Dark & Recursion: Largest Single Day Changes (11, 66, 89)

"Dark" and the novel "Recursion" are similar in that they are both philosophical on the nature of time.  In Dark the apocalypse occurs on June 27, 2020 as depicted in "Endings and Beginnings," the final episode of season 2.  In Recursion the world disintegrates on April 16, 2019.
  • The two dates are 438 days apart.

The 438th prime number is 3061:


2623 is the number to which 438 must be added to reach 3061:

2623 + (438) = (3061)


The largest point drop in the Dow's history prior to the 2020 market crash was 1175 points on February 5, 2018.  This record was broken on February 27, 2020 when the Dow fell 1190.95 points.

Consider the trading week (beginning on February 24, 2020) in which the old record was broken:

  • February 24   (- 1031.61)
  • February 25   (- 879.44)
  • February 26   (- 123.77)
  • February 27   (- 1190.95)
  • February 28   (- 357.28)


(1032 + 879 + 124 + 1191 + 357) = 3583, the 502nd prime number.


1191 + (502) = 1693, the 264th prime number.


From April 16, 2019 to February 27, 2020 is 317 days:


From February 27, 2020 to June 27, 2020 is 121 days:


  • 317 is the 66th prime number.
  • 66 is the 11th triangular number.

  • 121 is 11 squared.
  • 89 is the 11th Fibonacci number.

  • 372 is the number to which 89 must be added to reach 461  372 + (89) = (461).
  • 372 + (66) = 438
  • Prior to February 27, 2020 the difference between the largest point drop (1175) and largest point gain (1086) in the Dow's history was 89.

1693 + (89) = 1782

  • The 317th prime number is 2099.


  • 1782 is the number to which 317 must be added to reach 2099.

1782 + (317) = (2099)

(1693 + 89) + (317) = (2099)

  • March 30 to April 3   (- 584)
  • April 6 to April 9   (+ 2667)
  • April 13 to April 17   (+ 523)

Recall the significance of the number-prime relationship [344, 2311] to the trading week beginning on March 16, 2020.  The difference in the net change during the trading weeks beginning on March 9th and March 16th is 11 cubed:

(4011 - 2680) = 1331 = (11×11×11)

  • 23:11 military time is 11:11 on the twelve-hour clock.
  • 2311 is the 344th prime number.

344 + [(- 3583) + 455 - 2680 - 4011 + 2464 - 584 + 2667 + 523] = 344 + [- 4749] = - 4405

Recall:

  • June 27, 2020 is 121 days after February 27, 2020.
  • 121 is 11 squared.
  • 89 is the 11th Fibonacci number.
  • Prior to February 27, 2020, the difference between the largest point drop (1175) and largest point gain (1086) in the Dow's history was 89.
  • 1693 + (89) = 1782
  • 1782 is the number to which 317 must be added to reach 2099, the 317th prime number.

(2623 - 4045) = - 1782 = - (1693 + 89)

April 6   (+ 1627)
April 7   - 26
April 8   + 780
April 9   + 286

  • The net change during the week was (+ 2667) points.
  • The largest point gain during the week was 1627 points on April 6 (6/4), the first trading day of the week.

Using the most basic cypher (ordinal), "Dark" equals 34:


The 34th prime number is 139:



1627 - (139) = 1488 = (16×93)


Adding 678 to 198 gives the reflection (876):

  • 987 is the 16th Fibonacci number.
  • The number-prime relationship [235, 1483] can be represented by simply writing 1248, since 1248 is the number to which 235 must be added to reach 1483.
  • 1483 - (987) = 496

  • 235 + (987) = 1222
  • The number-prime relationship [231, 1453] can be represented by simply writing 1222, since 1222 is the number to which 231 must be added to reach 1453.

Dow: 2997 & 2353 Point Drops→(2353 − 1237) = 1116

The two largest daily point drops in the Dow's history are 2353 points on March 12, and 2997 points on March 16.

12 and 37 are divisors of 7992 (the reflection of 2997):

  • 7992 ÷ 12 = 666
  • 7992 ÷ 37 = (6×6×6)

37 is the 12th prime number:




Consider the trading week in which the 2997 point drop occurred:

March 16   - 2997.1
March 17   + 1048.86
March 18   - 1338.46
March 19   + 188.27
March 20 (20/3  - 913.21

The total daily point gains in the week were: 188 + 1049 = 1237.

  • 1237 is the (203)rd prime number.
  • The trading week ended on (20/3).


