My theory is that this has something to do with genetics (says the genetics brained person). From the title and the image what i think we are looking at is an electrophoresis gel of three different strings of DNA possible from different animals etc. The codes are genes i think and the missing pieces may be spaces in the gel set or microsatellites (bands of junk DNA used to fingerprint people with) maybe we have to identify the simliarity or the particular thing it is coding for. For instance 2HP could be the harry potter gene so called because it prpomotes longevity.
I haven't researched it yet though so i could be wrong.

Its a small thing, but the lettering in the top left "BR" is actually centered in its block Rand0m, so it doesn't look like that one is actually missing anything.

Haven't had a chance to spend a great deal of time with this, but a quick search shows that

Following a similar train of thougth to what Caz has above, I started thinking more of how the background connects to the "table".

In true Broadside fashion, I can say that the following WAG's are wrong...

I recently broke out my old molecule building set from college chem to see if building the molecules and putting them near each other might do anything for me- so far, no dice. I have made a lot of cool-looking shapes, though! Smile

If only I had the technical know-how (or a working camera) to do so... Sad

I just kinda followed along the pictures from the link in a post above and tried to jumble them. All I got were some strange looks from my work colleagues, and a bunch of nothing... one of em looks like a doggy! If I can get a camera I'll show that one.

No worries, I don't have a camera either so I can understand that.
