The (psyzygynomore2.jpg) image I was reading some stuff on Lewis Carroll (based on specs that he might be related) and noticed that he liked origami. I had also been thinking about the psyzygynomore2.jpg image that is now posted at projectpsyzygy.com. So anyway I cut out the graphic portion of the image and made folds everywhere there was a graphic edge.
I don't know if this is nothing, but it does seem like a lot of the folds line up. There are origami cubes, but the lines don't appear like those of a cube.
Any other theories concerning this image?

Well... lots of them are straight lines, simply because they're square images, so I'd expect them to fold up ok.
Can't say I see where you're trying to go with this, but coming from it at a different angle I guess.

i tried it, and if it's origami, it's one heck of a sculpture.
or maybe it's meant to be combined with the other images.

if there is any folding to get "hidden messages" then its not obvious how to do it, nor is there any clues....

Sorry, I guess it appears my idea was just over-anxious speculation. I would be, however, surprised if the image does not contain some sort of clue. It seems to be a rather strange and over-complicated image to be just window dressing.
Does anyone else have a theory?
Other than the Ataturk Airport passport stamp (perhaps as a hint that that country is involved in the plot) I don't see much significance in the image.
Does anyone have any ideas about that top image?

if you mean the pic that looks like an airport then i do not believe its singapore like a lot of folks have said --- might be ataturk but i cant find same floor design --- all pics of singapore (although similar -- but what airport isnt? ) doesnt have same tiling either --- so shrugs

I'm extremely new to this, so sorry if it's already been covered.
I was looking at the image linked to the letterhead at the top of the letter (indexB.html). 4 of the squares are obviously closeups of the letter, but what about the other two? Has anyone managed to figure out what city the photograph on the top left is of?

the other two would be a close up shot of a £50 note, and what we suspect is the skyline of london. there are several threads which are discussing where exactly the shot is taken from, search is very useful
but i do suggest you read everything, as we are still waiting for launch, you have plenty of time to wade through every post and see how far we've gotten.

Speaking as a noob, the beginners thread is very useful, as are Nick_Doof's Project Syzygy Wiki and the tranZed Project Syzygy Primer to get you started.

Guys, it's simple. You first have to render the entire graphic out of clay and newspaper, but, AND THIS IS KEY, it has to be in the correct scale. If you print it on standard 8.5X11 paper, then you're currently looking at 1 inch=1 foot scale. You then fold at precisely 45 degree angles. I've done this, (meticulously for a couple months now,) and I've come up with the solution. When you look at it from the correct angle, it appears to read:

SUCKERS!
(just kidding... sorry I had to... forgive me!)
And that's it.