  • At 12:37 there is 11 hours and 23 minutes left in the day.
  • At 11:23 there is 12 hours and 37 minutes left in the day.

On the trading day prior to March 20 (20/3) the Dow gained 188 points.  1123 is the 188th prime number:


The Dow dropped 913 points on 20/3 (the last day of the trading week):

(913 + 203) = 1116

  • (11×16) = 176
  • The largest daily gain in the week was 1049.
  • 1049 is the 176th prime number.




Prior to the 2997 point drop, the largest daily point drop in the Dow's history was 2353 points on March 12.

(2353 − 1237) = (1116)


Recall the significance of the number prime relationship [264, 1693] to each large point drop that has occurred since early February 2018.  (16 times 93) equals 1488.

The numbers 1488 and 1116 have several divisors in common.  372 is a divisor of both 1488 and 1116:

(1488÷4) = 372
(1116÷3) = 372.

Adding 372 to 1116 is equal to 1488.

11 times 16 is equal to 176. The divisors of 176 are: (1, 2, 4, 8, 11, 16, 22, 44, 88 and 176).  The divisors of 176 sum to 372: (1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 11 + 16 + 22 + 44 + 88 + 176) = 372.

176 and 264 both have the common divisor of 88.

(264 ÷ 3) = 88
(176 ÷ 2) = 88.

Adding 88 to 176 is equal to 264.


  • 2997 is the largest daily point loss in the Dow's history and occurred on the first day of the trading week ending on 20/3.
  • The other daily losses during the trading week were 913 points on March 20 and 1338 points on March 18.
  • (913 + 1338) = 2251
  • 2251 is the 335th prime number.
  • Prior to the 2997 point loss, the largest daily loss was 2353 points.
  • 23:53 military time is 11:53 on the 12 hour clock.

(1153 + 335) = 1488

  • 1153 is the 191st prime number    191 is the 43rd prime number    43 is the 14th prime number.

(191 + 43 + 14) = 248

  • 248 is a divisor of 1488:



Perfect Numbers:


  • March 20 (20/3) leaves 286 days remaining in the year.
  • The 2353 point drop occurred on March 12 (12/3).
  • The 2997 point drop occurred on March 16 (16/3).
  • (123 + 163) = 286
  • 286 is formed by joining the second (28) and first (6) perfect number.
It is possible to represent a prime relationship by writing a single number.  For example, the number prime relationship [203, 1237] can be represented by simply writing 1034, since 1034 is the number to which 203 must be added to reach 1237.

1034 + (203) = (1237)


  • The divisors of 1034 sum to 1728.
  • The difference between 1034 and the sum of it's divisors is 694 (the reflection of 496, the third perfect number).

(1728 - 1034) = 694



[777, 5903]


  • The largest daily point drop in the Dow's history was 2997 points on March 16, 2020.
  • The 2997 point drop occurred on the first day of the trading week ending on March 20 (20/3), 2020.
  • Recall that the first significant point drop in 2018 was 666 points on February 2.
  • From the 666 point drop to March 20, 2020 is 777 days.


  • The 203rd prime number is 1237.
  • 37 is the 12th prime number.
  • 7992 (the reflection of 2997) ÷ 12 = (666)
  • 7992 ÷ 37 = (6×6×6)
  • 73 is the 21st prime number.
  • 21 = (7 + 7 + 7) = (7×3)

  • The second largest point drop in the Dow's history was 2353 points on March 12, 2020.
  • Recall the significance of the number-prime relationship [264, 1693].
  • 5903 is the 777th prime number.


7992 - (5903) + 264 = 2353



Successive Primes and Squares: (23)(53), (29)(97)


  • The two largest point drops in the Dow's history are 2353 points on March 12, 2020 and 2997 points on March 16, 2020.
  • The first two (23 and 29) and last two (53 and 97) digits of each number forms a prime number.
  • 23 and 29 are successive prime numbers (the 9th and 10th).
  • 53 is the 16th prime number and 97 is the 25th prime number.
  • 16 and 25 are successive squares.
  • 16 is (4)squared and 25 is (5)squared.

Jon Nödtveidt (777)

Nödtveidt was found dead August 13, 2006, a 777 day span after his 29th birthday.


In 1997 he was convicted of murder, a crime committed on July 22, 1997.  He died 343 days before the 10th anniversary of the murder.


343 = (7×7×7)


29 is the 10th prime number:


  • Joining the numbers 10 and 29 forms 1029.
  • 343 is a divisor of 1029.


1029 = 73 + 73 + 73
