One plate, many entries

  • ~42%Cortical PET ~42%

    The Book printed a ~42% cortical PET figure and then demoted it as sealed law. The demotion is the object.

  • ~40–42 HzGamma band ~40–42 Hz

    Gamma activity is a band, commonly around 40 Hz. Forty-two is not a consciousness constant.

  • ~42°26′ NIthaca, N.Y.

    The city sits near 42°26′ N. A coordinate, not a cipher, and not Homer’s island.

  • ~41–42 kaLaschamps

    A real geomagnetic excursion dated around forty-two thousand years ago. Cooper, Turney and colleagues named a transitional phase the Adams Event. Homage is a fact about the paper’s naming. It is not Hitchhiker proof.

  • ~42°Pyramid lateral edge

    The face slope is ~51.8°. The corner walks the half-diagonal and rises near 42°.
