Solution to TELEPORT

[Publius Enigma]

I don't think that could possibly be the answer based on what Marc has explained and denied. That ain't an astral trip, either.

[Simulacra]

Of course it's not "the answer".

It's "an answer".

[Yeah but]

It's an answer that Marc said was wrong in the beginning of this adventure.

[Simulacra]

Then I believe that Marc has a very narrow view of art and it's possible effects. It isn't very surprising since most art is utterly boring.

Is this conversation available somewhere? The exact wordings of questions and answers is very important here.

And even if Marc doesn't consider what he's doing as art, I ask you to try to percieve the concept as art.

[Rememberer]

Marc took down the whole RedKore forum. The sort of concept you're talking about was brought up in the very beginning and he said: it really is a multi-dimensional transport device, it really is astral projection, it's not merely the act of thinking as transport in non-space, it also is not dependent upon the internet or other people, but once you've experienced a trip/opened a portal (forgot the exact wording), you may return at any time and meet up with friends there. Marc also said that it is really astral projection and what you are talking about isn't astral projection.

In addition, Marc denied that the act of playing with your trips was the experience or "trip" in itself when the TELEPORT system was compared to the Publius Enigma (in the Publius Enigma, the solution to the riddle was talking about the riddle, as the point of the riddle was to get groups of people to communicate). In this case, it was proposed that the TELEPORT system was about following your train of thought (thereby "transporting through nonspace") or following the clicks on the internet which lead to various ends (also a sort of "travel" through nonspace). Marc denied that these were the solutions to the puzzle or that this was even a puzzle at all.

So, if you're correct, than it's only ever-so-slightly different from all of that crap above... but, art is not astral projection. Astral projection is the separation of one's astral body from his corporeal self. It actually has a real definition, so it's not something with an open-ended mean we can play around with. It's in the dictionary and it's very clear that it is not mere thinking.

The point is, at the end of the day, will teleport offer a CLEAR and DEFINED conclusion? I didn't say 'solution' because they insist it is not a puzzle.. but shouldn't everyone be guaranteed they will get the same feeling you get when you solve a puzzle or finish reading a book or when a movie ends..

I spec'd in the beginning, then watched the forum grow like a cancer.
I'll spec it again.

Red Kore is an experiment for a college course or other. We are guinea pigs (well, you are, I escaped out of this a few weeks ago).
A few pieces of plastic cards, etc; a website; a mysterious "suggestion" about what do to.
This has generated a HUGE amount of posting bandwidth from around the world.

Now Mark can write his thesis.

Just so you know.

It has been pointed out many times by marc that this is NOT about astral projection.

But guys, it is all up to you!

Read redkore again. This is a GUIDE, not a puzzle, not a game. A guide!

Please explain for me, how do you solve a guide? try to understand it instead of solving it.

That's right, it's NOT a puzzle! It's a guide to Astral Projection-- SAFE Astral Projection. Or did he flip-flop on that now, too?

[nannou]

A few quotes by Marc (made up from memory, tho i think they are from the redkore.com forum):

Someone: Is this about astral projection?
Marc: No, but it will definitly appeal to people who are interested in astral projection

Someone: Astral projection isn't safe.
Marc: Maybe we have made it safe?

[Simulacra]

Anyway...
