I don't see connections like the other answers
There are quite a lot of potential commonalities though - the glass grid/geometry/projection elements, the pyramids/triangles (especially the one on the most recent image which is pretty much identical to the inverted pyramid over the small normal one), the square that has similarities with the Stockholm one, the brown eyed girl (Mona Lisa), the white rabbit painting, the collection of historical figures in art (we’ve been presented with a collection of historical figures), the underground element (like a rabbit warren). The parts that are absent are the egg equation - although the absence of a notable egg in the Louvre could be interpreted as the “empty set”.
The problem is we have clues that seem unrelated to one another - the egg equation and the projection elements, for instance
sharp flame
and the Ovals/Colosseums?
pure loom
Eureka Stadium I take as pointing to something honouring historical figures on earth
pure loom
and the Ovals/Colosseums?
Just ovals, right? Do we have a clue pointing specifically to colosseums?
sharp flame
Nono just The colosseum was pointed at by multiple clues
but we have Rob's confirmation that that means ovals
pure loom
Yeah, I’ve looked for an egg-shaped building with an oval, but not really found anything solid. The Louvre was where found a mix of those elements.
The egg equation seems significant
sharp flame
however its relation to the Colossus of Nero (of the Sun) also seems to be highlighted by Rob
pure loom
The problem is that while the 👀 confirm things, their absence can go either way - either not right, or very very right
sharp flame
I mean it can't hurt to just work on confirmed things until they snap into place
it's a guaranteed result after all
pure loom
I mean it can't hurt to just work on confirmed things until they snap into place
I agree
Maybe I should move on from The Louvre path for a bit. I’ll go back to the egg
sharp flame
just need to find something which includes 82 and 48 (not in that form necessarily) in that way
I think we can anti-confirmation bias a lot of this stuff if we just ignore the rest
and work purely on clues
pure loom
Also we shouldn’t forget “gruk” or “krug” (potentially “jug”)
That was a pretty well-hidden clue
pure loom
Ah, maybe I missed that. How does it connect?
sharp flame
Ørsted Laboratory comes up more than once
just thought the Ø could also mean this one

I suspect this is all coincidental, but pretty funny nonetheless
Also, Edinburgh would make a great map, just sayin.

Not sure we’ve explored the vesica piscis path as much as we could have. This is an extension of that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuleaux_triangle
“Because its width is constant, the Reuleaux triangle is one answer to the question "Other than a circle, what shape can a manhole cover be made so that it cannot fall down through the hole?"”
“In connection with the inscribed square problem, Eggleston (1958) observed that the Reuleaux triangle provides an example of a constant-width shape in which no regular polygon with more than four sides can be inscribed, except the regular hexagon…”
Eggleston… LOL
“Another class of applications of the Reuleaux triangle involves using it as a part of a mechanical linkage that can convert rotation around a fixed axis into reciprocating motion.[10] These mechanisms were studied by Franz Reuleaux. With the assistance of the Gustav Voigt company, Reuleaux built approximately 800 models of mechanisms, several of which involved the Reuleaux triangle.”
“One application of this principle arises in a film projector. In this application, it is necessary to advance the film in a jerky, stepwise motion, in which each frame of film stops for a fraction of a second in front of the projector lens, and then much more quickly the film is moved to the next frame. This can be done using a mechanism in which the rotation of a Reuleaux triangle within a square is used to create a motion pattern for an actuator that pulls the film quickly to each new frame and then pauses the film's motion while the frame is projected.”
Some possible relationships to clues there.

Funny that Saturn appears twice on the hat then
sharp flame
Yeah I read that a while back
We know Saturn and rings are super important
But apart from that we need to connect it to another thread
timid solstice
why this;
"The three stars at the top of the painting represent the planet Saturn as described by Galileo a few years before its painting."
sharp flame
not sure if the painting itself is intended then
Maybe Galileo's original illustration will look exactly like those 3 stars
timid solstice
"When Galileo Galilei first observed Saturn in 1610, he thought that the rings were enormous moons, one positioned on each side of the planet. Over several years of observations, he noted that the rings changed shape and even disappeared, as they changed their inclination with respect to Earth"
so 1610 he did discover them but it was much later that they were determined to be rings
"It was Christaan Huygens who first proposed that Saturn was surrounded by a solid ring in 1655."
sharp flame
The painting is actually the more accurate then
Can't find any other depictions which look like those 3 stars
I'll be honest I just stumbled upon that when looking at Saturn
timid solstice
fun fact when I first got a cheap telescope when I was younger, the first time using it I pointed it at a random star and it was saturn, I was in awe

Looking at the three stars/planet symbols got me thinking about the three-body problem, which in conjunction to the saturn hints led me here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janus_(moon) It is part of a system where two moons flip/change their orbits (maybe connecting to the 82/48 48/82 clue) which, if nothin' else is pretty cool on its own.

