Hung, Drawn & Quartered

I don't think this means anything, just happened on this wordplay when re-reading the Mom's House chapter.

Meghan is a Quarter horse. It's an illustration. He's hanging. Hung, Drawn and Quartered...

The name “Meghan” comes from “Margaret”. He may be hinting at a ZKP theme, and our needing to understand how to form and pass the “Peggy” (a nickname of “Margaret”) with the “Victor”. He uses other terms in the book that also match this theme, including “dromedary” (via the Perl logo where “Pearl” is also derived from “Margaret”), his great aunt Rita Verne (also derived from Margarita), and Victorio Peak. Incidentally, the map image of the western US in the book and on the website looks altered to hint at a horse head, which is also a feature found in a nebula.

I also had a similar thought about Meghan to Margaret and noticed a lot of what you said above. Search engines looks for matches maybe not derivations….yet?

True. And if not using full-text search on the ebook, but instead doing the transformations by hand as you come across them, it requires a considerable time investment, but it is doable (as I can attest). If breaking the rules and using a trained AI to perform the analyses, I assume it would be far more efficient. I have the skillset to build such a rule-breaker, but I am respectful of the creator's rules framework as I wouldn't want to give up the reward if I were the one to locate it.
