I've been doing a lot of reading and it appears that CCP used Dust 514 as a bunch of meta things... like the day Dust came out of beta, the eventual number of players etc.
but lore wise, the Amarr found the Jovian's technology to transfer consciousness and used it to build clones. However, the Jovians used their own technology to try to escape the physical world and entered a digital/spiritual world. They became Sleepers. In this other world some evil... "thing" figured out how to take advantage of their technology and slowly started taking over Sleepers.
When the Templars were created this "thing" tried to take over the Templars. They went crazy, killed the scientists, and themselves, but not before writing 514 in blood on the wall. The 514 was the only way they could try to communicate what they had found out, but it didn't make sense because they were mostly insane by that point.
The story hints heavily that the 514 means that there are/ were 5 races, but 1 entity/ thing had taken over one of them, and only the 4 (Caldari, Gallente, Amarr, and Minmatar) were left.
Also, Empress Jamyl Sarum cloned herself, something no Amarr Emperor was supposed to do. In doing so it seems like she "fractured" her mind... or it could mean that this evil entity thing has now found someone of enough wealth, power, and influence to try to start it's plans in motion....
Only Templar 1 can save us now... |

. 5 lobes, 1 consciousness, 4 empires. also 5-1=4
Yup, that too. Also there are a few bible versus that go along with that number and mesh well with the Eve/ Dust universe. And then there's the Amarr "bible" that has a verse that pertains to 514 too.
If you ask me, I think they came up with 1 meaning for 514, and then CCP started trying to fit all sorts of obscure references to 514 to make it more mysterious. If Logibro does know the "true" meaning and is refusing to tell all of us, then it is most likely something trivial and development related. I think this because CCP has done little to nothing to give us hints or encourage theories outside of what's in the book Templar 1.
So, I suppose, Logibro's withholding of information is just another way to make it more "mysterious."