I don't think we'll get the answer from it

well done btw

If you remember that we talked about primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary clues a while ago... well I would say that this is probably a nonary clue, hehe.!
sharp flame
if this first confirmation of all the Jesus clues we've been getting..?

I’ve looked down A LOT of rabbit holes! Hahaha

oh so this only links to this answer and nothing else

Don't follow RHB down this hole, haha

But don't spend time on anything regarding VM now, you might just get lost again... ._.

Anyhow… oviform…

Every time Rob says we don't have to follow a path I think of this 😂:

Hey fellas what step are we on?
one of many
we're nearly on the final step of the 5th part of the 1st step of the 2nd level
so, simple enough 🧠
okay you know what, I think we can really do this
it should be easier if we just take the unrelated topics, and see how they connect
Cause plenty of these clues can be grouped into the same person/topic
but not all of them
sick stone
but not *all* of them
are you referring to any specific clues in particular?

I'd have to look
...Solanum Melongena?
name for Eggplant
Solanum -- Of the Sun
I've tried looking at it from only the first image
since it's strictly solvable
and has one of each clue thread in it
there are only 10 observations we've made there
(one of which is that damned 110D831)

I was looking at the wiki page for zero the other day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0 (which I think is full of all our clues) on that page there is a bit that talks about Counting Rods https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_rods , which is what I believe the pattern on the microphone is. In the counting rod system that pattern translates to 48. Which I think is our link to robs latest clue. Also the zero wiki has links to most of our clues so far, its got eggs, its got cipher which I think is a Matrix link, its got our maya zero, its got our slashed zero, its got stars. Hopefully you guys can find stuff on there that I missed.

searched for it and it appears once only in a catalogue

48 seems like a likely interpretation actually, yeah
since it's 0
in ASCII
I turned 110D831 to 1104831
found this..?
"is derived from Greek chrysis, chrysid-, 'gold vessel'"

"is derived from Greek chrysis, chrysid-, 'gold vessel'"
The "World Egg" relates to a golden womb and depictions of gold eggs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiranyagarbha
Pretty sure I saw the same thing talked about with the orphic egg, but can't seem to find it again
I guess it also connects to Piet Hein and his superegg (in brass)
sharp flame
looking at the first image
I kinda see something that almost looks like a clue?
also this is the 110D831 that I'm mentioning

If 0=Ø it might signify to remove 0 as any set containing a 0 numerical value would not be considered empty (from my limited understanding). Doing so gives a hex value: #11d831
sick stone
heeeeey
so any o, O and 0 should be considered as 'null' and removed from any string, int or variable?
sharp flame
well the O = 0 = o = 0 seems to point that way
0 appears twice
It could be that Os are meant to be read as 0s
sick stone
'null' explicitly equates to absence
sick stone
It could be that Os are meant to be read as 0s
equally as likely

the term 'Red Herring' (used by Rob a few messages ago) was first coined when using smoked fish to distract hounds from chasing a rabbit
hmmm
Titius (similar to Titus..?)
named after the Discoverer of Ceres
"His biological work was influenced by Linnaeus"
and yeah all I see is Saturn in her eye

just gonna throw it out there: VM could be a norwegian/swedish translation of the abbreviation for the world cup (soccer to all ya'll americans in our mists)

I wonder if this mean we should look at the Kronos-Time angle?
Also good morning!
Or maybe just another hint to saturn

I wonder if this mean we should look at the Kronos-Time angle?
When researching that, make sure you make the distinction between Chronus and Cronus

Could be,. The Orphic egg birhted Phanes, which has connections to Chronos
As in: the greek mythological personification of time

Yeah, the one with H is the time guy. The one without H, the Greek Saturn 😛

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phanes Phanes has also been named Lord Priapos, god of fertility, protector of livestock, fruit plants, gardens and male genetalia. Phanes seems to be connected to Chronos as father/son, and this wikipedia page talks about how a sceptre was passed down through the lineages and/or siezed by force which seems to represent the role of ruler/king. The sceptre eventually reaches Cronos before Zeus takes it. Some Orphic myths refer to Zeus intending to pass the sceptre on to Dionysus. Dionysus is given a list of 9 epithets in Orphic hymn 30, copied of wikipedia:
πρωτόγονον primeval διφυῆ two-natured
τρίγονον thrice-born Βακχεῖον ἄνακτα Bacchic lord ἄγριον savage
ἄρρητο ineffable κρύφιον secretive δικέρωτα two-horned δίμορφον two-shaped. This mean anything to anyone?
