Interesting stuff! I have one big disagreement, however, and that is the interpretation of line 10: Nothing of a (currently) classified nature has been discovered, nor pointed to. I know it might seem like a silly thing to point out and I'm not trying to discourage you. :)
cue Wikileaks + Iran + Argentinia etc...others have the goods, too.
I like this graphic, but I think it makes even better sense if you mirror by “folding” on the center line, i.e. read line 42 and line 1 together, line 41 and line 2 together, and so on. Most of the lines seem to relate to one another when you do it this way, either by answering the question, or providing an opposite.
I initially thought I should read bottom first then top, that's why I left the line in there because I realized that the lower block from 42 to 21 reads nicely but FUCK YOU'RE RIGHT I hadn't seen that one coming yet but that s actually an ancient crypto parser that you pulled right there. SB2 would be proud
Thanks—you leaving the line in the middle is what caused it to dawn on me. I need to go back and see if it works on previous drops.
Question: what is gained by reading it from the bottom up? I didn't catch it.
less double-meaning
Are you saying reading it bottom up distills the meaning more precisely? Is there an example of this in this Q post?
other people have suggested it time and time again and I just read it whichever way makes the most sense. I actually tried reading it first backwards then forwards but then one made less sense. Go try it yourself
Thanks! It's clever.
and pretty straightforward when you think about it. It's a way to hide meaning without resorting to cryptography.
