Mulligan,
Newton found the inspiration for his discoveries in the Emerald Tablets. A circle is a circle. It matter less whether you use billiard balls, planets, Fibonnaci ratios, sine waves, or what have you than that you see the universality of physics, as Newton and Gann did. Gann was not trying to teach particular methods as much as we was trying to teach a new (actually a very old) way to see. Here's a quote from Newton, that he believed to contain the sum of all that can be learned.
"The Emerald Tablet
Isaac Newton
Tis true without lying, certain & most true.
That wch is below is like that wch is above & that wch is above is like yt
wch is below to do ye miracles of one only thing.
And as all things have been & arose from one by ye mediation of one: so all
things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation.
The Sun is its father, the moon its mother, the wind hath carried it in its
belly, the earth its nourse.
The father of all perfection in ye whole world is here.
Its force or power is entire if it be converted into earth.
Seperate thou ye earth from ye fire, ye subtile from the gross sweetly wth
great indoustry.
It ascends from ye earth to ye heaven & again it desends to ye earth and
receives ye force of things superior & inferior.
By this means you shall have ye glory of ye whole world & thereby all
obscurity shall fly from you. 10) Its force is above all force. for it
vanquishes every subtile thing & penetrates every solid thing.
So was ye world created.
From this are & do come admirable adaptaions whereof ye means (Or process)
is here in this.
Hence I am called Hermes Trismegist, having the three parts of ye philosophy
of ye whole world.
That wch I have said of ye operation of ye Sun is accomplished & ended."
