My diagram does have them starting from the center. I've just dl'd a flash tutorial so I'm going to see what I can put out.

But first, must go file taxes and return library books. Meatlife intervenes. Again! drat

Yeah I see your point. It needs more tweaking. I was thinking that the runner could be anywhere within the inner circle. But it'd be more exact to start from the very center. And determining the true center of the laby is a whole other kettle of fish as Mr. Judkins I think can attest.

Check out this site for a discussion on that.

More soon. much to contemplate and visualize.

Also, when I said center, i meant that as in opposition to the mouth of the laby as they showed in the codex illustration.

btw the cheat sheet looks great!

I think the way the walls move is not really that important, compared to the runner, err... running the labyrinth. I mean, it's the runner act of running the labyrinth what sends the synchro-waves across the multiverse, not the whole runner + walls + everything, so the way the walls move doesn't really matter. Of course, walls need training too, but it's just so they help the runner do the run.

About the flash, weezel, it's quite good. And I think the humming corresponds more or less with when the walls have their arms up (those green flags): the walls hum until the runner has gone past them. Of course, when a wall turns around (when doing the turns), I think he should stay at the end of the wall (posing as the final point), and always facing the runner and humming, turning with him, so the runner knows he is turning well.

To me, the first paragraph of Chapter 17 of the Codex implies that the walls do have some effect on synchronization because it says that unless you used the exact same corresponding rocks in two different worlds, building astronomically precise pyramids or stone columns wouldn't be very helpful and thus human bodies are better for a self-regulating homeostatic system.

Am I reading it wrong?

Yeah, Hikaro, that makes a lot of sense. But I hope that doesn't mean we need to choreograph wall movements for all possible numbers of wall-members! Especially since in some cases, we may not know exactly how many players are going to show up at a certain event.

Would this also mean the same number of players would have to show up in all other worlds? (Maybe the players can meditate while they're sitting at their breakfast table or sitting up in bed in the morning, and communicate with their alternate selves to tell them to show up.)
