down is so true with the relation to Lost. The island is underwater as the boat also was too and they had to be lost to find what couldn't be found, and that the main characters are both Jack, that is so cool to think about all that.

Stranger than fiction is a good story, about the only thing I like Will Ferrell in. Not sure what that has to do with it though, could you enlighten me further on that? Also don't see what Alice in Wonderland has to do with it either...But I'm sure that you could make that a little bit more clear, if you would.

I'm going to be looking at Lost and other movies a little bit closer from now on. Thanks for the information and for making me think more about it all. I like reading your posts a lot, thanks again.

But why no women?
Kate's number on the Wheel was 51, I think. In my opinion that rules her out as a "special" candidate, since her number does not correlate with a hatch number.

When one thinks of those with the above names involved with the island, there are a LOT more women involved. I think the bloodlines are more important than we think.

4- Locke = John Locke (no kids)
8- Reyes = Hugo Reyes (Hurley) (no kids)
15- Ford = Sawyer/James Ford, and possibly his daughter Clementine Ford
16- Jarrah = Sayid Jarrah (no kids)
23 - Shepard = Christian Shephard OR Jack Shephard OR Claire Shephard (since she's Christian's Daughter) OR Aaron Shephard (since he's Claire son)
42- Kwon = Sun Kwon OR Jin Kwon OR little girl Kwon conceived on the island

The involvement of so many family members and how the island affected their lives cannot be insignificant. Other family groupings like Ben & his Dad, Charles, Eloise, & Daniel, and Locke & Locke's Dad are somehow related in something important. I'm sure of it!

Also, glad to see someone continuing my Jacob/Esau thoughts... This is going to be an interesting season.

L.girlie,

Your not L.V.G from Vamp Rave are you?

O.S.S. is a no-no! (but I won't tell).. You can P.M. me there if it is you.

=============

But back to Lost, if you just watched Pirates did you notice that when they flipped the boat and the sun went down that the big green flash looked and sounded exactly like Lost when the island disappeared? Also, if you had to describe the wheel that was turned to move the island what would it look the most like? A wheel that steers a ship maybe?

What about a link to Peter Pan since I brought that up. What does the monster on the island sound like, what does the crocodile in Peter Pan sound like? Monsters that make a very distinct sound? Another coincidence I'm sure. How's this for a stretch, Peter Pan was a story in which Pirates chased Lost boys, humm..

Alice in Wonderland, one of the most used stories in the Galaxy, coincidence that Johnny is starring in it, uh, now? Just how far down the rabbit hole do you wish to go, Neo? Side-note, if I was Neo I would have taken both pills, I'm funny that way. Wouldn't it have been funny if the samurai from Lost gave Jack two pills to give to Sayid, "You can give him this pill or...". Wonderland is one of the few movies that the author admits came directly from a dream, I say all fiction does, but that's another story. How did John L. know where to dig for the hatch again, I forget.

What about The Wizard of Oz and the knowledge that someone was in control of the whole world Dorothy found herself. Ruby slippers and the way home, noone gets that till this very day. Jack's dad's shoes? I'm just saying.. Isn't it funny that Dorothy's aunt's house crashed into OZ? Why didn't the good and bad witches just fight it out and kill one another? Maybe they couldn't.. Too many .... you say?

I sure wish this board had Quick Reply, I've forgotten my place!

Oh, Stranger then Fiction, no connection to Lost that I've found yet, I was referencing The Number 23, hence the digression.. But maybe there is, maybe noone has looked for it yet in the right context. Noone is a common mispelling, it's pronounce nun-E.

What about a closing question, how can a nuke go off on an island and the only thing that gets damaged is a structure that hasn't been built yet?

Opps; I guess that wasn't the closing question, what's the reference to the Lampost and C.S. Lewis, does any one hear no whathe Lamp in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe symbolizes'?

==============

Jenna..

Very good observation, I would add that Sun having a baby but not by Kwon would be a hint to which is referenced by the number 42.

I also believe that the Jacob and Esau reference is pertinent, it symbolizes the struggle for control like the Bible story. We know it can't be Cain and Able huh, but that was more of a story of sacrifice? But the un-named one being a likeness of Cerberus just shows the deeper use of symbols that the story revolves around.

