just wondering if there may be something in the "possible explanations" of how all of these strange occurances are happening. The only one that they have trouble explaining away is the bell ringing incident.
prolly nothing but it is one of the things that jumped out at me.

Once again, I highly doubt this has anything to do with the sudden colorblindness


me too, i was thinking that maybe this area was actually in one of those "green lights/mists" that keep popping up. That way, they wouldn't be able to see red. of course, they would see white as green too, but that's not the point.... <grin>

could all this phenomena be linked to rendering problems in the matrix?

I think that's a good theory... perhaps someone needs to add more memory to the video card?

Or (more likely) if this is parallel to the movies then we are seeing it start to break down since Neo didn't go back to the source.

the changes in file number could maybe occur because Beth is adding files (in some sort of order we donīt know about), pushing existing files up....?

That would mean we need to find her own password - maybe she didnīt want Phil to see everything.

hmm i have a question for you or more... i have a favor to ask... can someone check if the place where happen anomaly is the same as the directory on metacortechs? I'm actually working and can't check that out....

I have a strange feeling that almost all the anomaly is located in the same position as on the directory map. For redland well replace it with the current real city that is suppose to be there but i don't think there is a anomaly related to there. Thank you guys.....

i've been working on mapping the archive, and "redland" has been a problem. on the directory map, you can't really tell since the dot marking the location basically takes up the entire state of washington

Well, I think it's supposed to represent Redmond, so if it helps, here's a Mapquest:

While there are rather obvious references to the plagues in the archives, with all of this talk of Alice, Cheshire Cat, and Red Queen, I started looking into stuff that may have come from Wonderland or "Through the looking glass". I'm fairly certain there are at least 2 archives in there that are Alice references:

#99 - "Child fell down a deep ravine but survived without a scratch." That's Alice falling down the rabbit hole.

#78 - "Brigadoon. Driver unable to enter a town despite multiple attempts." Lol, maybe they should have tried driving away from the town - when Alice wanted to get to a certain hill, she got to it after she started walking away from it.

The next ones I'm not so sure about:

#55 - "Rip Van Winkle. Man gains 30 years in his sleep." March Hare and Hatter have a problem in Wonderland - their time is stuck at 6 o'clock, so they're always having tea. I suppose if time ever "forgave" them, they would have aged considerably by that moment (though I can't be sure how the aging process works in Wonderland).

#57 - "Hikers unable to leave a certain grid square for almost four full days, despite being experienced and well-equipped walkers." If they were on a chessboard, they may have been making a wrong move, or it may not have been time for them to move yet - that's why they can't get out of their square.

@Yanka,

Man, I think you may be onto something here. Very Happy

Don't forget;

#72 & #89 - Sets of identical playing cards.

#98 - The Floating Cat (Cheshire perhaps?)

#60 - Twins (tweedle Dum & Tweedle Dee?)

and one I'm not sure of;

#53 - One at a time please - this is strangely familiar and sounds like a wonderland thing.

Now we need someone who's actually read the book Wink

@Yanka,

Man, :
I beg your pardon?? Just kidding Very Happy

Anyway, of the 4 additions you suggest I considered 2, but decided not to include.

Cheshire/floating cat. The thing with Cheshire wasn't that it was floating, it was that he appeared so suddenly that Alice had to ask him to appear slower, so as not to startle her so. So I thought that the cat might have been a stretch.

One at a time. It seems like there was something... Red Knight/White Knight? Something at the croquet game? Or maybe something about the lessons in manners that everyone is always giving to Alice? But it definitely rings a bell.

Definitely see the Biblical references in the archives:

1. Unexplained nonthermal fire: Burning Bush (Exodus 3:2)
2. Power grid failure: Plague of Darkness against Egypt
3. Locusts: Plague of locusts against Egypt (Exodus 10:13)
4. Cattle die-off: Plague of cattle death in Egypt (Exodus 9:6)
5. Loss of visible light: Plague of Darkness (Exodus 10:22)
6. Red tide, freshwater: Plague of rivers into blood (Exodus 7:20)
7. Congo hail: Plague of Hail on Egypt (Exodus 9:23)
8. Raining frogs: Plague of Frogs on Egypt (Exodus 8:6)
9. Multiple twin births: pairs of animals in Noah's ark
13-15. All could describe the Gnostic idea of Seth's salvation from the Flood, He is illuminated by an angel, who transports him to another place to prevent being caught in the Flood.
16-17 could refer to the stars pointing the Magis to the birth of Jesus
18. Fallen House: refers to the fall of the Jewish temple


That's all I've got so far. Hope it helps

DB

Is it possible that James is the one who rearranged Beths site and was hoping Beth would take a trip? I'm thinking maybe James will be there, wherever there is.
