“Rule of six” - what else could it mean”

[Stannisbaratheonsboxofmatches]

It puts me in mind of a sci fi or fantasy adventure book -“The Book of Six” by Boris R R R R Johnson.

What does it put you in mind of?

The rule of 6 (or is it 7) kids?

666 sign of the Boris
(or probably Cummings, probably the source of B's pronouncement)

To me it sounds like a golden ratio or something. Or a hermetic order of the golden dawn buzz word.

It sounds like the omerta of a sinister, somewhat criminal society.

Perhaps the elite who will be controlling the sheep with chips and 5G

Something mathematical, to do with chaos theory or degrees or separation maybe and the butterfly effect etc.

Excellent thread!

It sounds like some satanic cult movement to me.

A Sherlock Holmes adventure
Yep - The Sign Of Three (2014) episode was based on the ACD story The Sign Of The Four [deerstalker]

The rule of 6.....6.....6
The beast returns to earth to destroy us all.

Like oyster am now singing 6 - 6-6 the number of the beast..>iron maiden>hand maiden >welcome to Gilead..., my mind just runs away with itself!

Rule of Six makes me think of Rule of 2 (Sith).

The Rule of Sith sounds very similar!

And perhaps that’s what we’ve got...

A complicated bit of pensions legislation.

Or a Dan Brown novel.

I thought of the Sith too.

In Buffy there were the three.

I’m thinking this an enhanced version.

'The Number of the Beast' an album.by Iron Maiden, a band named after a method of torture.

Sounds like an instruction from Henry VIII. Makes me think of Six the musical (which we had tickets for in July but sadly never got to see)

'The joy of six! ' Nicky Cambell joked on five live the other day and it made me laugh ( for about a minute, it is grim it's had to be introduced at all :(
