That's how its actually supposed to be worn. I'm not sure why but if you look at actual military uniforms its backwards
It's not backwards. The stars go toward the place of honor, in this case is the front of the soldier.

Now you know. =p


lol thank you two who answered this xD

ok pretty sure has not been covered but looking at the 4th image in ascent it looks like the canister is broken/cracked well the ends anyway but the fly is still in the canister space. not sure if is anything but the photos and film we are seeing the canister is always intact
(hey it's bugging me to why they included this one as the rest mostly make sense and don't remember seeing it in the video maybe someone else can come up with an idea that i haven't clued in on)


your absolutely right! but the lines when i first saw them, i thought they were just cracked but they aren't, those heavy lines that look like they are still the canister are only reference lines, like they were making another copy of it and had to get the dimensions. but the case is broken as if smashed and only the top and bottom are left with pieces of glass still attached, and the canister is not facing the same way as the one that wasn't broken. the fly is also in a different position. maybe that was when they put it on the microscope viewing plate, ya know when it lit up at the end. great find dude it was bugging me to

Possible that ascent is the key, but I have little doubt that they are all part of the puzzle.

I just can't figure for the life of me what to do with misguided and blameless.

that's the main reason i have that thought. yesterday, i mentioned that we may be overthinking....and maybe that is why. i am not saying to give up on those searches...it's just a theory for now.

That's normal for the uniform, something about how the flag has to have a leading edge facing a certain direction.

I wish I sucked less at image manipulation, lol



heh its fine we are all discovering things Wink In any case all of Davinci art has relative connections to the golden mean

EG: The Vitruvian man illustrates all of the divine proportions within the human being.

I had assumed most knew about the penta relationship to Vitrruvian man and pentagrams etc.. its the spiral of life... the sprial of the galaxies .dna sequence.. the ideal of perfection and constant.

Also it would be the best way to connect the reengineer/biomechanical....ehhh.. well I wont go to far ...just yet.

 		Aargh, forgot..

Since the vitruvian man text is obviously written in Mirror Text, this will be a bit harder -- if anyone would like to have a go, since more eyes are better.

Attached. Excuse my dodgy Photoshop skills.

I'm honestly not well educated in the golden ratio. but all the more reason to apply this when I have time today.

 		New thought -> New Post

Contemplating Decoy, I looked up Salvation on a thesaurus and both "Preservation" and "Redemption" are synonyms...

You would redeem a paper token, am I right.

And we all know preservation has a link to this whole thing.

Again, just posting thought process.

that's a beautiful thought process.....but what is the paper token? is that supposed to be taken literally? because i looked up the term last night, and paper token refers to the idea of using passwords online.........i will find the link again...so maybe we redeem the password....maybe for the "game code"?

I feel like the paper token is the ring itself, and that maybe if we somehow remove the 'riches' (being the ring) from the paper to see what it is hiding we can redeem what its underneath, just a thought... or maybe there might be a hidden file in the image were supposed to find or something...?

(BTW I tried seeing if there was a connection b/w the ring image and the vitruvian image and the pennmanship look too different, the ring image's writing is more spaced out and shorter than the vitruvian's writing...)

 		slightly off topic..my bf has been focused on the numbers in the log files....

all the numbers (365,147,12) have six factors......ie 356-1,2,4,89,178,356
147-1,3,7,21,49,147
12-1,2,3,4,6,12



just saying, cuz appharently it's kind of rare.

 		 REVELATION!
PAPER TOKENS WTF!!!!
ok so paper tokens are supposed to be a one time password to allow entry to something correct? well what if our sense print #'s are OUR paper tokens?! although some match it could still work to see who is the fastest and who is the superior person. just a guess but it sounded logical and very promising, maybe im dumb though

I'm not sure either way on the Vitruvian writing. One there are quite a few replications of it, two I can't really locate that lettering on the page. But I havent studied it thoroughly either. The idea is out there and I may revisit it.

Speaking of paper token.

Code:
p a p  e r  t o k e n
r e d  e m  p t i o n


Where my mind is right now.

If you take token out, you just get red em, and there is a Red M in misguided.

Totally a stretch in thought though, but my mind is working it.

EDIT: Nevermind. I should remember not to skim math. 6 factors and I assumed they were a fibbonachi sequence. Not the case.

6 factors could relate to the 6 senses the hexagon we see in the imagery is probably referring to. (But right now we are stuck at a pentagon, so not worrying about it.)
