Can anyone identify the plant the leaves on the libraryofbabel site come from? They seem kind of important since the leaves are both covering the book and the decorative embellishments around the text.

For me it's significant that she is pointing us back to the infinite monkey theorem as expanded by Borges in "The Total Library". Haven't been able to locate that text yet. The wiki page on The Infinite Monkey Theorem is worth reading. It goes into computer strings (and we were told to look at strings recently). I did wonder if there was something in the one byte per character needing 256 characters. However my favourite paragraph, going off at a tangent, was the following, as it restores my faith in chaos over logic

In 2003, scientists at Paignton Zoo and the University of Plymouth, in Devon in England reported that they had left a computer keyboard in the enclosure of six Sulawesi Crested Macaques for a month; not only did the monkeys produce nothing but five pages[6] consisting largely of the letter S, they started by attacking the keyboard with a stone, and continued by urinating and defecating on it.[7]

because of this thread, i have a very good idea of where the cube is. in fact, i am almost positive.

its all because of the library of babel page.

the leaves are important.
