−
−	Let's take special note of the timestamps on certain tweets and talk about the mirroring aspects of the 2016 sequence vs 2017. Many of 2016s posts are "negative" and have a "positive" companion on the 2017 side.
−
−
−	In 2016, the sequence begins with "6/6/6", the 3:11am timestamp is hidden in Left Side Drive and can be seen at UTC -6 - the distance of time between Nothing is Real and Left Side Drive is 51 days, the same length of time as the siege in Waco, the overall 55/110 sequence is broken for the first and only time at that point.
−
−
−	In 2017, the 51 day length of time is reversed to 15 days using Amo Bishop Roden, 3:11pm now hides in UTC +7, the larger sequence stands unbroken in 2017 when viewed from start (28/3) to finish (28/12) (220 + 55 days)
−
−
−	31/7/16 - 2:25 PM (New Brunswick Canada time) - The peacock logo was first used by NBC on May 22nd, 1956. We can use that date as a clue to the time zone for this post. Aside from 522 + 225 = 747, we use 5x22 (110) as the number of days between the last post of 2016 and the first of 2017, and double it (220) for the length of time between March 28th, 2017 and November 3rd, 2017.
−
−
−	24/8/16 - 2:57 PM UTC +2 - The idea of this post is to tune your time zone to +2 UTC so that the post's timestamp matches the Cosecha console. This post is the "fnord" of the sequence. It breaks 2016's overall sequence, when added, it becomes 32 (the opposite of 23 for you Illuminatus! buffs), the negative connotation of "51 days" which is later reversed in 2017 down to the number 15 - however, that UTC +2 timezone becomes useful on 8/12/16.
−
−
−	14/10/16 - 3:11 AM UTC -6 - on March 28th, 2017 (the first day of the 2017 sequence) an old tweet from 11/3/12 was deleted from their timeline which brought this post into focus. Conceptually, the still photo of this post is in Banff National Park, which is UTC -6. In 2017, the presumed final post has a timestamp of 3:11 PM when we use UTC +7 instead.
−
−
−	8/12/16 - 10:57 AM UTC +2 - The final post of 2016. When tuned to UTC +2 per Nothing is Real, the time is 10:57 AM. Other than the :57 part, it's essentially a reverse of the 2:57 PM timestamp if you look at it as a 12 hour window and am vs pm. 10 x 57 is 570. If we add 570 days to 6/6/16, we land at 28/12/17, the presumed end of the sequence.
−
−
−	12/9/17 - 11:32 AM/12:28 PM UTC +3 - This is a tricky one. BoC tweeted Amo Bishop Roden and 56 minutes later, "Mike Sandison" tweeted again linking back to the official account. Treat these as a pair that add up to a perfect 24 hours. 28/12/17 is also the presumed end of the sequence. Remember that "Palace Posy" is the top song on their Soundcloud. We track it down to video 14 on their Youtube playlist, and it's what appears to be a very Russian video. The fact that its to date the only video published by this account makes it seem like another one of those burner accounts in the spirit of Atalanta Fugiens. Anyways, Russia is +3 UTC - when we apply UTC +3 to the tweets, we get the above timestamps.

−	~~27/9/17 - 3:11 PM UTC +7 - Conceptual mirror of the 14/10/16 post. Same timestamp, but pm instead of AM, using +7 UTC instead of -6 UTC.~~

−	They posted a new fan video for "[[Open the Light]]" on December 8th, alongside a simultaneous heavy revamp of their [[Websites\|Youtube channel]] playlists, which had been in need of some upkeep as by that time, as there were multiple broken or delisted videos from over the years. What was interesting about the "[[Open the Light]]" post is that it wasn't cross-posted to Facebook, the same as "[[Peacock Tail]]" back on July 31st. I feel that these omissions from their Facebook account weren't an accident but rather, those 2 entries were only relevant to a pattern that they were establishing at their Twitter account, but more on that in the Posting Details section.	+	They posted a new fan video for "[[Open the Light]]" on December 8th, alongside a simultaneous heavy revamp of their [[Websites\|Youtube channel]] playlists, which had been in need of some upkeep as by that time, as there were multiple broken or delisted videos from over the years.

−	Rather than a new release announcement at the end of the year, the Youtube video channel revamp seems to have joined the campaign midway to serve as a map of sorts, providing vague hints to assist in navigating the numeric trails being blazed at both their Facebook and Twitter accounts for those who were trying to pay attention. I'll go into more detail on that as the timeline continues to progress.

−	~~==== Broken Drum ====~~

−	Going back to 2016, the Broken Drum retweet set up its own sub-pattern starting in July 2016. The original posting date (7/7) is obfuscated on Twitter because it's a retweet, but it was mentioned on the [[Twoism (messageboard)]] <ref>http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=263668#p263668</ref> on the day that it was first posted. This means that there were posts on 7/7, 31/7, and 24/8 - the commonality is that the posts were separated by 24 days each. The retweet approach seems as if it was intentional, to separate it from the main pattern and hide the existence of the smaller pattern.

−	Ultimately, I feel that this retweet represented the upcoming broken pattern by Nothing is Real - 24 days preceding it, 51 days following it. It also served to obfuscate the 55 day period between Macquarie Ridge and Peacock Tail, and to get people thinking about 6/6 -> 7/7 - 8/8 early on, rather than a more complex sequence that would stretch out for over a year instead of just a few months.

 Most importantly, when we stack the posting and event dates, we come up with some other interesting stuff, drawing parallels between Tomorrow's Harvest's release date and the presumed new release date.  Take note that the years are each 16 away from 100, which means they both add to 100:
