I've been writing this blog for nine years and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find something new to write about! There is only one subject upon which I want to write and it is the one I choose not to do for now; my deciphering of Bessler's code. I know from the emails I get that many people want me to explain where the clues are, what they mean and why, but I am determined to build a proof of principle machine before I publish my conclusions. As I have said numerous times, if it fails I will then publish my conclusions because I think they are correct and it is possible that I might have made a simple error and the information will still lead to the correct solution.
I have good reasons for not publishing the information yet. In the past I have speculated on what the clues might mean and have been criticised for not making it clear that my comments were just conjecture or theory and not fact. So even though I may believe that I have found the solution, at this point I am not going to publish it, even if I clearly labelled it as speculation because I want it to be taken seriously - and that won’t happen without a working wheel. If, on the other hand, my construction does not work, then, rather than wait until proof arrives, I will publish under the title SPECULATION and explain in detail where the clues are, what they mean and why I think so. This I will do because I don't want time to slip by again and nothing gets published, ever.
The problem with speculation is that without proof most people prefer their own ideas and tend to dismiss other people’s theories. I have experienced this many times and have also dismissed the theories of others. So unless I can present my conclusions as fact backed up by a working wheel - or show that some of the clues I have found can be demonstrated as valid, I will await the results of my Bessler wheel construction before publishing.

I am unwilling to close the blog down until I am ready to publish everything, so if anyone has any ideas about a subject I could write in this blog, feel free to offer suggestions. After 566 posts, some of which are returns to previous posts, my ideas are drying up. Once my wheel has been built and tested there will be numerous posts but until then I will probably put the "Legend of Bessler's wheel", back up but leave space for comments.
If you comment with a suggestion, please do not be offended if I either decline to write about the subject or don't respond with a comment, or there is a delay in responding. My time for all sorts of things are limited by my New Year's Resolution. I am now fully concentrating on building the wheel and after the last year in which I was unable to find the time to spend on it, I am commited to finishing it and airing my conclusions as soon as possible.
I shall be 74 next month and I have found that as I age, time seems to have speeded up and I am worried that I might not finish the build before I am unable to finish it.
I look forward to any suggestions but if there are none I shall be satisfied that I have not neglected anything of importance.
