OUTWARD TRENDS: The Shortwave Number Ladies
One good explanation I heard a few years ago come from a caller to the now defunct Rollye James Show. Now, anybody can call in a talk show and say whatever they want to, but this man seemed to clearly define what is going on. He made a lot of sense. Basically, the numbers are related to a page in a book, then a sentence on that page, followed by a word in the sentence and then finally, a letter in the word. The book could be anything, fiction, non-fiction, the Bible, Moby Dick, whatever. However, both parties must have the same book. (And you'd better start listening at the top of the broadcast or else the sequencing is thrown off.)
The man ended his call when he stated he had probably said more than he should have and hung up.
