Lorenz

I don't know if this gets us anywhere, and keep in mind that I am no scientist or mathematicisn -- I'm just looking this stuff up on teh web, so feel free to correct what's wrong, but here goes...

The Lorenz image is related to chaos theory, entropy and the butterfly effect. About Lorenz: He was a metereologist who stumbled on the buttefly affect. The Butterfly Effect reflects how changes on the small scale affect things on the large scale. It is the classic example of chaos, as small changes lead to large changes. An example of this is how a butterfly flapping its wings in Hong Kong could change tornado patterns in Texas. Lorenz also discovered the Lorenz Attractor, an area that pulls points towards itself. He did so during a 3D weather simulation.

This is from the following link: http://www.mathjmendl.org/chaos/ That site also has information on chaos theory, etc...

Here is antoher informative link: http://www.halexandria.org/dward165.htm Look at the pyramid at the top of the page. It looks the same as the pyramid in teh fireeater photo.

Interesting quote: "Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit". Henri Poincaré was really the "Father of Chaos Theory"

Here is a site that gives a metaphysical explanation to chaos theory (very W. Bros.) http://awareness.deepskies.com/chaos.asp

I don't know if this gets us anywhere, but the theories all fit in with the Matrix.

Another File!

carelessly.ypt

It's a text file containing:

BUT A GRAVITY'S BORSCH-POO ON STUPID'S KITTIES STOMPS AROUND CAIRO.
DOGMA-LUNCHEON DOES SELL INDULGENCES!
BUT WHEN DO WE WEEP ANTIQUITY?


I think this is the last of the files. I have brute forced from a dictionary of over 15000 file extensions. So this should be it.

The crossword also has (Answer ID # 1031631) printed above it. Employee number for the Metacortechs site?

edhelper.com has a little program that creates crossword puzzles for you if you type in random words.

13. is probably AM
6 may be ON or IM (I'm)