==============

Keep your feet on the ground and your head above them!

Hi ABC & Josin

Excellent Q & A on page 5

I was watching the reruns of season 1-2-3 on CW28
Not really sure if it was a new show or old then I got my cable
re-hooked up in a new apartment.

Jacob is definitively dead and I do not think he is coming back.

The Man in Black and Jacob were the main contenders for control
of The Island although Charles Widmore was allied with one or playing
both sides against the middle.

ABC has a great site for lost. There is a sneak peek up where BEN is
in a side time flash talking about Napoleon exiled to Elba....

As an allegory for the power struggle continuing for control of the Island.

By steering The Island... Eye Of The Hurricane/ Quantum Fields
You are in effect controlling the destiny of all mankind.

Even if you are only exercising veto power.

The Island could be viewed as "GOD" all caps and the person controlling it
a four part character in classic terms Ghost Devil Satan Lucifer.

In my writing Ghost always is the navigator.
While Devil Satan Lucifer characters specialize in See-Move-Think functions and responsibilities.

Thanks for those questions and answers ABC and Josin I'll have to read them a bunch of times.

ABC... my Jacob guesses were lucky guesses from previous stories I've written.
His wheel of 777 (777-Jesus forgiveness bible reference)candidates and
three fold mirror "triptych" was the symbol engine he used to talk to The Island's Quantum Field Mind.


The only clues for Desmond I spot is "Penny Lane" and "When I am Sixty-Four" by The Beatles.

64 is a magic number mathematically as 2x2x2x2x2x2 as 2-4-8-16-32-64

The number sequence 4-8-15-16-23 & 42

Is a symbol puzzle for stealing energy fields.

4 is {} A legal proper lightcone-future or past
8 is {}{} Two legal lightcones; one as past and one as future forming a available line

{} ----- {}

15 introduces riddle {} 1 ----- 5 {} shown just above a single movement thru fabric of spacetime.

16 introduces riddle {} 1 --- --- 6 {} This riddle is two equilateral triangles pressing outward
Over Riding and Over Writing the time line already on the Space-Time Fabrics.

A <--------Island--------A

Two three sided fields as six sides pushing outward to form 00-00 as two giant figure eights on their side as the great circuit of past and future.

23 is a straight up number for the ratio of exotic or dark matter in the common seeable universe

Matter 1% Radiation 3% Dark Matter 23% Dark Energy 73% Total 100%

The wheel Ben turned to end season four that exiled him was built right in the cross currents of Dark Energy & Matter.

Its a parallel to the old ship "Black Rock" You cant see the apex but you can feel its effect.

42 is really a true riddle and the first counterfeit number.

Similar to the two triangle picture I drew 42 is really 24 in reverse.

Dark Matter ratio 24 % as time is imprinted in reverse changing the
course of each characters "World-Line"

The full execution of a time adjustment looks like equation.

4-8-15-16-23-42
Vs
4-8-15-16-23-24
4-8-15-16-24-23
Vs
4-8-15-16-23-24

By entering 4-8-1/5-1/6-23-42 into the stations you are confirming
the previous 1-0-8 pattern of time that equals for convenience sake 108 minutes.

If you enter 4815162423 you over-ride the previous 108 minutes and the global time-line goes backwards instantly 108 minutes.
With no detectable malfunctions. Although the flashes on the Island are quite annoying to the residents.



Don't tell anyone I told you all this stuff or they send the man in black after me. 8-)
Actually I am a aspiring sci-fi fantasy writer of elaborate works of fiction.

Thanks again ABC and Josin for your Q & A that shall be very helpful catching up.

The future and past exist in abstract form.


If you were to slowly move about in from your kitchen to living room
and every fourth step; or at random you said; "click that"s a frame ten
times or so; then when the bomb went off you could imagine that some of the clicks you just
made got erased and the universe has now forgotten you occupied those ten frames and the world-line
or bridge of light (lightmach abridgement/soul) photons known as Sam posting that question would
have ten missing frames of its eternal or (small infinity spiral) story missing that were most definitively
the person Sam writing this post private eternal property as a worldline

That is why the characters are so obsessed with children.

