 		[SPEC] The nature of Hanso Foundation
I'm going to go ahead and post my theory here even though I promised I wouldn't talk about it for a while...

I think the Hanso Foundation and Alvar Hanso are somehow related to alchemy.

Alvar Hanso is an arms dealer, which means he sells weapon for money. Figuratively speaking, this means he convers lead (guns) into gold (money). Nyuk, nyuk. But on a more serious note, someone over at LostPedia made the connection between Magnus Hanso and St. Nicholas the Great. Read it for yourself here, but remember it has spoilers!

Also, the Hanso Foundation is trying to extend lifespans and eradicate disease -- the same things that the alchemists were trying to do with things like the panacea and the elixir of life.

I've already seen several connections in TLE to the alchemists. For example, the "Japanese Mouse" that the people over at RoT talk about -- that mouse is Kaguya, the parthenogenical mouse, but in the Japanese legend, Kaguya the moon princess gave the Emperor of Japan the elixir of life.

I didn't want to say anything about this for THE LONGEST TIME, because I was afraid of TPTB changing the story-line on me and not continuing with this vein, but I can't keep it to myself any longer.

 		I wouldn't expect the PMs to change the storyline, since it's so clearly tied to the show, and changing the nature of the main organization in the show (apparently) can change the storyline they've meticulously set up.

As it is, things could clearly go more in one direction or in another -- they can simply change the rules on us at will. They're not as bound as we would like to think...
