If the pentagram idea is legitimate, then it's possible that the spokes don't represent time or location, but "elements." So far we have earth (SOTA glyph on the rock) and water (glyph connected with "flood").
IIRC there are only four elements...

Not exactly. Pentagrams represent 5 elements. One such list (from WikiPedia)
Quote:
* ύδωρ, Hydor, water
* Γαια, Gaia earth
* ίδέα, Idea or ίερόν, Hieron "a divine thing"
* έιλή, Heile, heat (fire)
* άήρ, Aer, air
A lot of pagans see the full pentagram (five pointed star in a circle) as the five elements (earth, air, fire, water, spirit) as being contained/controlled by will/intelligence

WTF?!?! Didn't AR insinuate that he was a Compound Intelligence and that he and 4 others resided together? That would be 5 entities (elements) all may be locked/contained within the pentagram/glyph and each time we open one of the 5 servers the Glyph opens on a new side letting one of the entities free?
Are we letting the demons free?
Edit: I don't know where I got the "4 others". Weird. In searching back all I could find was:
...An older life is here with us...
...He's here. With us...

Not neccessarily, the old name for a pentagram was the 'seal of soloman' it was/is a protective symbol. Anything inside the circle is protected from what is outside.
This could be symbolic of the arc protecting the CI from what's outside ie the flood.
On the other hand, if the symbol were used for invoking (think summoning) anything outside the symbol is protected from whats inside, so maybe rampant pyscho forerunner AI

Looking back a little further, pre-Christianity, to the Pythagoreans (whom SGMX got the Element refences from)-
* ύδωρ, Hydor, water
* Γαια, Gaia earth
* ίδέα, Idea or ίερόν, Hieron "a divine thing" (or spirit)
* έιλή, Heile, heat (fire)
* άήρ, Aer, air
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagram
Quote:
The ancient Pythagorean pentagram was drawn with two points up and represented the doctrine of Pentemychos. Pentemychos means "five recesses" or "five chambers" (1), also known as the pentagonas — the five-angle, and was the title of a work written by Pythagoras's teacher and friend Pherecydes of Syros. It was also the "place" where the first pre-cosmic offspring had to be put in order for the ordered cosmos to appear (2).
1. Look at the first Glyph. There are 3 "chambers" of equal size and 1 that is the equal of 2 "chambers" and looks like it was (small protruding line) divided into 2 previously.
2. That sounds a lot like the Ark. Would that make the Ark the center of a pentagram?

Ah, sorry was thinking classical Greek elements rather then Neopythagorean (which I didn't know existed until 5 minutes ago).

Nit-picking I know but the wiki article says that it was the neopythagoreans who designated the relation betwwen the pentagram and 5 elements.
Pythagoreans just thought that a pentagram in general was mathematical perfection and called it "Health".
This also means that these particular elements were described/named/thought up ever so slightly post-christianity as neopythagoreanism only arose in the mid first century CE.
Your other points are intriguing... Time to put my thinking cap on.

I think we need to figure out what x.a. is because the d34th 4nGle 108 thing seems to be a handle for whatever x.a is

Yes, at 1:46 a.m., between this, E3 info, and another project, I didn't fully look at the info. You're right about the time-frame. Whoops.
I've never seen that "Dramatic Look" video. Awesome.

I do not require charity or alms
But I did choose poverty
And other darkness too
Will you wait for me?"
and now the new xbox:
|n|n|nROGUE PROCESS ghost.713>
x.xx.713> POS/NAV <@> <53454> <1>
X.X5> CONFIRM SECURE QUARANTINE -> qghost.713
only difference is the numbers!
Correction:
from AR posts: 53LPH54.6JG62.1740
from h3 console: 53454.64562.12740
This is getting into spec...so excuse:
If it is some type of translation:
LPH -> 4
JG -> 45
"" -> 2
OR the inverse
4 -> LPH
45 -> JG
2 -> ""
"
Did anyone pay attention to this post? Is there any importance to this discovery?

Back to the picture Perhaps it's so obvious no one bothered to mention it, but there's a big 1e100 sitting in that image. The smaller stuff seems to relate to our contact with AR; meanwhile, someone's shouting, "Google me." Sitting after our google request is either Ox or 0x.
Ox reminds me that there's a sign of the Chinese zodiac called the ox. There's also computer code under that name that does economic analyses.
0x is a hexadecimal prefix commonly used in C-based languages. 0 means a number is coming, and x means it'll be in hex. Perhaps there's something to decode...?

Now this could be just somone trying to be funny but I just tried to add D34th 4nGle 108 to my xbox buddy list and instead of saying no such accout exists on xbox live it now has him on my list pending a reply to my friend invite.
I sent him a message from my xbox.com page.
He doesn't seem to have the account linked to any bungie account.
oh and the last game he played was gears of war, so my feeling is that is someone just ripping off the name.