They are the newest abstract world-lines reaching into the future and touch the "Abstract Island"
moving through time space fabrics in far distant area of the breathing bellowing fabrics of space time
equations.

Scientist no longer think of gravity they think of a permanent conversation between the Earth Moon & Sun in numbers
or spins one left, one right, two left, and two right, with actual particle size not important.

If a bomb goes off it rips the fabrics seeking to re-balance its spin fields by talking to the closest fabric.

Hence a huge cloud of light and X-Ray Gamma Rays as the fabric try to knit back together.
A frame of your past or future might be affected as it hungrily reach thru time-space for spin particles.

Hope that helps Sam

So if a nuke goes off in my kitchen only clicks of me would be erased from universal memory, I was under the impression I would be dislodged from the time-space mainframe in totality. I mean everyone knows that photon balance in the high energy fields of a atomic explosion that produce tachyon vibrations that would dislodge the said poster (Sam in this case) from the linear flow of the worldline, but yet the material charge of the spin particles will always find the next fabric frame to relay the photonic imprint to, right?

But in the case of the Swan not only would the present case (me now) experience the fragmentation of temporal displacement on a photonic basis but the past and future me would have to in turn have to have "snapped frames" for them to be affected before or after the present representation of the time in which I perceive myself locked. How could the gamma x-ray fabric ever relocate itself in temporality without the radiant signature of frames yet to be clicked or those that have been long locked by the noted spin particles of the worldline in which they should be permanently assimilated?

Noting the advancement of sciences beyond the archaic theorems of gravitational linkages in space-time and the continuum they inhabit one must still maintain matters objective flow in the lightmach abridgement scale when balancing temporal lodgment of the individual anomalies of matter that will be temporally separated from the spin particles in the case of tachyon biorelocation to the next fabric flow.

I can't object to that argument one wit and agree totally most specifically the transfer seekage.

The hold up seems to be in the "Temporal Displacement" The torque differential between
the instantaneous transfer of information and the slower transformation of matter.

I think were both right and in between is the link the writers are trying to establish.

That one girl who died that Faraday was in love with.
She was born on the Island so her worldline begin and terminate on the island.
Yet she lived off the island for a while. This seems a clue to the harmful effects
of the flashes and island motions. Because they emphasis her physical and mental vulnerability.

Also Desmonds relation with Penny seems to be the only thing that stops his
mind from becoming a mushy haze of bad jokes and second rate sawyerisms.

So the writers are definitely playing to what I see as the differential between a perfect
circle as a mathematical infinity and a slightly imperfect circle in the dark matter dark energy
push pull ratio of the self talking q-fields.

I rather liked this episode. There was some awkward exposition -- "Dad, as you know I have a PhD in European History." "Yes son. As you know, I brought us to that strange island thirty years ago so you could have a better life." -- but they did not, as one of my friends feared, kill off an often-excellent character. Viva Ben Linus.

Hey Sammie:
I know you told me not to say, "you're right, you're right, you're right, but what am I supposed to say when you are right about everything? I mean all the connections that you say Lost has with movies and shows and especially with the Pirates of the Caribbean, how can anybody not see that you are right?

Last nights episode even proved it to me more, out of all the examples of history that Ben could have used when he was talking to Alex he used the East Indian Trading Co. How is that a coincidence? It's as obvious as the nose on your face. I can not believe that some one hasn't mentioned it already!

I watched Memento and I saw how the incident changed the guys life by his lack of short-term memory and how the incident on Lost seemily changed the memories of the people involved, I am sure there is more to that.

Now I've watched Fallen and I see how Jacobs touch is a curse, just like they said in last nights episode, it couldn't be more obvious, how can people not get it?

So you're right, you're right, you're right...Ha...Ha...Ha...

Could you please tell me more about the lamp post and how C.S. Lewis is involved in the Lost story or how any other clues might let me know more about Lost's deeper meaning?

Re: Lost - Possible Spoilers!

Posted: March 10th, 2010, 8:59 pm

Steppe...

