this just in from jordan:

(i emailed jordan to discuss the "symbol" with him
again.. telling him that i too believe it to be a map of sorts)

Quote:

There is a page in among Born Beyond Belief where Munchen say and I quoet
"Sometimes I have a dream.A dream where a "H" like symbol is the only gap and
passage out of the water that holds me down and drowns me"
I thought that may be of intrest to you


and the "peace out" really makes me chuckle Laughing Laughing

I have the feeling that Jordan made use of Frontpage to build this page.

As to Puppy's question:

A Uniform Resource Name (URN) is a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that uses the urn scheme, and does not connote availability of the identified resource. Both URNs (names) and URLs (locators) are URIs, and some URI may be a name and a locator at the same time.

Comparison with URLs:
Suppose you own a copy of the book The Last Unicorn.

* If you tell someone, "My copy of the book is on the lightstand in my bedroom," that's like a URL — you're telling someone where something is.
* But if you tell someone, "I read a neat book; it's called The Last Unicorn," then that's like a URN — you're telling someone the name of something.
* A person who knows where a particular copy is can get it for you, or tell someone else where it is. (URL)
* A person who knows its name can reason about it, they can tell if they've seen it before, and maybe they can talk about what's inside the story. (URN)

The formulas Element (VML)

This sub-element may appear inside a shape or a shapetype to define formulas that can vary the path of a shape, its inscribed text rectangles, and connection sites. Formula values change as the adj values change on the shape. Formulas can reference other formulas defined earlier in the same formulas element.

The source of the formulas Element is taken from here. Scroll down a little until you see the XML-template headline.


I cannot say for sure, there is nothing hidden in this source, because I don't know much about VML and working with Frontpage.

Anyone else have some questions for me to list in my interrogation of Mr. Davis? How about any other ideas?


I would like to know what (if any) was the relationship between Jordan and Dr. Munchen. If there was none, then how did Jordan become acquainted with Dr. M and his/her work? In his original introduction, Jordan says:
Quote:
I was always interested in his work. I was always seeking access to his notes and books which in today's world are near impossible to find.

I am assuming that he at least knew Dr. M casually since he also says this in his latest update:
Quote:
Well Munchen always said that anyone can conduct bad electricity.....


EDIT: Another thing that is bothering me about this latest post is that Jordan says:
Quote:
Also what is this about the Doctor muttering my name before his "taking"

Maybe i'm forgetting something, but I don't remember reading that Dr. M "muttered" Jordan's name before his taking. I do remember Lisa giving a string of binary that she had gotten from Dr. M just prior to his taking which lead us to Jordan's site. It just doesn't seem like Jordan has his story straight. How did Dr. M know to give a code for Jordan's site?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I was raised in Sussex. That's where I met my partner who I have been married to now for five years. I also have kids from another relationship. They are in there twenties now and both live in the United States.


jordan's playing the pronoun shuffle-- no he or she or him or her
"my partner" wonder why he/she won't tell?

got 3 questions as well..

* Trust and Time are both red, and Truth is green... What is the significance of the colors..?
* He has kids from another relationship. Lisa was taken while getting het kids from the creche IN THE UK. It was never said that the kids were taken as well... Does he know Lisa? Are these kids the same kids and did they move to the US?
* What is the significance of the Germans - Bikes - 939?

Greetz,

D.

To expand on what Drag said....

(Seeing as 'in the UK' still is a huge area) Both he and Lisa were both in Sussex, and by [spec] I believe around the same time.

We should explore the possibility that either A) He's a child of Lisa's. B) He's a partner of Lisa.. or C) he's LISA's 'creator' (the programmer of the LISA server thingy).

I may be confuddled however, as this is ARG is quickly becoming too complex for me, but it's probably us doing it to ourselves, or as a result of lack of info. What exactly are the 'people' in the server? Why is Jordan our only contact now, what happened to the rest (those in the server)?

Obes.

A reply from Jordan concerning the original copy...
Jordan Davis wrote:
Yes those notes are original.I found them in a first edition signed copy of Dr.Munchens Born Beyond belief.He wrote in English because he was working in England at a College


So original copy has to be taken as exemplar I think. If you print a books first edtion, you have a lot of copies of this book to sell, because the original book is the script, the author has written.

BTW: I didn't ask Jordan in my mail, why Dr. Munchen had written his book in english.

One thing I noticed, and didn't really think of until now:

Quote:
Media is short for Medium.


Not so. Media is plural of medium. Mean anything? Slip-up on Jordan's part? PM slip-up?

The explanation is not only weak.. its.. insulting to our intellect. And his/hers. Needs digging I guess.

Besides that the whole explanation about menace is also bovine excrement.
Jordan wrote:

So? even if he said it why use THAT quote. He probably aslo said: "Das war ein gutes Schweinebraten." (Those were good porkchops) So why not name the site Schweinebraten.com? It does not explain anything.

When you name something it should reflect some idea you want to make public... at least thats what usually happens. Unfiction.com. Do you need an explanation after you visited the site? BBC.co.uk what more does a name need.

Now we have menace-media.com Literally the name could mean: Dangerous media or the media are a danger to you. With media he could refer to the press-tv, papers and magazines- or even the whole of comunication. including www, celphones, wap, anything thats not person to person communication. I'm reading Lo-Tech into the name.

Point is: If thats the explanation, why should you want to put that point in front? Its not positive (and so far Munchens work is supposed to be that), has no connection to the name dr. Munchen (for whom I gather the site is made) or to his work (about space, matter and time)

Munchen-SMT-project.com

Need I say more? So what does it mean? Well that is the question we still have to get an honest answer to is my guess.

I think you are close. This feels like the right direction. Nice nice nice.

No idea if you are right (or cynical) about the telepathy but I wouldn't be surprised.
