This should be extremely interesting.  Thank you for making this
effort...  Astrological, Tarot and Numerological systems seem to be
used as both structural and symbolic frameworks everywhere in P. Your
contribution to our understanding of GR and its composition is likely
to be fruitful.  Apply for a grant somewhere! 

Not understanding these systems myself, I'm afraid I won't have much to
contribute here.  I do suggest that a baby ceases to be an "infant"
either when he becomes a "toddler" learning to stand and walk( about 18
mos?) or when he gains the power of speech (about two?).  I believe
that Jamf would have needed to condition and then de-condition him
before he could speak.  Assume that J would have been experimenting
with Infant T for a period of, say four months, which means he would
have had to begin work before I.T was 20 months old  at the latest. 
January 1920 minus 20 months gives us a "launch window" for little
Tyrone of no earlier than May 1818.  A "deal" with Jamf could have been
concluded before I.T was born, or even I suppose conceived, could it
not?  And Tyrones's theorizing about the deal and when and how it took
place are paranoid speculation on his part, and so should be approached
with caution.

PS
My kids learned to speak long ago, and my memory of their development
along those lines is probably little more than the "paranoid
speculation" I was warning you about above...  Do I have this about
right everybody?
