Sorry, I know nothing about wikis, otherwise maybe I could edit/post the suggestion myself (I was only able to put myself on the agono list by following the example code surrounding other people's links, heh)...this artifact is actually chapter 11, not chapter 9, and while the wiki pages for the individual pages of the artifact describe them properly as 11-1 and 11-2, the links to those pages at the bottom of http://olympics.wikibruce.com/Artifacts still show them as 9-1 and 9-2.

Just so we are all on the same page (kneeslap!!) -- how are we doing the numbering of documents on the wiki??

I thought that it was by the Omphalos number given by the site, but we are also using the Chapter #??

By artifacts, the contents are labeled by Omphalos number and A/B, then the page #. That's the raw label (actual page name)

Aliases can be made for the artifacts that are more understandable:
By city - rather than Codex-1Ap2 for instance, Codex-Cardiff-p2 can point to the same page.

By chapter - names like Codex-Chapter1-p1 can be used, and pointed to the associated artifact.

---
As it stands, the reorganized layout of [Codex] links to language specific pages, which list all artifact pages in their translated state; so Codex-Spanish would result in the entire retrieved codex translated to Spanish.

The artifact pages (such as Codex-4Ap1) gives the list for that specific artifact page of all languages, Esperanto and all available translations.

In the end, for viewing, I'm thinking that the most relevent pages to be viewed would be Codex-Language, and Codex-Artifact#. Having a Codex-Chapter# would be effectively a page that lists the same as Codex-Language, but showing both pages if there are two. If there are two then that's a lot of entries (2 pages in each language on the one page). Feels excessive. If the languages were separated out (such as Codex-Chapter3-French) then that's a heck of a lot more pages to wikify and manage.

I propose that if we do have Codex-Chapter# pages, they redirect to the page 1 of whatever artifact contains that chapter. so Codex-Chapter11 would be a redirect to Codex-4Bp1

Actually I'm going to do that, and add the chapter index to the Codex page, below the languages.

I don't want to create more template pages... I think the most common 'views' of the pages are covered now (1: see all languages for a particular page, 2: see all pages in a particular language, 3: see a summary of all artifact pages regardless of language)
And it's all templated so that when a new artifact and/or page is found, the new code just needs to be added to the CodexLanguageList template for it to appear in all the right places, and be filled out. There's also an "Artifact Template" link in the sidebar with the wikicode for laying out new artifact page contents.

I fully realize most of this if not all has just gone over most peoples' heads Razz

.

So these are the primary links that are most relevent:
1. Codex
2. Codex-Language (all chapters in one language)
3. Codex-Chapter# (redirect to first page artifact)
4. Codex-ArtifactID (single page in all languages)

Thanks in large part to GeekDream, with tweaks from Mauroking, Thebruce, J5, and MaC, we've got English translations for Chapter 11:

"ond-partikla dueco" is almost definitely Wave-Particle duality...

So...Can we spec what this has to do with the waveform puzzle? It looks from the puzzle like there's branching and recombining, rather than just branching into multiple worlds. Does synchronous labyrinth running make the worlds collapse into one, maybe? And [big spec], are we trying to save the world by collapsing it away from a potential horrible end that we've started to branch off into?

Hey...

I did my best to translate the text out and although all the words in {} were not something i could do... I beleive it gives a place to start...

Hopefully someone more fluent in the language should be able to tweak it a bit more...

I agree that Chapter 11 talks about the wave forms and in fact gives us the Multiple Universes.

As i posted somewhere [SPEC] (i think thats right Very Happy

) I think that in order to get through the labyrinth a person will have to run through the many worlds not just one world to complete it. This may be why at the bottom of chapter 11 it talks about the different types of possible terrine.

Got this from "oneijac1977" in one of Ariadne's forum posts. It makes a lot of sense to me:

I have very limited understanding of it, but doesn't this codex describe part of **string** theory? Wink

From the translation on the wiki, I am intrigued by this:
