Text page 83 also includes:

"However, to set you right so far I will say - one life in each of the seven
root-races; seven lives in each of the 49 sub-races - or 7 x 7 x 7=343 and
add seven more.

The "add seven more" is crucial: it is spiral progress, not linear
repetition.

What of 343?  It is triad/quarternary 'both ways' (i.e. 3>4<3 ).

What of 343+7? It is 350, which is 'half' of 700.

Best,
Paul
