 		The 3-dot triangle
So this thing is everywhere - being used as a logo and as a marker for us to connect the pictures, so I thought it was about time it deserved its own thread - mainly for speculation and research




It's the "therefore sign" - ∴
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therefore_sign
Also, if used upside-down, it means "because"

Used in Terminator

 		Maybe add some links to the assets in-game that incorporate the dots? Like the frames from trailers, and whatever else it's seen with...

 		New Zealand has a clothing brand called Huffer whose logo is a three dot triangle. Unless they landed a HUGE product placement deal with JJ and co., I think it's unrelated.

 		i read that while searching the meaning of 3 dots, i dont think it has something to do with the movie...."Mi vida loca" is gangs stuff...

I saw a reference of 3 dots in the golden ratio too...but nothing to obvious and big to say it has something with it....

3 dots forming triangle pointing down too, triangle pointing down = women symbol....but who knows....

 		 If you want to OVERTHINK this here's a possible clue ^_^
February 10, 2011 at 1:55 pm

Regarding the "Dark Side of The Moon" three dots comment. I am watching the movie right now and the three dots that you mentioned are the three thrusters of the space ship at the beginning of the movie.

Alright, at first I thought the three thrusters were nothing but then I realized that the spacesuits and the uniforms of the astronauts ALSO have a patch with three blue dots on them with the words "spacecore" under the dots. The crew also goes by the name "spacecore 1″ when they called for mayday. Probably just coincidence but you never know.

What the heck is THIS about? I searched "spacecore" and got a few mixed things. The first issue of interest is a so called CSAF Core Competencies. (Note: CSAF ALSO stands for "Chief of Staff of the Air Force, which is currently held by General Norton A. Schwartz) But on this PDF it lists the "3″ competencies OR "cores" as directed by a "Dr. Roche" who is: Dr. James G. Roche (born 1939) was the 20th Secretary of the Air Force, serving from January 20, 2001 to January 20, 2005. Prior to serving as secretary, Roche served in the United States Navy for 23 years, and as an executive with Northrop Grumman. The OTHER thing of interest is the so called "Space Core Directives" the link to this leads to a "Red Dwarf" british sci-fi series from the 80′s. The link for the PDF and Red Dwarf sites will be included here

(space core directives)
http://www.angelfire.com/wa2/smeghead/spacecore.html

(CSAF Core Competencies)
http://leadership.au.af.mil/af/csaf_core_comps.pdf

Perhaps this may clear up the three dots symbolism!?? HAHA doubt it but since this thread is dedicated to such trifles I thought I would post it!

 		Crazy Question
Is using these flashlights a regular thing on Fringe or is it new this week (I'm sure they've used flashlights before)? If it's new, there may be something about this episode we may need to 'unlock'....just a thought
