So it's a map then too?
Do we need to figure out how it was encrypted to discover the map element or...what?

[Guin]

How about laying the lines over the Granier pages and picking out the letters and words?

[achenar]

Oooh, yeah, that.

Or - maybe - each of the lines is a layer of a skyline? Although that doesn't necessarily help much - unless we work out from which point in the city one would see buildings in such a layer?

I dunno. Guin's idea sounds better. o.o

I think this is probably a curb "map" as was suggested in the other thread and that the starting point is the house Scarlett is in.

The question is which way up should the paper be?

Cheers,

I'm wondering what the context for the map is. This sounds like something Granier meant his children to find. How long ago would that have been? Has the geography of Perplex City changed since then?

Sorry to play devil's advocate here... Maybe I'll make up for it by reading up on Granier.

I think having slept on it and spent a night looking into it is more than likely something else - rather than an overlay.

Somethings are nagging me though. Granier's children for one. Suppose they did find the trail and his "wrong doing" whatever that may be. We know little of them. But the fact we are being drawn back to Granier makes me wonder if we missed something first time (yep them pages are dull!) Obviously something bad happened hense the "forgive me" reference.

Granier has been linked [SPEC] to the 3P (although our dynamic duo disregard this as ridiculous).

I can't beleive no one in the Adamek household had never solved the mosaic! Especially when good old Uncle Sanj's:

Looks to me like it's a square waveform, one that probably is carrying a binary message. Low state=0, high state=1.

There's a couple of problems with this idea, though I think they might be solvable:

1) There's no clock signal- we don't know exactly how many 0's a low-state period indicates. However, there are several small (maybe one pixel wide) jumps, so we may be able to use them as a baseline for the smallest unit.

2) There's no guarantee that the lines are consecutive- if you read from right-to-left going down (as if you were reading English), there are several lines that end in a high state while the next line starts low. This happens on lines 4-5, 8-9, 9-10, and 10-11.

I really don't know if this is the right track or not- I just don't want us to get stuck on the idea that this is some sort of topographic map (which I tend to think isn't the right idea).

could this anything to do with PWM?

note:-

The inclusion of a clock signal is not necessary, as the leading edge of the data signal can be used as the clock if a small offset is added to the data value in order to avoid a data value with a zero length pulse.
