Zodiackiller.com Message Board: Theories: Quadrants of Method

I'd like to tie together my Quadrants of Method theory with the image of the directional key from the NOAA map. In the following image I've taken my proposed quadrant layout, rotated it to account for magnetic north, and superimposed it onto the directional key.


There's a few important points here.

• The quadrant layout was constructed prior to finding the directional key. It was created based soley on the evidence in the case.
• The "zodiac" vectors (0-11) are every 30 degrees. Not surprisingly, they line up with the 30-degree tick marks of the magnetic north circle. Interestingly, only the 30-degree ticks are labeled on the magnetic north circle.
• The inside of the magnetic north circle has a curious set of tick marks that are apparently 1/128th of circle (32 per quadrant). The is very interesting because the 45-degree ticks are the most heavily emphasized (apart from the axes). This is precisely the location where I have the quadrants changing. At the time I couldn't see why one would choose such an alignment (apart from a general notion of symmetry). This is one possible explanation.
