I like the Rubik's idea, especially because the letters have different orientations. However, that only gives 4 different types based on orientation, whereas the Rubik's cube has 6 colors, so I don't know if there would be a problem solving that. As for the scrabble tiles, I'm not sure how those will play either, but it's a good observation that we haven't had any repeating numbers or greater than 9 so far. I still think we'll get at least one more image to go with the cube. So far, we have parts 1-3 in this image:



It would either take two more images to get the whole thing without overlapping the center square, or one if we did get overlap.

If it does end up being a Rubik's cube, maybe we can reformulate and submit it to Joshua to solve it for us.

'What is seen as two must become three,' I think relates to changing from 2D to 3D...Joshua doesn't have a good grasp of the 3D world, only a concept of it. My thought was to think of writing a message along the length of a piece of toilet paper. insert on end into the bowl and flush.
Originally all the letters had the same orientation, but with the circula (pinwheel) effect the letters now appear to change orientation (every 90 degrees)...'the nines form six for all to see.' relates to changing the orientation of the 9 to a 6 as I mentioned, turning it 180 degrees.

Even accounting for blank spaces there is noT a clear message, seems to be missing letters (the tiles from the blog posts ?).

Don't know but that my story and I'm stickin' to it.....

I don't really know what it is...

This just came up on the JoshuaCam:

@shrty - That's Ivan's "Dogs Playing Poker"

Mona Lisa, some Da Vinci... what is the picture that NAXAN posted though? It's the only one I can't work out. The others are all really obvious famous images.

MrToasty was 100% right.

[MrToasty]

NAXAN's is a Dali persistence painting I think. (Persistence of Memory).

ETA:
I'm guessing all were suggested artwork to review.

The DaVinci is Vitruvian Man.

The MC Escher I suggested is there as well.

So what are all those overlaid pictures supposed to mean actually? It started with pictures of a rabbit, right? Then went on to the artwork Joshua was going to analyze. Does this represent some sort of digital spill-over or bleed-through of things that are going on in Joshua's circuits? Thoughts running through his memory banks or something?

It's gotta be a bad sign, right? Like hallucinations or visions or hearing voices or such. Combine that with a sense of isolation and guilt and how far away is Joshua from being a schizophrenic looney?

If I had to guess on those glitch images, I'd would say Joshua is cycling through some of the suggested media. We know "Dog's Playing Poker" was Ivan's. I suggested the Vitruvian Man, which is in there...and I'm sure someone must have suggested the Mona Lisa, perhaps Dali as well.

Although, I do have to wonder, if that is the case, why he's flipping through them so quickly, and why he's apparently going back and forth between them.
