 		 [INFO] [REF] Patrick’s Triptych theory
http://www.timehole.co.uk/Triptych.html
I made this thread to archive and for quick reference to Dave's and Pat's discussions on Triptych theory. http://www.timehole.co.uk/Triptych.html

Time Hole wrote:
Pat used to be bass guitarist with Somerset band Quantum Leap which disbanded when the popular television series lead to confusion over publicity. Pat is a self-taught reader of Quantum Physics literature and began collaborating with Dave when the two simultaneously witnessed a UFO over the Black Bull pub in Midsomer Norton ten years ago. Pat is married to Gilda

Tree Lines on the Ministry of Defence land in Somerset, England.

The military are aware of the triptychs that occur on their land and they are utilising these natural forces but for what end? First of all we look at the geometry of the land. We have the Oak tree (which is adapting itself to appear like a Horse Chestnut). This tree stands alone in a field which geometrically connects with the other tree (unconfirmed as a Birch) about 200 metres away and another tree nearby. The central Oak tree is connected to the other two and shows evidence of Tree Lines (similar to Lay Lines or Ley Lines.) The base of the central tree has been burnt by the natural forces of the earth making it impossible to grow. The tree has however adapted to this and remains as the third part of the natural Tree Line (or Trey Lines). After the three in the triptych there is always the fulcrum and in the case of the Tree Line we get the forest: one, two, three, forest. The third tree is on the source of power and it cannot grow on the source of power without adapting and naturally disguising itself from the exploitation of the military. Will they go to war with the trees?



Dave and Pat wrote:
Dave - Yes, we've all become very attached to Eva. How can we help her? Formulating the Lost Cat theory - you can help us with that. It might tie in with the Triptych theory, who knows. Nothing is a coincidence.

Pat - So we've stopped with the hex thing now have we?

Dave - Yes obviously we have Patrick as we aren't using it.

Pat - Thought I was auto-translating. It happens sometimes, like when I read The Financial Times.

So Pat, Dave. I know it's late there but maybe you'll get this tomorrow...


By 'Triptych' your reffering to a group of three that is greater then the sum of it's parts, correct?

The indiviual trees (to keep following the example) are the parts, which are just trees by themselves, but put them together and you naturually get a fulcrum which represents the sum which is greater then individuals (a forest). Just wondering if I'm following this right.


Patrick wrote:
Yes that sounds about right. I've just been attempting another inter-dimensional entry using the three steps you see in the video. They've still got it turned off, think I've bruised my ankle it's swelling up - me and Eva have so much in common. Cheesy

David wrote:
Patrick I have asked you more than three times not to attempt it without discussing it with me! What if you'd gone through and not come back?! PS Can I have my binoculars back please?


EDIT: re-tagged. yanka.

 		 Spec Time
Why are we just now seeing the videos that have already been discussed at www.timehole.co.uk and in their forums? For example on January 19, Pat tells us about using the three steps and how he hurt his foot doing so but we are just now seeing the video he was talking about. I'm confused big time so bring on the specs.

Are they talking to us from the past, present or future?

edit to fix a spelling error and I meant Pat not Dave, the game will probably be over by the time i am able to remember which one is which.

 		Present--it's actually just very clever continuity on the part of the PMs. After all, they wouldn't put the video up as soon as they had shot it (and the effects of the vid had taken place)--they wouldn't have the video up immediately, due to the need to edit it, the natural time lapse before they put it up, etc.

 		Perhaps i didn't explain myself clearly or you missed my point.

On January 19, Pat said this:

He says "using the three steps you see" NOT using the three steps you will see.

He was talking about the video as if we had already seen it but we didn't get the video until today (5 days later). Pat's Three Steps. Added January 24, 2007

Also, i highly doubt the PMs just recently shot the video. IMO, the videos were shot, edited, etc. when developing the ARG and they upload them when they are ready for them to be revealed.

Also at http://www.timehole.co.uk/Circletheory.html Dave says this:
Quote:
However in early November 2006, what we discovered on the land in question was another circle formed from small yellow cylinders. At the centre of this circle we came across a red tube, which to our delight and surprise we found directly echoed half the angle of the slope near which it was found.
(bold is mine)

We found this site on January 18 and today (6 days later) we get the video that goes along with the images. Circle Theory. Added January 24, 2007

And on top of all that, I never meant for this to be a discussion about the making of the ARG but a discussion related to the theme we seem to have in the game, Time Hole.

 		I think I see what you're saying Sylvia... Where you are going with it is another matter entirely Wink

It kind of reminds me of Slaughterhouse 5 by the aforementioned Kurt Vonnegut, that whole 'coming unstuck in time' thing...

Perhaps Kilgore Trout can help Laughing

 		I meant that, as characters in the game, (even if it was shot ahead of time for real), it would be shot in REAL TIME for the characters. So, the character Pat went out and shot a video on Day 6, for example, in the game, but didn't get around to posting it (as a character), on Day 9. But on Day 7, he talked about his Day 6 experiences on the forum (as a character). (Even though it was actually all set up ahead of time.) That was what I was trying to say in my previous post.

However, looking at it more closely at it, I think you might be right... They could be posting to us from the future. It fits with the themes very well, and it would certainly put an interesting twist on things.

I don't know where I'm going with it, that's the reason I threw it up here, to see if anyone else caught it and what to make of it (if anything).
