Nostradamus C3 Q04: Man's wastelands used to highlight 21stC science disasters.
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015

C3 Q4 L4..Even where the oracle has had its beginning.

The last line of text of this verse is clearly about a process that is at the starting point of a prophecy and it is reasonable to assume it refers to Nostradamus which in turn implies it relates to the means by which he gained his visions and then set them down. The earlier parts of the verse set details for this particular prophecy but it is not immediately apparent as to the threat by reading the text alone.

There are well structured clues in the anagrams that tell us that it is about his techniques and they include well known terms such as forsent, destine and portends. There are also less well known but very apt terms such as mnemonics and memes.

#meme: "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture". Memes act as units for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals etc..

# Mnemonics: learning techniques that aid information retention and recall. Their use is based on the observation that the human mind more easily remembers spatial, personal, surprising, physical, sexual, humorous, or otherwise "relatable" information.

There are also anagrams related to process with engravers disc cited  and mementoes  commences being prominent which are linked to a tale starting with an accident involving protons which create a sulfated wasteland garmented  by a crimson  darkness. There are also individual anagrams and sequences that strongly point to a disaster in nature since we have destine natural nature dies and accident verge in a line of text talking about dangers on a frontier (such as happens in science research). But this is not a new tale since it is linked to that in many other verses the context of which can be acquired from my paper called Geneva 2065.

Anagrams that help in giving meaning to this verse include:

1. Squander not defaults protons chose; portends uuetlands crop is uuastelands
2. Natural garmented men die instead nature starting destine Lune demented
3. For engravers disc is granted levers forsent frontierless accident  refers
4. Memes cement crimson palace mnemonics  louuer place.

Hence there is good reason to conclude that Nostradamus used the emotional props of colour and locational allusion to drive and record his visions of scientific research in our time.

C3 Q04
Original Verse in English and French (Benoit Ed.)

When they will be close the lunar ones will fail,
From one another not greatly distant,
Cold, dryness, danger towards the frontiers,
Even where the oracle has had its beginning.

Quand ſeront proches le defaut des lunaires
De l'vn a l'autre ne diſtant grandement
Froid ſiccite danger vers les frontieres
Meſme ou l'oracle a prins commencement.
