4

Dana Olsen shows how a master number can sit inside a name and still vanish from the result. Dana adds to 11, which stays whole, Olsen adds to 20 and reduces to 2, and 11 plus 2 makes 13, which reduces to 4. Adding every letter at once gives 31, and the same 4.

Balliett in 1905 casts the people of this number as those who put up the buildings that number 1 designs, and she has them working hard for what they earn. Walton in 1914 calls 4 heavy and hard to turn from its course, with a liking for analysis and discussion.

Sepharial's 1911 list agrees on solidity and strength. Cheasley in 1916 is cooler and pairs endurance and concentration with a lack of inspiration. In modern popular numerology an Expression of 4 usually means method and patience applied to practical tasks, and that reading is shorthand for these older lists.
