[SPEC/PUZZLE] Labirynth/Maze next to semacode on postcard I have posted an enhanced picture of the maze thing next to the semacode as well as another picture which shows the maze the way i see it, linking up some part where it seems as though the lines break off unintentionally...
heres the enhanced one...
and heres the one i drew out...

Clearer, but I'm seeing a gap into the PCPS, top right....
Maybe the route will be a clue to something later....

I just traced the route. No go, it doesn't mean much. If I had a scanner I'd scan my tracing in, but you can do it yourself with very little trouble. I'd save the idea, though.

I think that may just stand for Perplex City Project Syzygy. Just a thought.

... or "Perplex City Postal Service," which I did not personally come up with but am simply transcribing from another thread.

Just a note about the maze, most likely over-analysing, but seen as it has its own topic - if you go through the maze you should see the letters s-e-n. I tried to fit in the t-e somewhere, but they don't fit so easily, so it's probably unintentional.
This was my best result, but with a big gap in the middle (marked in green):
If you get rid of the 't' you can fit in an 's' to take up a lot of the gap, but 'sense' doesn't work as well as 'sente'.
Either way, if I'm not the only one to see this, it wouldn't mean anything anyway.

maze longshot I took a journey through the maze to the middle from the left-hand side and out the other side, recording left and right turns and got:
RLLL RRRR LLLR LRR
(reached PCPS)
LRRL LLLR RRRL LL
probably over-analysis think it's more likely to be a visual metaphor rather than have any inherent meaning.

Ls and Rs Nice idea, I've tried the Ls and Rs as binary but got nowhere. Starting to think it's just a stamp after all. Nooooooooo!

ehr...I must admit I can't see the 'e' at all....

hmmmm...
Left and Rights converted to binary.....
...lead me to think about Huffman encoding, of course.
If we had the frequencies associated with the leaves, and what letter correspond to the leaves...we might get a message out of this.....
....could the number under the semacode be related?
but there are 15 Left or Rights in your path, and more than 15 digits in that number...........sgrunt.

can someone get a better scan of that part of the card? I'm still not willing to assume that some of those white areas aren't in fact walls... some places don't have a solid end, like they fade out as though it was too light for the scanner... we need a solid, dark, almost B&W scan of that maze to know for sure where all the walls are...
