 		I got the same (?) picture from the same phone number. However, my phone is not able to display pictures and i was redirected to a UK Vodafone site. However, I could not retriev the picture from there, so I don't know if it's the same.

well i have tried the obvious and used erwin as an .html .jpg .bmp etc and no hits so far.

Maybe there are more words to come later on? The game hasn't officially started yet according to the roman numerals on the home page.

Hi, I work for Vodafone, and that normally happens if you haven't got any MMS or WAP settings on your handset.

If you PM me your phone model and number, I can get the settings sent to you over the air - but I understand how that may sound a bit dodgy and no hard feelings if you don't trust me Wink

Plus the changed settings will only take effect on MMS messages you recieve AFTER the settings are put on the handset - not on old messages.

 		[SPEC] (now without spoiler tags!!)
Schrodinger's Cat

I'm pretty sure that's the reference the picture is making - Erwin Schrodinger is the originator of the Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment. I don't know what it means in reference to the game - I'm not familiar with the thought experiment either. Quantum mechanics == not my thing.

Edit 1.0 ^ 10: Whaddaya know? According to Amazon, Schrodinger has a book called Geist und Materie - Spirit and Matter, maybe Mind and Matter? However, my German est tres mal. >.>

 		The recording on the VM goes on for a while, about 1m 20s, and I assume the beep at the end means you can leave a message. I didn't try as couldn't think of anything to say.

The recording contains what sounds almost like a train, some random musical noise, and the beeps already mentioned. To my untrained ear it sounds like the same sequence repeated over and over, and could be the beeps relating to digital phones?

The basic theory was, if you locked a cat in a box with a radioactive isotope of unknown half-life, then because you would have no idea if the cat had recieved a lethal dose of radiation or not - at any given time, the cat would be considred both DEAD and ALIVE at the same time.

 		well tried Schrodinger in various versions, with and without cat, and with various .htm etc. Nothing.

The links above seem too real, especially when you go into Hazel's profile, under Placement it links back to Entre-Geist... I think this is OOG (by which I think this is background stuff on the PMs).

Exchanging Erwin for Hazel gives me a site not found

NICE. That leads to a bunch of stuff - including a blog.

There seems to problems with the site, as I got that for pages I'd already been to, http://www.dshed.net/studio/projects/diffraction/placement.html is the page I mentioned.

 		A quick Google of Ansuman Biswas reveals...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.orgone.org/forums/pubfrmorac98.htm

...that Ansuman Biswas, a performance artist, has been planning an exhibit based on Schroedinger's Cat since 1998. That must be our PM. Well hello there, PM.


(edited for the dumb (which would be me))

 		I'm also confused. The blog and the art/experiment is directly connected to Shrodinger's Cat thought experiment, but is Ansuman a character or a PM???

Here's the whole performance art thing explained, on a site called The Lab. http://www.thelab.org/archive01/gateway/cat.htm

Yay, Google.
