Erik Erikson and Svetlana Svetlichnaya

Listed on Wikipedia’s Notable Deaths in 2024 site between November 16–18 are the following who stand out: 

• ʻAna Taufeʻulungaki (10 May 1946– 18 November 2024) 78, Tongan politician
• Sergey Govorushko (9 May 1955 – 16 November 2024)  69, geographer.
• Dejan Despić (11 May 1930 – 16 November 2024)  94, classical composer, author
• Svetlana Svetlichnaya (15 May 1940 – 16 November 2024) 84, actress 
• Coloso Colosetti (May 19, 1948 – November 16, 2024)  76,  professional wrestler 

We now have a “May 9, 10, 11, __, …, 15, …, 19/Date Sequence” pattern cluster in the works.  We are being prompted to bridge the May 12th gap to continue the sequence.  On doing so we venture to the May 12 wikipedia page and using the formula as per usual, we arrive at: 

• 1994 – Erik Erikson (15 June 1902 – 12 May 1994)  psychologist and psychoanalyst 
• 1994 – John Smith (13 September 1938 – 12 May 1994) Labour Party leader 
• 1999 – Saul Steinberg (June 15, 1914 – May 12, 1999) illustrator 
• 2000 – Adam Petty (July 10, 1980 – May 12, 2000) race car driver 
• 2001 – Perry Como (May 18, 1912 – May 12, 2001)  singer and television host 
• 2001 – Alexei Tupolev (20 May 1925 – 12 May 2001) designed the Tupolev Tu-144 

As you can see, the cluster now expands into a : 

“May 9, 10, 11, 12,__ ,__, 15, __, __, 18, 19, 20/Date Sequence” pattern cluster 

As well as generating a “June 15(x2)” pattern cluster.  And note the following information on this recent addition to the Notable Deaths list: 

• S. M. Khan  (15 June 1957 – 17 November 2024) 67, Indian Information Service officer

And so expanding the cluster into a perfect thand of 3: a “June 15(x3)” pattern cluster.

An interesting cluster forming with two of the individuals above re Erik Erikson and Svetlana Svetlichnya, is that the first 4 letters of their first name is the same as the first 4 letters of their last name— Erik and Svet.  I discovered that Svet means strong and powerful and Eric means ever powerful, one ruler.  

Usually the inner twin world use clusters of two as a prompt to seek out a third, so in trying to think of a first name where its first four letters are the same as the first four letter of the last name,  I though of John Johnson.  On googling John Johnson I came to a wiki page of all famous persons by that name… and there were way too many, so I perused the years (birth and/or death)associated with each for a year containing 3 identical number sequence (like as per the formula) and I found one: 

• Johnny Johnson III (born 1999), American football player
• Johnny Johnson III (born May 14, 1999)

Who, as intended, adds to the cluster: 

• “May 9, 10, 11, 12,__ ,14, 15, __, __, 18, 19, 20/Date Sequence” pattern cluster

Who would like to bridge the May 13 gap?