Yeah Memento was a tricky flick, you know it has ties to The Number 23, huh? Of course "the incident" in Memento effects the short term memory but in The Number 23 the incident Walter experiences is the fall which totally wipes his memory of the whole killing he committed to set-up the story. There's also a link to Stranger than Fiction in 23 with a leap of faith Will Ferrell almost takes in that story, but 23 and stranger cross reference each other quite often.

What about this, the names of the main characters of Lost and of 23 make up the name Jack sparrow, of course it makes up Walter Shephard too but that's a reference to a puzzle book I had when I was a kid, Mazes and Labyrinths.

Do you know that there are many references to Lost in The Number 23, most of them are hard to find but a couple are really easy. First when Walter is talking to the dog, Ned, he says " there's an old house in the woods with a thin man in it with a really strange smoke coming from it" (roughly) that's a pretty good one. The easiest tie between the two is that when Walter think he finds the killer and confronts him in jail, Kyle Flinch "is Jacob" the actor, but if that's not good enough when he walks outside and tells his wife Kyle isn't the killer he does it by adding the number of Kyle's first, middle and last name and it's not 23, but, guess what Kyle Flinch's middle name is? One guess should do! I guess you have to see it for yourself though or be "playing the game".

======

L.Girlie

You don't have to tell me I'm right all the time, we'll assume it! (guess where)

Yep the West Indies Trading Company was a pretty blatant clue, but what about the chain in the boat that Richard was restrained by and the fact that Jack Sparrow was chain to the boat in the end of the second movie? Of the fact that Ben was digging up Davey' Jones heart, you did notice the dialogue about stabbing the heart and the reference to control in the next scene huh? Did that digging scene remind you of anything else? What about The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, notice than the diamond treasure was right beside the grave they he was digging in, they were playing with diamonds in the end weren't they?

Crazy reference huh, I wonder if someone will wind up in that hole? That's not near as strange as the reference we got last week when Claire chopped the black other guy in the chest which referenced The Shinning huh, Redrum, Redrum, hey, didn't the wife from 23 find the answers to Walter's problems in a Red room? Weird...

But, what about the submarine periscope scene, didn't that seem a little silly, you know, silly like a.. Gilligan's Island, yes even Gilligan isn't safe from Lost, seeing how in one episode a "lost" WW2 Japanese submariner shows up in the lagoon to take everyone hostage on the island. And seeing how, "The Chosen" references a power struggle and a father wanting a son to replace him right after WW2 then Charles Widmore pop's up in a sub, that should be a huge clue for even the non-game players.

But you asked about the Lamppost huh?

Look, most the movies and shows and books I mention when talking about Lost are works in higher awareness and the links can be "in your face" or "almost impossible to make, but..

The work of C.S. Lewis is definitely a great example of where Lost is going. How's this? When Lewis was doing the layout for Narnia he also came up with the ending first, as we know (if we know Narnia) the White Witch in the end of the series grabs a piece of a lamppost from"this world" and throws it, in which it lands in Naria and grows into the lamppost we're all familiar with in the beginning of the work. If she hadn't done this the lamppost wouldn't be near the wardrobe and Lucy might have never met Mr. Tumnus.

That's exactly how Lost is going to work because, the way the island was formed, the beginning of the island is actually the end of the series. But I can't give much more away than that without spoiling it for everyone.

But just when Lost ends and you think all is, Lost, it isn't. The story will have already continued in... V!

That's right for all of you who are just so Lost, you better start watching V when it comes back on or you'll never get to the true end of the story in which there is none. Because unbeknownst to the non-game players (we're all playing the game just some not as deep) V is connected to Independence Day which is connected to I' Robot and Six Degrees of Separation, but not by Kevin Bacon unless you go through Flatliners and 24 which brings us back to 23 and of course Lost...

So, everyone really should start paying closer attention or you'll be Lost Forever and ever and ever...Danny..

Did I mention King Kong and the island with another Jack and of course the writer in The Shining, remember, all work and no play!

Did you know that in M. Night's movie Lady in Water that the monster is a reference to the original moving topiary in The Shining it was replaced in the movie by a maze, Never-mora, Never-mora..

And for all of those out there whom think I'm "Crazy as Hell", you should just watch it.. :)
