The technique known as the "Major System", invented in the seventeenth century by Johann Winkelmann, is a conversion code to convert numbers into phonetic sounds. Those sounds can then be turned into words, which can in turn become images for a memory palace. The code works like the following...
| # | Char |
|---|---|
| 0 | S |
| 1 | T or D |
| 2 | N |
| 3 | M |
| 4 | R |
| 5 | L |
| 6 | Sh or Ch |
| 7 | K or G |
| 8 | F or V |
| 9 | P or B |
To create meaningful words, you can freely intersperse vowels, just not the consonants.
Examples:
- 32 → MN → Man
- 33 → MM → Mom
- 86 → FSh → Fish
- 3219 → 32 + 19 → MN + TB → Man [with a] tuba
Shout-out to the book Moonwalking with Einstein for introducing me to this system. It's neat.
