Subj: More Msg 9

Ok, this is the strangest (and most puzzling) message yet.
Here is a quick intepretation of the symbols...

'9' is a honeycomb-like structure
2 '9's are a part of a TCian.

[is '9' a body part?  Eyes? Brain? Genders?]

Block Arguement...
  Time 0		[Big Bang?  Genesis?]
  '3' '-m-' (TCEarth or infinity)
  Nothing is part of TCEarth
  '3' '-$-'
  '3' and '-$-' is water or '3'  [*]
  '3' '-*-' (TCEarth or water)
  'x'
End block

[*] This line could also be ('3' and Water) || ('3' and '-$-'),
but we've never seen H in a non-triple use.

To me, the last block is definitely thoughts about 
the beginnings of time and the universe.  We begin with
t=0, the ultimate beginning, and end with a simple statement
of 'light' ('x' = bright/hot or could be taken as 'light')
'3' seems to be some concept of either God or the whole
of existance. '-m-' seems to be 'existing' or 'created'
(definitely a verb of some form).  However, this use
sorta conflicts with its 'definition' in Message 8..

G-m-PGQAQHXHXGP-m-G (or '-m-' is "0+x=x")

where -m- seems to be 'everything'.  Although...thinking 
back to how '-H-' and '-P-' was used, then this usage for
'-m-' might be to imply truth (0+x=x is true), and truth
implies existance.   Hmmm.   Of course, existance is
a part of the whole of existance (-m-^3^-m-)

Also, why water?  It *is* interesting that they write it
as HOH, which fits confortably into their language, so
maybe they think of water as a basis for life ('Water of Life'
for example).  So in this case, maybe 'water' isn't the
actual thing, but a spritial term implying ...err. the
breath of life?  I dunno.

Anyway, to restate that last part, IMO...

At time 0,
  TCEarth or infinity existed in the whole of existance
  Nothing was a part of TCEarth
  The whole of existance "moved"(?)
  The whole of existance and "moving" made "Water of life" 
	or the whole of existance
  The whole of existance '-*-' TCEarth or the "Water of life"
  Light.

Weird...very weird.
