In his spare moments Traumberg started researching the ethnopharmacology of a hundred or so known and documented psychoactive plants across the world, exploring their historical ritual uses and functions in shamanic healing, in magic, religion, sex, divination, protection, modern medicine and in mental enhancement.

He became curious about their chemical composition and studied the compounds in each plant which produce the psychoactive effects. He made lists of the active substances, the alkaloids, and wondered whether inserting their molecular formulae into the codes of his trading algorithms would have a similar effect as the drugs themselves have on the human brain, i.

Inevitably when the presence of these rogue algorithms came to light at the bank his bosses traced the problems back to Traumberg. Suspecting a nervous breakdown due to the stresses of the job they released him from his employment. With his substantial savings Traumberg moved to a penthouse apartment on the other side of town at Embassy Gardens, a New York Meatpacking District styled riverside complex recently constructed around the new U.

Embassy in Nine Elms on the southside of the Thames. Most mornings Traumberg went for a stroll around his new neighbourhood. From the local flower market he built up a collection of plants with supposed psychoactive properties which soon filled his living room shelves and penthouse roof garden.

One day, staring at the list he had compiled of the botanical names of his plants he decided to conduct a gematria experiment. Using his rudimentary knowledge of the Hebrew language, gained during his school days, Traumberg made numerical experiments translating the botanical names of psychoactive plants into phonetic Hebrew and then deriving their numerical equivalents.

He discovered that, for example, Mandrake, Mandragora officinarum had a gematria value of Adding together the 9 the 7 and the 0 made 16 and then adding the 1 and the 6 made 7. A copy of the Financial Times on his desk prompted him one day to check the numerical equivalents of the plants against the top companies in the FT Global index.

Traumberg found that the two final numbers for Mandrake, 16 and 7, corresponded to Petro China and Wells Fargo which came 16th and 7th respectively in the FT index. Traumberg compiled a gematria chart of all the plants, listing their botanical names alongside their global companies equivalents. Join over , Finance professionals who already subscribe to the FT.
