Been reading a few breads and having read your post a few things occurred to me, which may have occurred to many but the thoughts may not have been articulated because of assumptions or other things….
Seems there may still be problems in figuring things out because of _ being used as well as ALL CAPS, spaces in between [ and ], etc…
The thing with code breaking, especially with the way the crumbs are being dropped and the venue in which it is done, is that it is useless if the meaning of certain characters always changes, or there is no pattern to the changes. It would make understanding the code too difficult.
Q has always said future proves past. I believe that it also points to how to learn to read the map, ergo how to read those symbols we have problems with properly.
By going back to read the map after events have happened should allow us to see what those odd usages of symbols, formatting, etc, meant. That newfound knowledge could then be applied to the new crumbs being dropped. We seem to have failed to do that, looking at new crumbs as though we have to start from scratch.
I believe we should have been at the point of understanding what (P) means in the line
Roths (cult)(church)(P)
but we're still speculating about who or what (P) is.
I believe that characters and symbols are used according to time (when the crumbs occurred and/or when is something to occur in the future), place (where is it going to happen - NK, USA, EU, SA, etc), form (how is something occurring/going to occur - air, sea, land, space, physically), and event (what is occurring/going to occur - [house] fire, narrative, twitter, awards, exchange of people for docs[?], etc).
So there are many ways to view the data due to the variables given but once we have the pattern and/or legend nailed then it will become a breeze as to how to read the crumbs/map.
Using the same characters may then read differently according to whether a crumb is pointing to an event, an individual or an Office.
Just my thinking on this stuff.
