as far as US pasports, dark blue is regular, and red is a military priority passport. (you get on a plane before a blue passport.) i had both.

I've tried plotting the grid but it doesn't look like a recognisable shape. Thinking of it as a path is even a bit dodgy. There's a bit where it goes back and forth for a while, as though it's lost and one segment where it just goes back on itself. One thing I'm considering is that it might be a path in PXC, in which case it's irregular enough to be in the catbite gorge area, maybe a bit north east of there too, or maybe that's where it ends up. I'm working on a more accurate computerised version to show you as I'm lacking a scanner.

There are a few doubles which is interesting (always trying to spot patterns) but if (and it's a big if) it's a path then that might just be to keep the numbers below double figures. There are also a couple of interesting pairs such as -(-5,-2) where normally you'd write +(5,2), that's just plain weird if you're writing coordinates so it is well worth pursuing other avenues.

I've attatched a picture of what results when the points are plotted on a coordinate grid. They seem to fall into one cluster in each of the four quadrants. (7 in Quadrant I, 2 in Quadrant II, 4 in Quadrant III, and 7 in Quadrant IV)






However, no pattern is apparent.

Also, here's a picture of the "puzzle pieces" from the animation

 What?

In case you were wondering what the lines look like plotted out exactly in order, here it is:


There's almost certainly some sort of requirement based on those pluses and minuses I'm not taking into account. That's next.

[Scott]

aaaaand, here's what it looks like if you take each of the points marked with a minus, and make their respective coordinates negative.

That is: (1,1)+ stays (1,1), but (1,1)- becomes (-1,-1)

It's a nice mess and if i stand across the room and squint, i can just make out a cube.

So, no, that's not really useful either, as such.

also tried a couple combinations with colours, minus/plus = red/blue; this was just about as interesting to look at

Ok, so I think I fFeel comfortable saying we are not simply graphing something on a simple plane. Not without considerable jujitsu. So now I'm looking at alternate fForms of graphs -- I considered some sort of radial plane, but that doesn't really seem to work out, and as much as I might like to try something in 3D, i don't imagine it would be any more useful like that -- and I'm looking at it being some sort of fFunction, such as (value_X, applied_across value_Y) -- such as X^Y or the Xth value in the fFibonacci sequence plus Y, but not those at all but those still are just junk information.

I fFeel like we should be looking fFor some kind of letters out of this. I was thinking of mapping these points on top of a map, either of the city or the planet, but the scale is useless.

Churuning away.

OK, here's a plot of the numbers as a path. Basically (having picked a scale) you use the first number to go along and the second to go up (standard xy stuff) and + to go forwards and - to go back (more standard stuff). Two -s make a +. If you can make anything out of this I'll be impressed.

Time... his time is wierd.

He says almost three years, 1994 was a leap year, so 1095 days is one short of three years.
26297 hours is 17 hours more than 1095 days (26280 minutes).
1577846 minutes is 26 minutes more than 26297 hours (1577820 minutes).

Make anything of that?
