its the entropy argument that is the most persuasive for the arrow of time -- heat dissipates

I'm starting to hope that MC are not employing people who think quite so bizarrely as we do, otherwise we may never get this thing solved...

Truthfully though, I feel the cognitive dissonance having spent a few minutes contemplating the possibility that we are *truly* involved in a quantum entanglement link - up via wormhole with a functioning cybersphere...

And then viewing the E3 Expo pictures, and realising that the reality is something nearer to bits of sticky - back plastic and cardboard boxes...

[Maybe that's it - the cube is cleverly disguised as a cardboard box...cunning...you'd never imagine it was worth much... Wink

Is 'THE CUBE' software?

Right, just one thing that I've thought of, MC said that the cube has been buried by someone on earth. Assuming for the moment that people cannot move from PxC to Earth, this means that they have an accomplaice on earth, agreed?
However, the Academy is the only place that has contact with us, via the internet, implying that it was an inside job, presumably. Also, this would make sense, as we have the most information about people from the academy, so we have the most information to go from.

One possablility for transfer of information between pcx and earth would be tachyon particals. Which is really a class of theritical particals. There are three partical classes Tardyon which have mass and travel less then the speed of light, Light which has no mass and of course travels at the speed of light, and Tachyons which have an imaginary mass ( as in imanginary numbers ie SQRT(-1) * X were X is an element of Z+) and travel faster then the speed of light.

So what could be happening is that pcx found a way to use tachyons to scan/see in to alternate realities, they have been studing us for years this way... then after the cube was sent to earth, they found a way to use tachyons to communicate with Adrian Hon and the Mind Candy team who have know built a similar device and can talk with the acadamy. Furthermore all of the internet interaction we have seen could be being hanndled by Mind Candy they connvert PCX information to webpages and post it and convert our emails to tachyon communication and send it to PCX.

This could also explain why the cube has an indeterminate mass it too has a imaginary mass which can't be calcluated but which allowed it to be transported to earth.

why does the imaginary number have to be of the form xi | x in Z+, surely (assuming we're wanting a "positive" mass) simply xi | x in R+ will suffice?

Meh, i dunno

Lets just hope than the final puzzle isn't actually to solve the problem of matter transference between two worlds of indeterminate separation!

It's why it's called the Receda Cube that keeps bothering me...The name could mean nothing, although, at the very least, it's the abbreviation for Real - Coded Estimation of Distribution Algorithms...

And doesn't the word mean something in Italian??

Reseda (diff spelling) means
Any of various Mediterranean plants of the genus Reseda, including the mignonette, having densely flowered terminal racemes and divided petals.
A grayish or dark green to yellow green or light olive.
Not sure if that helps but maybe the cube is green in colour!! Smile

Please see this thread for an extended discussion of "Receda".

If you search the Syzygy forum, there are mentions in a few other threads as well.
