Osci: SRO stands for single-room occupancy. SRO hotels provide a cozy, economical last refuge for those whose encounters with "price trajectory slope" have been less than positive.
As for your other questions (on grids, circles, angles, etc.), as intriguing as they may have been in Gann's time, they clearly address outmoded concepts rooted in Euclidean geometry and a Newtonian mechanistic view of price action. As compelling as these ideas were in their day, they've been superseded -- indeed, rendered meaningless -- by developments in quantum mechanics.
New concepts based on general relativity, a nonlinear geometry and a four-dimensional view of space-time now actually make it possible for the trader to transgress the traditional boundaries of technical analysis. In fact, the postmodern trader, enjoying a new contextual relationship to a multidimensional, relativistic, collaborative market, finds it possible to actually travel into the past or future to analyze charts -- and, as counterintuitive as it may seem, even to execute orders (at slightly higher commissions).
I suspect you're keenly aware of these trading concepts for the new millennium, and have been holding back on us. In future notes, perhaps you'll spell out some of the more profitable techniques of the postmodern trader.
